RV Remodel... another Lil' Bit

Short day at "that" job yesterday, so I got to spend the afternoon working at getting the Eagle put together...

Uh... We were startin' to look like 'hoarders'... or some of that "Trailer Trash" I mentioned the other day! :o) We've been goin' nine-oh since before, during, and after movin' out... tryin' to get things done... and then finding a truck so soon kept us rollin'...

... The problem bein', we hadn't got to puttin' things away and finding homes for stuff since we moved back into our Home Sweet Home on Wheels... T'was juuuuust a mite cluttered. Enough to make a bald headed puss gut look for hair he ain't got, to pull out! ...

Makes people look at you funny when ya run up and pull their hair out! :o)

Anyhoo... I succeeded at gettin' the greatest part of it stowed and have the place pretty livable... uh... though... you don't wanna look into too many cabinets... there's still a touch of work to do there! :o)

One of the things I did was do an 'experimental' mount of our lil' panel TV, to see if it'll work where we have it planned... We do like to watch a movie... Monte Walsh... or Maybe Quigley Down Under some nights up in Camp! :o)

I'm not sure it'll ride here... the wall structure of that closet is pretty thin... I may put some plywood 'plating' in there... but the mount itself still doesn't give me a lot of confidence... so what's more likely is that I'll just take the single bolt out that mounts the swivel head... and lay the boob tube on the bed when we haul...

Still gotta run the wires down through the wall, under or through the steps, and up into the cabinet on the other side... where the hookups are... 

Otherwise, it seems a pretty fair location... we can brush up together on the couch... or under the blankets on the bed... 'course then... not much tube watchin' gets done! :o)

One other lil' thing... when we were runnin' 'round truck huntin'... we happened to be fairly close to Bass Pro Shop down in Denver... never takes much to talk me into a stroll through there... and I found this Entry Floor mat...

I couldn't think of a better one to put in front of our door...

Now... if they'd just put wheels under that cabin... and a good Cummins in front of it...

I'm runnin' late... and have one more 1/2 day of the dungeon job this week, at the hardware store... before I can get back to my full time WORK... RV Boondocking the Good Life!

... and remember... Job = Drudgery... Work = LIVING! :o)

Take Good Care
Brian

Hey Brian,
Been at Toledo Bend with hubby and he has been chasing the crappie. Just got home and caught up on your posts. LOVE the truck and it is just what you were wanting to haul the two motorcycles with. Now on to big and better things, flashy, fine motorcycles. Can't wait for the pictures of all the things you are planning to do.
What are you using to hold the hats above the door? If hubby had the brains to fill up all the hats he has, whoo wee, we would be some smart folks.

Just some simple brass hooks... only... we have too many caps for the hooks... Heidi says I can't collect any more caps... or coffee cups... gonna have to cull some... but which ones? :o(

hmmmm on the tv mounting...might end up being easier with less daily hassle just to get a second tv.

thought about that a lil'... we really don't watch the 'tube' that awful much in camp... to tired! :o)... might be room in a bigger rig...

So far, it's working pretty well where we hung it... I'll just have to come up with a 'support' of some sort to leave it there for hauling... a simple strap to take the weight off the pivot head would work...

always 'something' to conjure on!
