Mary,
Thanks for the complement on my blog. No, I don't actually own any pink tools. Only because I am really rough on my tools and I'm not sure how well made pink tools are.

I've been working on getting my air conditioner installed. The hole is cut at floor level at the back end of the trailer.
Image
I used a small piece of 2X10 pressure treated wood to make a shelf. The shelf is attached to the bumber with L brackets.
Image
I will be copying and excellent idea that I saw on this forum. The AC will not be permanately attached so that it can be pushed inside the trailer while traveling. Like others have done, I will be putting a small door on the outside for travel mode. If anyone that has done this has any helpful tips, I would appreciate the advice.

Great idea Michele. Btw---if you find the blue on your smurf boxes shows you can use plastic paint to make the pink. :thumbsup: Did mine in red but had to do multiple layers.

I finished my little dinette table today. This is the last thing I need to be working on considering I still don't even have a door. But this was so much fun to build and even more fun to paint. I used the folding leg and brackets from the table in the old camper.

Camper's looking great :thumbsup:
I'm scared to let my Granduaghter look at your pics. She's already wanting to "Girl Out" my build with pink.
Maybe I'll build her one too.

I ran my wiring this weekend. I will attempt to explain what I did but I'm not sure what all the technical terms are. My dad is the one that told me how to do this. I just followed his instructions.

I used a 15 amp power inlet from Bass Pro Shop
Image
Image
Image
Image

A 12 gauge extension cord (pink, of course)
Image

All circuits are run with 12 gauge stranded wire
Image
Image

There are 4 circuits running to four 15 amp circuit breakers. I realize that I didn't have to run so many circuits but this was the easiest way for me to understand it without getting confused with so many wires.
Image

There are 4 receptacles and 1 light switch. There is also a ground wire connected to the frame.

:thumbsup: Power to the TTT :lol: Beautiful wiring job Michele. That is a lot of power potential. You might want to make a schematic and glue it somewhere handy.

At some point in the future you might want to go ahead and get a 30 amp inlet and load it up with accessories. 8) Hair dryers, hot plates and microwaves :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
