Microwave on the left with 40 cup coffee maker used for hot water. Dirty laundry on the bottom. Got to get that out of there.

Better view of the cabinet at the foot of the bed. I always have to crawl in but it works.

This cabinet is made from very light luan and hold real well. I equate this to the egg trailers kitchen cabinets.

All this has to come out for me to insulate it. But you can see I was having all the comforts of home and still had floor space to get dressed and be comfortable. Oh internet as well. Also notice the screen doors at the door sections. I have the Vornado roof fan. Also the 2000 i generator which every night I bring in and place at the side door.

Yep the door stays open and I use very little propane. Might get two weeks out of this tank.

When I insulate I will be adding more wall plugs as well one at my bed for the lap top and external hard drive and light, one at the toaster for the 40 cup coffee maker/hot water tank and another near the front door. I already know not to use all appliances at once. What i havn't been in this for almost a year? :lol:

I think I will make the bed a little smaller for more floor space as well as lower the bed to put in a bunk above for the grand daughter to sleep. She is asking to camp.

Well the temps up on top the Somerset Mountain plateau is 67 degrees out yet the snow persists up here. I have my vent fan running. I can't park in the grass as it is to soggy.

Thanks for posting Russ. Sorry it took me until Friday to get back to your post, I have been on facebook too much this week...lol...

Your camper must be a large teardrop? It looks like you have a door on each side? You sure got a lot of stuff in a small space :thumbsup:

Thanks for posting the pic's.

Moving it.

Hi Russ. The pictures tell a good story. How well does all that stuff handle the drive when you move the trailer? Anything special you do to lock things down? -Gary

I use bungee cords with hooks to secure things in. Some still gets out on speed bumps but no damage. Still always working on it.
