Not much time (about 3 hours) to work on the Metz this week.

But we did manage to get the outside electrical connection/pigtail and the main line run to the new breaker box.

Luckily my "secret weapon" got his job back after being laid off.

The down side for me is we are back to working on the trailers 1 day a week or two if we are lucky.

But that is ok I am in no big hurry, and he is very happy to be eating and paying the bills again :)

So there are only three new photos to share...

I think the disease is wearing off now... May need to trade my 3 Scottie's 2 shasta's and the HI LO for one nice 18 footer with a tub. I think I have enough energy for about one more restoration :shock:
