Doug, am I correct to assume the seat tops will lift up to provide storage space under them.

[doug hodder]

Yes... Both will have hinged seats on top. Doug

[doug hodder]

Doug, where did you get your counter top and kidney table aluminum edge molding?

Cardo Aluminum in Sacramento

[TheresaD]

Doug that is sweet!! and oh sooo Scottyesque. You did a beautiful job with the cabinets. I like the lines. It looks like you made your kitchenette counter a good bit wider than an average Scotty gaucho kitchenette. That will be nice for some extra storage. I see what you mean though..It definitely doesn't leave you alot of room for your dinette seats. You did a nice job making them work though. They look great! That suure is a beeeuuutiful lookin camper so far!!

Hey Cliff I'd like to see that table mount arrangement. I'm going to need to do get something for mine and I'm not sure what to get yet. I need to have a look at what some of the old Scottys had. I'm sure I could find something similar to replace it with.

Tho I might have to rethink those colors......

Styling critique from a man wearing the coat you're wearing in your avatar?

Where do ya think I got the cloth for that coat!

[doug hodder]

You can get that stuff at Vintage Trailer Supply .

I forgot all about them Gage. I got the corner molding from them and even asked about the table bracket. DUH....Doug

I should have posted the hardware picture. Yes, what Gage said, Vintage Trailer Supply.

As a side note on that bracket, it must be vertical to use. If you have a curved front, it needs to have a backer board to get the bracket so that it will work correctly. Just what they told me. Doug

[doug hodder]

Here's my Sunday update. I got the table leg made (kinda like a martini glass according to Steve E), countersunk the formica into the back, routed the front and 2 toned it. Both the seats are painted and installed for good, table top laminated and trimmed. Waiting for the sliding attachment that both Cliff and Gage had mentioned. The rest of the time was spent finishing up some of the interior aluminum trim that I had been putting off.

I couldn't do the aluminum trim on the table as I drove like 60 miles down to see the guy at Cardo alum. He's closed for a week. Went to Dr. Georges RV salvage around the corner to check out some used doors and frames. They start at 150$ and were beaters. I can't see buying one and then cutting it up to make it fit and it's crap to begin with. I did pick up some chrome trim rings for my taillights and a hinge. Hardly worth the 120 miles of driving. I'll fabricate up my own frame/hinge/door assembly.

I also got my coral melmac dishes. Great deal on E-bay...50 cents, unfortunately he didn't pack them worth a hoot and the large platter, 2 bowls, and a plate were shattered. It wasn't a complete set to begin with...now it's even less. It was a no name brand, I just wanted it for the color. Oh well......Doug

[rainjer]

That looks freaking awesome!!!!

Are you putting a fresh water & grey water tank in?

Can you post a picture of you plates? I think I saw some at the 2nd hand store.

Jeremy

[doug hodder]

Just a fresh water tank Jeremy, 10gal. I will be able to attach to a spigot or pump from the tank. I'll just catch the gray water, but can connect to a sewer like in a developed camp. I probably won't use the sink much anyway, I do most the cooking/cleaning outdoors when I camp. Not doing an electrical pump on it. I have a hand pump. Doug

[dhazard]

Hi Doug, will you have it done in time for the Damp Gathering?

[doug hodder]

Dunno Dan....I was thinking it's coming out party would be Memorial Day weekend. I was going to go up near Wolf Creek. Penny and Rich...(Rocketear owners) have a couple of spots for that weekend and it's only like 25 miles from home. The dam would be about 4 weeks earlier and it's primarily a tear drop gathering. I got one of them too so I'm covered! Doug

[S. Heisley]

Can't wait to see it!

[Steve E]

It really does look GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! All coming together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
