The Parker Travels

We took out all the curtains and valances today but before we did, I went and labeled each one and wrote down on a separate piece of paper where each one goes. Then I took these photos to make sure we put everything back where they should go. I've been looking at fabric online, mostly in the neutral color family.

Lots of photos in this post. We took out all the cabinet doors and drawers, making sure to label each door and drawer so we know where everything goes when we put it all back. As you can see, the wood veneer that is on the doors and drawers is peeling off. We decided that we are going to make all new doors out of plywood but keep the original hardware. We need to clean the rust off the hardware and then give it a coat of paint. This is where the trouble began. The rest of the doors came off easily. This set on the other hand leads into the storage box and has some major water damage. So we decided to rip them out completely. We will be replacing that bad wood with a solid piece of OSB that we have and closing off the access to the storage box from the trailer.  I labeled all the spots where the doors and drawers went and then took these photos so when it is time to put the new ones back in we will know where everything goes!

Some panoramic views of inside the PUP when we first opened it up.

Well my job is done. I found a PUP that is perfect for us! These are the photos from the RV Dealer's website out in Virginia. We made an appointment to go out next Saturday, 10am to check it out!  This is a 2003 Coleman Niagara Pop Up Camper. This PUP has a slide-out dinette which is such a nice feature to have. It really opens up the space inside the PUP. There is even a front storage box to throw camp chairs or other things in. I love that! The dry weight is around 2,800lbs. and the max is 3,200lbs. There are 2 awnings, an outdoor shower, and 2 propane tanks plus the battery on the outside. There is an AC unit on the roof and a heater inside the PUP. There are 2 awnings, one on the front and one that goes over the dinette pop-out. This photo shows one side of the canvas open and the other closed. On the inside there are 2 King sized beds, one for us and one for Toby...(he is so spoiled). Also the dinette folds down into a full sized bed. There is a shower...
