Another red blanket from Dollar General,

and another throw from Lakeside

Still need to purchase another set of sheets for this bed

The free standing air conditioner was purchased

by the previous owner....he devised a set up

to strap it in so it would not move during travel

(I did not unhook it for the pic)

I would like to add a floating shelf about 6" deep

above the sofa....for more glamping!

Also, I have not made my pillows yet from my

previously found yard sale pillow forms....I will

probably move these 3 pillows to the bed, and put the 

new pillows here....6 total!

Kitchen area of the camper....

We had our first "catastrophy"....

our rear window leaks!

We had some pretty heavy rain here over the last two

days.....when I discovered the leak (which we knew about previously, the previous owner informed us)

I put plastic wrap and a micro fiber cloth in the window

while I was at work....I checked it when I got home...

needless to say, I was stunned at how much water was on the plastic wrap and in the micro fiber cloth!

I nearly panicked!

This pic really does not show how WET the wood had gotten....

This one window is a sliding type window, 

it has a gasket on the right side which is stationary,

well....part of the gasket was missing, and another part did

not meet in the corner.....

I caulked the areas....

I will keep a very close eye on the window!  

Leakage like this could be the end of a beautiful

camper if left unattended!  

Which will not happen!  Nope!

Close up view of the gasket after caulking....

If this does not take care of the problem....

then.....I will be looking to replace the window,

which would be a shame.....it's original and works well.

The remainder of the windows are crank out louvers...

they do not leak one drop!  Yay!

Well, that's all for tonight.....

I will blog again on how the plumbing and hot

water heater install go........

hopefully they'll go off without a hitch!

Remember,

(Maybe I will buy the canoe next!)
