Congrats! She's a pretty one. Whatdaya mean the carpet goes first? Dusty blue & mauve was such a great color scheme. Remember what's old, eventually, is new again.

I agree, us younger generation are looking for the old. I wouldn't be surprised if bell bottoms make a major come back...

Congradulations Ken.

The trailer looks beutiful, I know that you will make it your own in no time at all.

It just happens that a trailer like yours is sitting beside me right now.

You are being missed at the Rally, but family is priority one.

See you down the road.

Henry.

Well, I have got the trailer wired for a full 50 amp service and can run both A/C units now. We are now ready for the Texas summers and can chill beef in there now.

I guess Ron and I are going to have to start a Texas Boomers Silver Avion group.

I'll be there with you. Although, I guess we could just call it the silver trailer group. That way we might get some company for those trailers called Airstream.

We'll all bring our slobber rags for our "grande" tour!

A nice change, indeed. Any surprises lurking behind cabinets or drawers; or, on subfloor?
(You been getting some nap time in that starboard berth already?)

Rednax, I finally found the outside 120 VAC plug in the rear street side storage bin. No surprises in any cabinets. The water filter at the kitchen was bypassed as the filter was installed incorrectly and blew carbon all over the cabinet. It was easily fixed with a new filter. We found pie irons under the street side bunks and a couple of atlases under the sofa bed.

As for the bunk that was wrinkled, it was all smooth and looked nice until Abby, the 11 month old standard schnauzer jumped up and rooted around a bit.
