The Best Part


We have all worked hard to install the skins:

Sabrina stole Daddy's tool belt in hopes that we would put her to work.

Samuel popping rivets in the bathroom

Annabelle is a two fisted helper... pop riveter and cleco pliers.

There are still two skin panels not fully installed.  The front panel was left open for battery installation and a little wiring.  A section of the long ceiling panel is still uninstalled so that we can add the eyebrow for the
 front door.  

Hey look!  What's that I see?  I think it's an aluminum tent!

Time for a reward for all of that work... our first trip!

Hitched up and heading to Fort Yargo State Park, Georgia.





The best part about camping... being with friends!

  3. Fantastic progress & good to see that child labour is alive and well !

    Great to have that first family trip, even in an aluminum tent. I'm sure you'll have the interior back in soon.

    Enjoy

  6. My dad just got a good laugh out of the your broken door handle that looks exactly like ours. I see you are in line to get one of the reproductions. I can't wait to stop cutting my hand on that dang thing.

  7. Big Congrats! That is absolutely the coolest! Someday is truly a family team effort. Nothing better than camping with friends and family, especially in the gorgeous southern springtime.

    Sabrina is SO CUTE!
