Up until this post, we have been trying to catch our blog up to the actual build. Well, here we are. All caught up and blogging in real time.
We would like to take this time to thank the people who follow this blog and find it interesting. As of this moment we currently have over 48,000 views on our build journal and blog followers from at least 18 different countries! That's pretty exciting to us! The Countries currently represented are: The United States, Canada, (Hi Oleg!) Belgium, New Zealand, (Hey Sheddie!) The United Kingdom, Korea, Russia, Australia, (Hello Dale!) France, Romania, Brazil, Norway, Ireland, (Hi Larry!) Turkey, Philippines, Chili and Singapore! Thank you all again for your interest and inspiration! We had no idea this build would connect us to so many amazing people and places! Wow!
When we left off the coach was in primer. What a great feeling to have the fiberglass work finished up and the shell looking complete! We had originally planned to do all the paint work at the very end to protect it from any boo-boo's. At this stage in the game we are tying up Matt's shop with a camper that cannot be pulled outside for lack of being weather tight. If something doesn't change we fear we will wear out our welcome. Therefore, the decision has been made to lay down a coat of base, protect it with some intercoat clear and go ahead with the installation of all the windows, doors, hatches, fans, lights and so on. This way, there will be paint under all the bits and pieces and the coach will be sealed up and weather tight so it can go outside no matter what the weather.
Let's lay down some silver base and intercoat clear...
The roof of the coach will be wrapped in a vinyl wrap so it doesn't get painted. The wrap will complement the rest of the coach and have a vintage vibe. More on that to come...
Next, we began to install all the parts. Little by little she's really beginning to look like a real camper!
Front window...
Side Window...
Rear windows...
Hatches and Marker Lights...

So yeah, go ahead and check this out!
Rear Side Window, Water Hook Up's, Electrical Hook Up, Shower and Fenders...

Now that she is all sealed up, the coach can safely sit outside regardless of the weather with no worry, instead of just taking up shop space.
Here's what the coach looks like now:
We're all caught up in real time... So stay tuned for more updates, follow us and feel free to ask questions or comment! Until next time...
Happy Creations!
Michael and Carrie
