I'm finally getting caught up on some recent bow projects and I'm able to get back to work on the RRII.  The maiden journey to the Classic was a great success.  After living in it for a week I figured out some changes that needed to be fixed.  The first thing was the bed platform was to high.  I wanted to make sure I had plenty of storage room in the back.  After hauling a full load I had some excess room.  I dropped the bed 7 5/8".  That brings it down to a normal bed height and makes the inside look bigger.




I started insulating it.  I was planning on going with the foam board insulation but decided to go with the foil covered bubble wrap instead.  The R value was higher with the foil plus its easier to install.  I'm putting a single layer on the walls and a double layer on the ceiling.  The R value should be pretty high with the double layer.  I could tell a big difference in the heat coming off the ceiling once I got it done today.  My next day off I'm going to remove the shelves and finish the insulation.  I got about 75% done today.  I want to get the floor down to.  That's all I'll have time to do before Marshall. 

I also had some curtains made for it.  I used old arrows as curtain rods.

Thanks guys.

Knoll, I get good ventilation through the two windows.  At 2 am when I crawl into the camper it's cooled off.  The insulation should help keep the daytime heat down.


I finished installing the insulation today.  I had some left over so I added a 3rd layer to almost all of the ceiling.  When I was done with that I started on the flooring.  That went pretty quick.  It makes it look a lot better inside.




New floor mat installed




I put the temporary shelves back up.  I need to come up with an idea for a permanent setup.




I got a memory foam mattress for it.  No more noisy and uncomfortable air mattress.  The box said it might take 48 hours to fully expand.  The mattress is a little larger than the bed platform.  I'll wedge it in there once it takes shape.

Looking more like the Shangri-la than a redneck remade!

No.  I insulated the walls in the storage area.
