I finished up the last of the items on my to-do list. I put a layer of luan down in the storage area. I wanted to keep road moisture out and cover up the openings between the deck boards so the mosquitoes don't sneak in at night.
I really liked the looks of the old rusty hasp on the entry door but that was the only thing holding it shut. I was afraid it might break while on the road. It was pretty thin. I had a sturdier hasp but it wasn't rusty. I soaked it in vinegar to remove the zinc coating. It's already starting to rust.
I built a platform on the tongue to use as a work bench or whatever. I didn't want to drill into the frame so I used some all thread to make U bolts and put some tubing over them to keep from eating into the paint. When I get a welder I would like to weld some angle onto the frame and redo the bench with an angled cut on the ends instead of being stepped like it is now. I bolted a small vise onto a board that I can clamp to the bench. I'll be able to do some bow work back at camp now if I want to.
I took this old lantern that Jeb gave me and converted it over to a battery powered LED flicker bulb. When I get set up at camp I'll put a hanger for it on the side of the camper.
My Dad gave me this old rope bottom chair to use with the camper. It matches the look I'm going for. The only thing I have left to do is put the license plates and a small chainsaw sign on the camper if they get delivered before I leave.
