Nearing the finish line?
It’s July 2020, the year of the Pandemic, can it be possible that we now have the time to finish Peaches? The last few weeks we have been getting her ready to go to the painter. We finished building the door, dry fit the windows, side lights and struggled with the front side windows. My […]
Grounding day
I started this post last July of 2018. It has been almost that long since we worked on Peaches. I wanted to get these photos in here but i am not sure i will remember all the details. I know we were rewiring the camper. We had to cut holes for lights ect and […]
Two steps forward and one step back, still gets things done.

I plan on sending her pics as we go along with the restoration of “Peaches”. She […]
We’ve come a long way baby…
It has been a few months since my last posts. Living the crazy, wonderful life! We only work on “Peaches” on Fridays and we have only missed a few. We are making great progress!I took photos of the back wiring and framing so that we know where things go when we put it back together. […]
Moving along…
It is funny that just when you feel like you are really making great progress everything looks like this… We feel a great sense of accomplishment even if every piece of the camper is spread over 4 garage spaces. The Vent was a little difficult to remove as it was painted with this […]
