Is that the same one you had at Greens Lake Esmerelda? Somehow it looks different.

Same one Marj - but the awning was missing at Greens but there is another one now.  I have had some work done - the bed (at the front) has been raised to fit the porta potti underneath - there is a cupboard and three access hatches under the new mattress - it is much higher now and a little wider.  The battery is installed properly and there is a plug for the solar panels to connect to the battery.  The ceiling has been replaced and the leak fixed. The water inlet cover has been replaced and the breather pipe fixed.  I made new curtains and new covers for the seats - in fact I replaced the seat cushions with new foam as well.

Cheers, Helen

You have done a wonderful job on it. Makes me feel quite lazy, I should replace the seat cushions on Myrtle too. They are a horrible old brown.

Mine are a nice brown - got the foam at Clark Rubber - not cheap but very comfy - also got the new mattress there - and tonight I get to sleep on it for the first time.

What density foam did you choose? We are thinking of replacing the mattress in our camper so will be interested to hear. How you slept.

Very nice. What size is it? Looks similar to my Lulu. Sounds like you've done your reno a bit like mine.

It looks like an off road model. Does it have independent suspension? I, also would like to see some interior pics. Thanks, Bill

Will take some photos of the inside tomorrow and post them tomorrow evening.  No Bill it is not off road but the springs or whatever have been raised (before I bought it).  Unfortunately no independent suspension, maybe one day ... maybe another van a little larger.  Many things can happen.

Cheers, Helen

 Slept like a log Pam!!  It is a six inch foam mattress, medium density I think.

Looks good Helen - all bright and shiny - the awning looks great - will be a good asset, and glad the bed is comfy. Enjoy your "born again" maiden voyage!!!!

Photos of inside as requested - bit messy but that's life

In the second photo - the white circular thingy is the radio speaker and the smaller black one is an airconditioning duct - there are three altogether also one at the back and the other from under the seat where the airconditioner is.
