Re: 2021 Trip To South Dakota
she sure looks different and a couple of significant differences have already surfaced .... first, with the curtains closed its a good bit darker in the camper .... that will be most welcome when we are camped in areas that are brightly lighted at night .... second, its 91 degrees (RealFeel 98) and the camper's AC's are running less than is normal .... the new curtains clearly are better at blocking light and have a much better insulation value .... 5 curtains for 4 windows left to make and install

Re: 2021 Trip To South Dakota
happy to be able to say that it appears the leak in the camper's plumbing has been sealed .... just to add a little insurance, our youngest son crawled under there today and after checking it, sprayed it again just to add a bit more coverage .... he hopes to get back by here after work day after tomorrow and reinstall the underbelly cover .... tomorrow morning we hope to resume making and installing new curtains on the last 4 windows .... once these two projects are finished we can get busy with cleaning and packing

CURTAIN PROJECT COMPLETE ....
picture 1 living area with lights on
picture 2 living area with lights off, camera flash on
picture 3 living area with lights off, no flash
pictures taken shortly after noon on a bright, sunny day .... our OEM didn't darken the room anywhere near as much .... the new ones should be much better with at night in a brightly lit campground
we are taking the rest of the day off .... next up tomorrow, my wife starts cleaning and packing interior items while I do the same for the basement

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: 2021 Trip To South Dakota
kind words appreciated .... the rods/rod holders/curtain material/curtain liner cost us something under $400 .... the curtain material is expensive (OK, seems expensive to me) but not having to pay labor to custom make 14 curtains, that part came out pretty cheap .... I had most of the the plumbing parts on hand but will now have to replace them .... everything I need is readily available at Lowe's and, all told, that will take $75+/- ....
