The under-camper

Tuesday March 5th, 2013

A lot has happened since the last post, but I will attempt to update you in logical steps. Since the last post was months ago I think we can all assume that I am a terrible blogger.

First of all we flipped the frame over and applied a liberal coating of asphalt roofing goop to try and seal the wood and metal from rot. This was the time to have easy access to the wiring so we added new 4-pin and 7-pin wiring for lights as well as battery charging capability. Knowing that winter was on the way and that the finiahed camper would not fit through the garage door we built what would come to be known as The Mingo Hut on the driveway. A skimpy frame of 1 x 2s covered with 4 mil. plastic sheeting and topped with an easy-up tent. The whole thing was then anchored to the ground with guy wires and metal stakes.
