Day 13: Coleman Lantern and Headlamps!

Saturday was another long day working on the camper.  We were able to get a lot done but we were using headlamps to finish things up!  We replaced the rest of the floor in the back of the camper and got one of the back corners in.  The floor was a challenge to get out.  all of the carriage bolts holding it down had to be cut and pulled out.  We also had to remove the steps and we pulled the contraption off the back that someone had built to replace the luggage door.  we wanted to replace the rest of the floor in one piece but the sheet of plywood was not big enough so we ended up having to piece it.  It feels really good to have a solid floor by the front door again instead of something that felt like a sponge!  Once it came time to put the corner piece in place, we had pre-made during the week, it was getting dark.  The drop light decided not to work so one of my dads old Coleman lanterns did the trick and the new corner looks great! Looking forward to what we will be able to get done next time!  Every time we replace a rotten piece of wood with a new one we are one more step closer to having a new camper!

cutting out the floor!

We had to wiggle the floor free but it came out rot and all!

now to clean up the frame and look the luggage door thing is gone!
The contraption that was hanging on the back was very heavy
and I was very glad to pull it off!
