I'm kinda laughing at that statement: I wrote it thinking the old was the Rubicon and the new is the Wildcat, but really, the old is the new and the new is the old. Whoever purchases our Rubicon is going to get one hell of a nice, clean, NOTHING'S WRONG WITH IT camper.
*sigh*
Our first trip out with the Beauty and we're not even going to get to stay in it. But, this is the next step - getting it up to Camper Revampers so that Chris can work his magic and make her like-new again.
And, oh, what a list to make that happen:
- Mold remediation
- Repair walls
- Slides:
- Replace seals as needed
- Repair mechanics in the living room
- Install slide covers on all three
- Reinforce slide floor in living room
- Replace carpet throughout
- Roof coating/repair
- Replace sky light
- Replace edging/trim in interior
- Ceilings
- Front door
- Paint interior
- Ceilings - white
- Walls - Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray
- Dispose of old mattress
- Extend bad platform for new mattress
- Drill holes for SleepNumber bed tubing
- Replace battery
- Replace water heater anode rod
- Possibly replace water heater
- Replace broken handles on cabinets
- Install MaxAir fan in bathroom
- maybe a second one in living room
- Replace fire extinguisher
- Install Wifi antenna - Wineguard Air 360
- Repair water damage in basement area
Diesel's tuckered out just _thinking_ about all the work that's going to be required to make it happen! And you know, so were we.
So, we've decided to "cut bait." We're not going to move forward with the Wildcat camper that we bought back in February and ran up to Chris in May. I don't think he was all that surprised that we were stepping away from what was going to be a long and extensive project.
It was 4th of July weekend, and we just. want. to. go. camping.
In the space of about a weekend, we went down to Ron Hoover in Katy and purchased a NEW 2019 Palomino Columbus.
