NOVEMBER 2011; RV REMODEL COMPLETED!

We're getting ready to put the Four Winds away for a two month rest. But there was one thing that we discovered during the summer....that the dining area and couch were very uncomfortable for our old bones. After talking to several professionals in the RV area....we began the "transformation" of our Four Winds. Try and remodel a 6' x 7' living area....and make it look bigger than it is. And then we began....ripping out the booth dinette, and the jack-knife couch. The place looked big then.



Down to the wood floor. There was a "creeck" sound in the floor that drove us batty! We found someone who could get rid of it for us. We had that person rip out the carpet, fix the "creek" sound....and then he installed a wood-grain lynoleum flooring.

The new floor going in....
The these chairs we purchased from an Amish chair company. We went back there 3 times to sit in them and make sure that they were absolutely perfect....and then we ordered them.


The end table between the chairs also has side leafs that can be raised for our dining table. Nice and compact.

There was an outside compartment that extended into the living area...under the couch. So, we had to hide it. Look at the way that we hid it! The gentleman who laid the floor also builds cabinets for an Elkhart, IN RV company. And this is what he made for us. The big black square in the middle of the cabinet is an electric "fireplace"! That was my birthday present. (two months ago :)

Ta Dah! This is the living area of our RV....all finished. Finally! (this project took about 3 months....not because anything was that time consuming....but because we had difficulty getting in touch with our elusive workman. Good guy....just doesn't like to answer his phone :)

And there is one happy camper...

And so goes our Four Winds....soon into storage....to rest, and to wait....until our next adventure.



Until we "connect" again....

  1. I think your living area is a lot better with those comfortable looking chairs in place. The compact dining table is also a great addition to the living room. I think that’s much better than the booth dinette set. The new table opens up the space for more additions which you might want in the future. And if you don’t have any additions in mind, it’s always good to have a bit of space to move around. Anyway, I’m looking forward to see more updates about your RV!
