Not much progress on the camper build out since we are building out a new apartment in one of our multi family’s in New Haven that needs to be done for Sept 1st.

But we did start the wall paper and new storage cabinet!

Haven’t been over here in a while. Quick update on some things. Interior is almost done, just needs some trim and upper doors. My power steps were giving me hell due to a faulty control modular but that’s sorted. Getting closer to the launch date of Jan 2 when we hit the road full time!!!

Wife redid the floor again haha. This is def the last time

When I installed the new side door it came with this RVLock keyless entry lock which I hooked up on our last beach trip in the Cape. It’s probably my favorite mod to date! So convenient now locking and unlocking the door. A buddy is installing a car starter which will have a fob for keyless entry on the cab doors to the van too! Plus I’ll be able to unlock/lock/start the vehicle with my phone from anywhere. It will also allow me to have GPS tracking on the vehicle.

Thanks Scott! Haha yea maybe I’ll spray the cover black, although it doesn’t bother me much for some reason. The tail lights on the other hand are driving me crazy haha, need to get a set of all red tails.
