I finished the floor install last night, but it was late and I didn't take any photos. I also drilled the holes to run the gas line for the water heater, and some electrical and exterior speaker wires, and the drain for the water tank.

The water heater got its new anode and when I reinstalled the screws that hold it in place I used longer screws that go through the wall and into wood in the interior to pull the heater flange tight against the exterior of the camper. I also put a fresh bead of silicone on the flange to seal it up.

My girlfriend want to head up to Michigan today, but I need to reattach all the furniture, screw down the water pump and re-install the water pipes, put a fresh LP bottle on and test the water heater, make sure there are no leaks in the water system and hopefully also make sure the furnace works. It can get cold overnight at this time of year and Laura is a wuss about that sort of thing. We also need to go get all our camper stuff from the popup and bring it to the trailer.

Personally I think we end up going up to Michigan tomorrow morning. I'll take more pictures and try to upload some tomorrow.

Managed to finish everything and get the camper to its home for the summer. Other than needing to replace the kitchen faucet due to a leak, everything works, electric, AC, furnace and the water heater. We are looking forward to a great summer of camping.

We have 30 Amp electric and water at the site. We bought a portable tank to haul grey and black water to the dump station.

And our weekend ended with a spectacular sunset over Lake Michigan in St. Joseph on the drive home. Hopefully in 2 weeks I will ride my 750 up while Laura drives with the pugs and I will head over to the Gilmore for Vintage MC days on Saturday or Sunday.

That's Purdy !  All in all you had great weather with a nice breeze here for your Holiday Danny.

It was amazing. By about 1pm Sunday the campground had completely emptied out and we had it all to ourselves. We just sat in our chairs in front of the camper with Q101 Kalamazoo on the radio over the camper speakers and enjoyed the sunshine and breeze. It was hard to finally pack up and head home.
