It has one light, the fridge (if it works) and the water pump running off 12V .. I've added 2 more lights and probally going to run an inverter mounted up front instead of wiring in a bunch of outlets. we're going to use this mainly for non-power sites (provincial campgrounds) so I'm debating loading up on batteries maybe 3-4 and then charge them thru the week this should give us enough juice to run a stereo lights pump etc for the weekend and then just re-charge them during the week .

Do your self a favor and replace that steel pressure tank with a plastic one with a water pump. They will rust out. Happened to us in our old Terry.

Wow!! That last picture of the exterior is nothing short of amazing!! I can't wait to see the interior when you finish. Those kinda projects give me the shakes, so I'm glad there are some folks who have the patience and ability that you obviously do. Go for it!!

Not really... got a little help from my dad with the structure stuff and lino ... and other then that I'm just doing really cosmetic stuff now ..
I went out and looked at the tank the outide and inside with a flashlight. and what I could see is fine... it's would be easy to replace .. it would just be the water damage that would occur .
We brought it back home from my parents place ( we're a young family mid 20's with a 4 year old) and cleaned it out finished the roof and used it this weekend. in -1C weather snow and everything it was really warm with the little space heater we have (haven't tested propane yet)...here are some pics of it washed out pre-paint. I'm currently painting it and have lots of little things to do . door hinges , battery , switches , plugs, curtains, blinds some silicone, build shelfs in bathroom, new 12v lights and a couple new 110 lights etc... we hope to re-cover cushions next spring right now we're taped out after doing what we've done and just wanna enjoy it. ONly thing I've done so far I haven't liked is the roof molding by the vent should have ran right across instead of cutting it .. but Now I have something to do next year

Looks like you have had some fun. We did this to our first TT. It was a '63 Roadrunner. Great little project. Box was only 15'. Dont have it anymore, unfortunately, but had lots of fun working on it.

New hardware for the Cupboards and drawers
New 12V lights
One new 110 light
New blinds
New 110 plugs
New paint for hood vent
Got alot of the stuff free ( carpet/lino paint etc... copper piping)
Probally got about $350 into the inside... NOW IT'S ON TO THE OUTSIDE lol
