I sanded the wall and used a flexible mortar. and i have a flexible grout. that will go over the top when I'm finished. and i used a Brushed aluminum 1/4" trim around the edges to clean things up.

That window must have been fun to deal with.  Those cuts look like Foretravel factory work  ^.^d

The window was my nemesis. I just had to remind myself that my wife will see it every time we go camping.And borrowing a wet saw from my cousin that does this for a living made things a lot easier.

RH1. looks good and just a point as I had to change the location/position of Micro when I did the tiling around back wall, does your micro' have the clearance from left wall so that if it packs in or needs service can it still swing down to be removed?? The tiles would make it impossible to remove if no filler piece to left of Micro.
I also cut the tiles to fit around bottom of window,and used a Schluter edge trim too, looks better.

Yes there's a filler panel the same width of the tile. So it can swing down.  Hopefully it won't pack in for a while it's brand new.

How did you find the unit at salvage

Re: My winter Project

I work for West Side Truck Parts in Owensboro,KY  and we buy wrecked and salvaged semi's.  and they happen to come across a few campers.  Coparts is the auction I found this one at.

Here's the link to the current campers they have.

I'm currently bidding on a 2003 Damon Ultrasport 34' with only 5,600 miles.  it say's interior fire but the pictures does not show anything. So i'm guessing it was a fire in the 50 amp electrical area.

Finished up putting in the new a/c units, and replacing all the phone cords and low voltage wiring in the ceiling. installing new duct work. and installing the floor this weekend with heat strips in the floor. I have a few pieces to finish up tonight then grout on Tuesday. 
Next time I think I will pay some one. my Knees are blue and bruised.

Put some temporary blinds up and some furniture in. We are going to camp a few times before I carpet and finish up the ceiling to make sure everything is where we want it. Need to finish up upholstering the window boxes. and building an end table for the other side of the sofa.
