Looks like you are close to being finished. It looks great.  Now you can have a second job remodeling Fortravels.  Either that, or buy, remodel and sell as a Foretravel flipper.

If any of you are interested in making a small fortune by investing in my Foretravel flipping business let me know. We just need to start with a large fortune.

A couple more projects to wrap up this weekend and then we should be done. I'll post some before and after pics soon

Figuring out our work stations was one of the bigger challenges because of space constraints but they actually turned out to be pretty slick. Before I carpeted the raises box under our feet, I wired in outlets for each station.

Replacing the old stereo was fun since it wasn't a standard size. Had to get a little creative with wiring too but pretty happy with the end result. I added a toggle switch on the dash so I can kill power to it when we are parked at night.

This is the second voonoa camera system I've installed and am very happy with them. Went with a four camera system this timing so I can see the edge of the narrow roads when we're down in Baja.

Also caught our youngest making herself at home already

Another challenge we ran into was the foot stools for the recliners. Once I put the chairs up on the box I built they were too short plus they took up a ton of space we didn't have when stowed. My wife came up with this idea and it works really well.

It's amazing what you can do from a work station these days.

This is where the ice maker once was. I wanted to keep it open so we could pull air in with the computer fans and pump it out through the vent.
