My 1923 Singer has never failed. Many tents, Flys and awnings. Took it in for tuning and was told it's a tailor machine. That said I had to make several boat cushions. Anyone needs it come on down and we'll get it out for you.

Do love insulation, none in my 82 Glasnose though because I am lazy, but maybe one day. The absolute best would be to hire a Urethane guy to come and spray foam the walls, then shave them back where needed. The next best is urethane foam board, closed cell if you can find it, open cell is ok. Just a bit behind that is poly styrene bead board. Some folks like fiberglass but not good in an RV it will pack due to bouncing on the road. Either way a lot of effort.

Wow, that carpet looks great!

Those curtains look stout too. I also bought an HD Singer thinking it was for heavy duty and discovered it wasn't quite. Honey dew is much more fitting! ROTFLMAO

Been a minute since I posted about improvements. I started with this mess.

And ended up with this. This previous owner had added some gauges and never hooked them up and I had a double din stereo I wanted to use because of the two video inputs for front and rear cameras so I moved the heat and ac controls down and well this was the partial result. I have more gauges to mount beside the stereo like rpm and trans temp oh and vacuum gauge but at the present pace that will be next year. just kidding maybe this weekend. I still haven't made up my mind on if I am recovering the whole front of the cabin ( geesh what a job ) or I can convince myself the contrasting colors looks nice.

Nice job. The instrument panels on coaches are pretty scary. I have added gauges and moved things around on mine and it was a rat's nest. A couple dozen zipties helped a lot.

Good to see you playing with the coach again. Hoping Jaime is doing well. Keep us posted, take care.
