You did a great job in selecting the colors and material.
I know that I have no clue as to how to select what looks good and tasteful.
I find that I need to hire people to assist us in these area.
Be sure and get proper insurance on your coach and protect it with proper
fire prevention as well.

Very bright and cheery inside. I like the floor. We were considering wood and may re-think that.

Hope you have a great maiden voyage.

Love the hinge on the couch! Sometimes I feel my couch is going to come down and break my arm off when I have it tilted up and propped with my stick.

I would guess picture is for reference for me to make my own. your are not producing those are you?

I don't have the tools to mass produce them, I used a drill and angle grinder. A mill would be the proper tool to cut the slot...I can post dimensions.
