Tweaking My Pick-Up Camper

 Tweaking the camper, come on in!

 

 LED light over the bed.

 

 

Electric Fan

 

 

Portable DVD Player

(Steve won this at a company

Christmas party one year and

we never really used it)

 

 

 

All powered by this baby.

(it can be charged at home, in the 

truck while driving, or 

by a solar panel)

 

 

Then a dear friend gifted me 

with a Walmart gift card,

and I bought this with it.

 

 

I built this over the wheel well.

You can't see it very well,

but I added a slot above it . . .

 

 Where I can slide this shelf in when needed.

The box is great for the lantern, paper plates,

cups and bowls and a roll of paper towels.

 

 

I can also turn it the other way,

and create a table that comes 

nearly to the bed, good for

eating or playing cards.

 

 

The porta-potty is tucked under 

this little desk

and inside is . . .

 

Toiletries and first aid. 

 

 

I'll fill the cupboard with

dry goods just before a trip,

and the little drawer is a great place . . .

 

 

 for eating utensils.

 

Hanging on the outside by the

tailgate are my cooking utensils.

Beside the bed is the tackle box 

with a tissue box handy on top

and under the bed are two bids, 

dish pads, fishing poles

and my wiener fork.

 

 

There are two stacked runner rugs inside 

for comfortable sleeping for the dogs

and easy shake out cleaning. 

 

Come on, let's go camping! 

 Thanks for visiting . . .

and please leave a comment.

Camping We Will Go

I have been looking for a jig 

that was in my budget 

and that would give me a little more 

(a lot more) independence.

I was about to give up . . .

When driving to my sister-in-law's

a little over a week ago I spied

this with a "For Sale" sign in the window.

I almost didn't stop because I 

thought it would be over

what I wanted to spend.

 

 

But instead it was a very well

maintained 2009 with . . . get this,

brand new tires and brakes.

Steve would like that :)

Yes, on my test drive I took it to our

friend, who is a mechanic and he

drove it, put it on the racks 

and gave it a good look over.

  This will give me a way

to run errands that I was depending 

on others to do for me . . .

Sometimes you just need something bigger

than your car to haul things.

 

 

 Well, after having it for a week,

and a bit of plywood from Steve's stash.

 

a bit of fabric from my stash

 

some small pieces of furniture,

that I had intended on putting

in a yard sale

 

and some camping gear we already had . . .

Hey, if a girl has to use a port-a-potty

she wants it cute, right?

 

 

This is the way the back looks now. 

under the bed I have two storage bins

and room for our fishing poles. 

 

 

I screwed that wooden box to the 

top of this little school desk

so that I could store small easy 

to get to items,

but I can still lift the lid 

for more storage. 

 This little cabinet has a glass door,

so I thought it would be a great

place for snacks that don't need to be on ice

and safely tucked where the dogs can't get them :)

I fastened it down with wire on the back side.

Hopefully nothing will be flying around 

while driving. 

 

That's it . . .

now when a friend says

"let's go camping"

I'm ready to roll. 

Well, that's my post.

I hope you enjoyed it.

Remember to put God first . . .

the Lord is always there waiting 

for you to say "hello"

He wants to be in your life . . .

protecting and guiding you each 

and every day :)

 

God bless you,

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)
