1993 Award Classic 23 Page 4

Let’s get going on the cabinets !

Or at least the doors and drawer fronts.  Then they will be ready to install in the spring.

Above we have the two doors from under the sink from both trailers.  One painted black on the front only , and one not.  I’m carefully removing the build sheet from our trailer to apply it over Dave’s door.  You can also see the black painted furnace cold air intake on the pile.  This is unique to our trailer so it’s the only one I have.  I stripped the black paint off and now it looks like new.  Wood plugs cover the screws on this and also on the two wall mirrors.

This is finished with Minwax Polyshades classic oak satin finish.  All the doors and fronts will get this treatment.  They will also get new handles to match the gold ones used in our trailer.

Here’s the old and the new. And the old are looking old.  Got more of the gold ones coming.  I should say that I removed anything that can be taken to the garage to work on.. The trailer is about to get covered , and will stay that way till spring.  One other thing I removed was the bathroom door. It too was painted black only on the outside.  Nope I can fix that..  Here’s a few photos showing the transformation.

Stripping the door down using a friendly paint stripper.  Then I applied a dark stain, wiping it off right away to even out the colour.

Still needs a second coat but now we have an oak door on both sides.  But the satin poly finish will make it “pop”.  Meanwhile I’ve been collecting some of the electrical goodies.

Blue penny lights to use as night lights. ( I have more coming). And two different types of USB charging ports. I like the one on the left.  These will be replacing the useless TV cable outlets.

Now I’ve finish all the re-finishing that needed to be done.  All the parts and pieces have been stored back in the trailer.  Except for the ones that will be modified like the night stand.  It was a warm day so the cover went on too.

I like to keep mother nature away for my RV’s as much as I can.  These covers breathe and repel water too.  All ready for winter !
