New Floor in our Skamper Camper

The new floor is almost done! So far it is looking really good. We scraped the crap off of the floor and cleaned it very well. We swept and then vacuumed the floor as well to make sure it was clear enough. Next we found the center of the floor in both directions and then offset the marks 6" to one direction so we could align the tile edges to our floor lines. So far so good. I got most of the easy tiles set and will finish the cut tiles tomorrow.


Peel & Stick Tile Deal at Lowe's

We got a super sweet deal on peel and stick tile for our pop up camper. It was on sale for .25 cents a tile. We purchased two boxes (45 tiles per box) for a total of $22.00. This saved us $12.00 on the cost of flooring. We chose peel and stick tile for our floors because of the cost and ease of use for installation. Those peel and stick tile went on sale this past Thursday and they were only marked in the paper and not in the store, so there were plenty of boxes on hand.

Painting our Skamper Pop Up Camper

We have been waiting for the weather to cooperate and we finally got some time. Spring time is a very windy time of year in the desert Southwest and so far this spring is super windy. We wanted to update the interior color of our pop up so we went with some different colors besides the typical wood grain finish. We have seen other people do this with their campers as well, so we decided to give it a shot. Take a look at our pictures of both the ceiling and the walls. The ceiling's contact paper was peeling off so we peeled it off all the way and painted the hardboard that was left exposed. It took three coats of paint but it finally looks nice.
