Very nice, those interior pictures look like a staged pic for a brochure.

Re: Our little Gem !

Hi Gabi & Wolf ! Thanks for sharing the photos....you REALLY do indeed have a little gem ! You have provided ideas on both decorating ( you have a great style ) and rituals for celebrating ( I have my champagne glasses ready )

We are hoping to go out to Escape this weekend so that we can soon start the process !

Were there any other mods that you would highly recommend?

Keep us posted with your pictures! Cheers Janet

Re: Our little Gem !

Looks very sweet and comfy. I LOVE the curtains! How did you hang them? We're still waiting for our trailer (Oct 2!) and I wondered about curtains - I didn't think there would be room for a hanging rod between the valence and the blinds. What did you do?

Your photos are great and much appreciated
