Moving right along.....!

Ridding out, packing the RV, advertising the main high-dollar things to sell from the house, furniture and such.
Decisions, decisions!
Meanwhile, I had ordered a Berkey water filter, and the Nature's Head composting toilet. I had seen reviews on both over the last several months and studied up on them. The composting toilet would enable me to stay out in some highly desirable scenic painting areas without have to pull up camp and go empty my black water tank every ten days or so. I watched you-tube videos on how this works until I could practically recite them word for word!I thought my friend Kent would be just the person to properly remove the RV toilet and install the composting one,  as well as a couple other things I wanted to change in my RV to make it my "home".

                           
I still have plenty of room to get into my shower.


He also installed my best painting easel!
This was placed where the large dog crate had been which was no longer needed. I had room to set up my folding chair in front of the easel for days I need to paint inside.

Then a little extra touch was added, making it even more homey. I was going to be able to have a window shelf! The dinette would be transformed into a day bed/couch type fixture that would allow me to keep my under-bench storage areas as well as creating my space under where the lowered table is. Maybe Miss Izzy will want that for her hide-a-way place. She was always crawling under my bed in the house to go to sleep.
So I picked up some 4" foam to use for under the shelf, by which cutting the pieces in half lengthwise, gave the perfect fit 
In this next photo you can see the nice wavy edge piece that Kent made and attached to the shelf.
(He is very meticulous, and the changes he made for me could easily be switched back to the way it was if I decided down the road to sell.)
And this is what the finished couch area will look like....  I'm loving it!!

Back to packing and minimizing! 
Thanks for stopping to read my blog. Have a blessed day!

  1. I also turned my dinette into a sofa when I had my class c but it didn't look as pretty as yours does, the composting toilet sounds like the way to go. black tanks are an evil thing to clean, at least grey water can be let out and used to water the desert or where ever you maybe. I'm so excited for you.
