14TH DAY IN INDIANA!!

We arrived here in Northern Indiana on the 27th of October for our appointment with Precision Paint for the X bracing of our coach chassis......we didn't expect to be here this long but we are indeed now here for 14 days!    Will today be the day we can depart for warmer southern climes???    We shall see.   We are now in Nappanee, IN at Solar Energy Systems waiting for an automatic generator start module to arrive by overnight post.  If that arrives today and is installed and works, then we may just be heading south some time later today.

We have had a lot of work done here in this area on the motorhome.....some of it necessary and some of it discretionary....like updating TV systems and installing a 1.2KW solar system.   Updating the TVs has involved some cabinetry work to match our existing cabinets.....these photos show some before during and after the work:

Old CRT TV and cabinet removed from over the dashboard area.




And here below left is the new cabinet that is now above the dashboard.

 

The long cabinet to the right, at the end of the kitchen counter area
is new and now allows access to storage in that area.

 
 

 

Here is that same cabinet area all torn up and getting ready for new shelving and the new access door



Lastly, here is the new cabinet work around the TV in the bedroom.   This cabinetry is designed to match what we already have and was done by one of the many Amish cabinet makers and craftsmen in the area.   It is also designed with struts so the LED TV lifts up, allowing storage behind.  

 

The Whirlpool Corporation has its headquarters nearby in Benton Harbor, Michigan....on the shores of Lake Michigan.   Here is a photo of the lighthouse at Whirlpool Beach..... 

We visited the beach a week ago in between some of the work being done on the motorhome.  If we were to visit again now, we would be "traipsing" through several inches of snow that fell just a few days ago.   The whole area is subject to lake effect snows.

 

 

And here is Ali exploring the beach at Benton Harbor.   She does enjoy her sniffing & exploring!!

 

Stay tuned for our next issue which will outline our newly installed solar system.......!!
