I should preface this entry with this fact: Heidi and I are buying the previously pictured 1968 Travco to live in for the next year. Needless to say, being the gearhead that I am, owning a home with an old Dodge V8 bolted under it carries my soul to indescribable heights. Surprisingly, this entire idea was Heidi's, at least this time around; we've talked about it in spurts over the last several months, looked at zillions of pictures of tiny houses, and talked to friends living in similarly sized situations. I've loved the Travco since I first saw them online and was ecstatic to see one in person, and even more ecstatic to be able to own/work on one.
Our Travco is in pretty great shape mechanically, with a working generator and A/C (thank God), but the interior was begging for some attention. So far, I have replaced the ceiling panels with white hardboard, and today replaced the poorly laid laminate flooring with some engineered hardwood flooring we found at the Habitat for Humanity resale store in Denton. I am extremely happy with the way the floor looks, excepting the original carpet in the driver's area. We are trying to figure out exactly what the carpet reminds us of. Maybe giraffe hide, or dinosaur scales? It's terrible. That'll be tomorrow's project. Anything to avoid the mountain of work waiting in the bathroom.
