Photo Tour: Our 40 Foot Diesel RV After 4 Months

May 6, 2014 by BrittanyHighland 6 Comments

It’s so lovely to make any place into a home, and an RV is no different. Though Eric has owned a few homes over time, this is my first, so I’ve had a lot of fun “nesting” since we purchased Meriwether in January 2014.

First project: dinette cushions. They grossed me out, so I painted them.

Second project: cornice boxes. Though I didn’t know what they were called at first, I immediately knew they had to go.

Frankly, I had no clue where to start. I read a few articles online and the process sounded too complicated for me. I was extremely fortunate to [Read more…]

Upon purchase, we were quite pleased with the condition of our new-to-us 2004 Tiffin Phaeton. But there were a few things I couldn’t see myself living with. Most glaring among them: the dinette cushions. [Read more…]
