Kroes' 1959 Rear Door Scotty Rebuild
See also Page 1, Page 2, Page 3
Done - 1 year, 3 weeks and 3 days!
Covered the original water filler hole with a small vent
and the old electric port is covered with a copper peace sign - both
have aluminum flashing under them sealed with RV sealant
Everything that needs to go in the under bed storage fits in the access door!
New spare tire tongue mount and spare tire cover
My dad installed the new Bargman L-100 lock
Looks great - as does the new "porch"
Installed this 1958 version of the Serro logo found on Ebay - it's my favorite
Love how the door turned out
Close-up of the porch - sized to fit the door mat which is stainless steel screwed on
The interior - my sister and brother-in-law gave me the LL Bean rug
The flannel comforter cover with matching pillow cases. Used also
matching pillow cases for the curtains - they are great room darkeners for sleeping.
The birchbark basket is my Scotty wastebasket
Cribbage anyone?
My birchbark edged shelf. Lots of room to add more travel souvenirs.
Mostly bears, one wolf, one raccoon, one Mabel dog in a canoe, and one Scotty dog!
God Bless America!
Birch framed mirror
I love how cozy it is with the door closed!
Best of all - it passes inspection!
Adding a Wingard antenna - sanded the white pvc tube to remove the gloss
and spray painted it with Rustolem Hammered silver paint for plastic
The antenna installed. Also painted the wire port with the hammered paint
And, antenna in use
My little 9" Coby picked up 17 stations - woo hoo
Switching out sheets to put in the new Martha Stewart flannel Scotty dogs -
they look great with the vintage looking flannel comforter cover
Trim is DONE!
Opted for oak stained a contrasting color
Bed remade after adding another 1 1/2" of memory foam to the
original 4" of memory foam, plus the pillow decor
Mabel - ready to "Welcome" folks to her Rear Door
