Stage 5 -- Window & A/C Installation

A year ago, a RV repair business was beside our Campfire Homes facility. They outgrew their location and had to move elsewhere in Lenoir. I was not comfortable doing myself because it involved cutting into the metal and welding and a mistake would be very difficult to repair. So, I contacted Chris with General RV Repair and asked them about putting the windows and a door latch in. They also had a used A/C unit that I had them install. The total for all three of these items was just under $1,750, including tax, labor, and shop supplies. Remember, I had already purchased the windows for $350.

The windows are sliders but also open completely for emergency exit. Note: The door latch they installed (removing the bar that would allow me to be locked into the camper) also has a deadbolt. It's pretty solid.

Now time to get my electrician friend to help me put in some lights, outlets, and get that A/C running.
