Polishing the inside endcaps

Polishing these endcaps out of the coach is like trying to hit a moving target. I may get better resuts once they are reinstalled.

LED Brake Lights & Vintage BackUp Lights

These cool backup lights are from a 1960's Ford pickup parts supplier in California. (see inset) I like the way they look and they will hopefully prevent me from crashing while backing up!

Suicide Door Lock

The Door lock purchased from Vintage Trailer Supply of Vermont worked great for this vintage 50+ year old door. No more bungies or rope needed to keep the door shut while motoring.
