Good point!  It is nice having the storage underneath.

[Cornice Board Upgrade]

nothing fancy like stain and polyurethane - just good ole exterior paint :).  I'm sure you could stain them if you wanted to.  The trim was nothing fancy either, just standard baseboard molding mount upside down.  The cornice 'box' was just 1x5 pine trimmed to meet the specs of the one being replaced. Since we were painting them, we did not go overboard on the wood selection.

Thanks!  It really gives the coach a different look.  We thought about just changing the fabric covering, but really happy we went this way.

I would say it depends on your policy and deductible.  Most cover front windshield but gets hazy on the coach ones.  I had a cracked window over our dinette after hurricane Irma, but my deductible is higher so it did not make sense to use insurance.  Hope this helped and happy / safe travels.

Nice rig(s)

Thanks.  The quality on the replacement booth was A+.  Made the install easier.  Electrical was a whole other ball game...

Very nice account of your return to the RV lifestyle.  I hope you keep writing, even after the "new" wears off the experience.

Thanks for the nice comment.  Yes, I will continue to update the blog as I am playing 'catch up' with our experiences.

Stop by the San Sebastian Winery in St Augustine.  Great tour and plenty to 'test'.  Lots to do in St Augustine as well.  We usually stay at the North Beach Campground right on A1A.  Close to everything and a great campground too!
