Wow, who knew there were so many tt campers out there! I'm really excited about your suggestions. I have a lesharo camper that I could borrow the fridge from (maybe parting it out) if I decide to make this more camper and less passenger. I like the Go Westy curtains, but am concerned with the adhesive just falling apart here in sunny FL. Any other ideas are welcome!!!
