The new Marmoleum floor and resurfaced doors bring this camper into the 21st century, but with a classic retro style.

Before: Dining Area

The dining area was non-existent. Justin and Anna had to rebuild the sofa/convertible bed.

The midcentury modern aesthetic is cool, but it is worn and not too functional.

After: Dinnette

For more dining and living space, the pullout table was replaced with an L-shaped bar. The wall TV can be viewed from the kitchen or living area.

A powder-coated red cooktop and convection oven match the new retro-style fridge and bar stools.
