The RV

We put out a call to the many faire friends and others that we know for the renting or borrowing of an rv or trailer. We were surprised by getting several immediate offers. The one we took was for an rv approx 24 feet with a rear tent pop out much like those little pop up trailers. It's from 1976, so it's well loved, but everything more or less works. The problems being that it was well loved by mice and water. I patched up the leaky skylight, and my lovely wife and I took turns cleaning up the mouse presents. We steam cleaned and washed everything. I stripped the cushions from the cab-over where we are going to sleep, and soaked them in the tub with detergent and bleach. They are now nice and clean and 4 days later still wet. I took them to the laundromat and stuffed them into huge dryers and $10 later, still wet. The steam cleaner was able to suck moisture from them but I couldn't drag the wand over them, you had to stab it into the cushion and hold it there. This also has the added bonus of making both he inside and the outside wet. So now they are draped over radiators all over the house. My other half has been making new curtains to replace the worn ones that came with the camper, and seat covers to render the interior somewhat modern. Sitting in the camper after all the work feels pretty good, it's homey which of course is a good thing. We can't wait to move our stuff in and move out of the house. The house still has alot of detrius floating around, I think it might be easier to deal with if we aren't cohabitating with our junk.
