Wheel house interior question

[bottom-bouncer]

this first pick is how I finished my interior I used tounge and groove cedar trimmed in pine I chose to stain the pine to give the house some character the bottom cedar boards are stained because I had slight issue withe can of stain falling of of the ladder when I was doing some touch-up work.

That is really nice!

I am glad you brought up the cedar with pine trim. I have been debating on that combination. I like how pine sands out for trim and I think it would take abuse a little bit better then cedar.

I am using tongue and groove cedar. I have already bought it prefinished.

Are you happy with the pine trim? I can't quite tell are the doors all pine?

Post some more pics if you have them.

My bottom bunk slides out on rails on each side to form a 4' wide bunk the matress is sewn together in the middle so that it will not spread apart when being used but will still fold up,

the frame work on the doors is pine and the center is cedar I didnt want to stain the outside edges of the doors so that it would contrast better with the stained wood behind the doors. I didnt sand anything I was trying to achieve a rustic feel to the inside.

the top bunk folds up out of the way when not in use it has a standard twin mattress on it.

House looks beautiful!

Fantastic! I never thought of doing that with the bottom bunk. Now if I just had a diamgram of how you guys do your 12 v wiring I could get started on mine. Been waiting 45 days for a friend to decide when he can get at mine and I am getting a little antsy.

Nice Job!

On our house we made the bottom bunk use the classic table/bunk setup that you see on many campers. Nice to have when you want to play cards.

That's a nice looking house. What color/kind of stain did you put on the pine?

I am thinking about using 12v flourescent lights in my house. I would use three down the center. Has anyone used them and how do you like them?

I have been wondering the same thing, 12v incandescent vs 12v fluorescent. My only worry would be the headache that comes with fluorescent lighting.

Anybody know what the difference in power draw would be between the two? Also, does the cold affect the 12v fluorescent lights like it does with 110 fluorescent lights?

I would go LED light strips bright light low draw even try one for night fishing in a alternate color RED/ORANGE I have seen a few new campers using this style lights and its the way to go a little price but worth it to have the low draw on your deep cycle

+1 on the LED youll never regret the decision and will last MUCH longer than any incandescent or or flourescent. plus those lights are fragile. something to think about when your bouncing the house "unintentionaly" and your lights dont work when you need em.

I'm all for led's. Problem I have seen is mixed reviews on which ones are any good.

Where has anyone got led's that they liked and held up.

Oh Mj my buddy just finished trimming out his home I will ask if he has any of the oak or pine left.
