Purchases!!

Oh boy, did I ever do some good spending last night! We bought 3 big purchases for the teardrop: an exhaust fan, chrome detailing tape, and windows. Can you smell the hole my credit card burned in my pocket? It was red-hot!

After some good searching - and recommendations from teardrop friends - we decided on a Fan-tastic Vent for the exhaust fan. We also heard "Don't buy from anyone except Scott at Adohen Supply Co". We took their advice and got a crazy deal on a 5000rbt model vent. We opted for white interior trim, a low profile base, and a clear, flat, dome cover.

This model has a thermostat so if we're camping and go off and leave the dog in the trailer we can be sure that the temperature won't move much from where we set it. This is a good thing when you have a heat-restricted pup!

And what a find on flexible chrome detailing! We were looking to trim out the wave on either side of the trailer with aluminum. Instead we found Flex Chrome in almost any size and shape you could ask for! Please please please check them out! We chose part #HR027C. I comes in 108in strips so we bought 4 of them.
Lastly, we bought these awesome windows from R.W. Johnson Teardrop Trailers. We were originally looking for safari windows off of a VW bus but realized that they would be too large to fit into our door. I did a search for crank-out windows and found these instead. Ideally, we would have loved for them to have an aluminum finish but apparently you can't find them anywhere anymore - I asked around. I think we'll take these babies apart and spray them silver. Jeremy is a window man - hopefully he can get them back together!

Aren't they just wonderful! "Crankout with screen. WIN". You really can't get any better than that :)
Woohoo!!!
