An early birthday present from my sister, we found the elusive RV at a doll shop in Chapel Hill called The Swell, I just so happened to run across the doll shop on google after reading a forum that talked about doll shops. Knowing the area I lived in I wonder and hit the search engine and BAM not only was there a doll shop but in the place I spend a lot of time due to my Cancer. Now I have a happy place to visit when I go on my appointments.
We decided to give what we have termed the Party Bus/Surf Bus we would sup up the RV. At first we were going to paint it, but after research we will not, we are keeping the color but will be refreshing the stripes and changing the barbie decal with a surf themed logo. I will also be adding reflective red tape to replace the stickers of the break lights, the bumper will be painter or duct taped silver, some mesh for the grille on the front, possible working heading lights, plexiglass for the windows, silver trim accent, felt carpet for floor, dark paneling (aka contact paper) for walls and cabinets, vinyl seats covers for seating (aka duct tape), and many other enhancements. I may look on ebay for the few items that I am missing like the ladders or I will make them my self and the roof part. Although I want to cover the entire roof, the back part will be luggage storage and the front part seating.
