UPDATES TO OUR 2007 ALLEGRO BUS BEFORE LEAVING RED BAY, AL

September 10, 2014

In the last few months before we left Red Bay we had some upgrades down to our 2007 Allegro Bus and some maintenance items done. Below is a list with photos. I am so excited. We love our Bus and what it needs we can have done. I would not at this point buy a new one. I can always upgrade.

1.    First was Art’s desk. He has wanted a new desk configured to what works for him as far as height and storage. It also had to be easy to remove in case any work needed to be done inside the motor home. The driver side window (other than the windshield) is the easiest access point for bringing in large items that will not go in or out the door.

2.    Second were the installation of the LED under the counter lights and the removal of the fluorescent tube light. We also installed one additional light on the other end of the counter

3.   Installing a pullout shelf under the kitchen counter, so I did not have to crawl under to find whatever had disappeared into the black hole. This work was done by:

Extremely popular. Books up quickly, does not answer his phone on weekends or evenings. You needed to book well in advance of arriving in Red Bay. Best to text him. He does all types of woodworking and custom design. Has his own shop about 12 miles outside of Red Bay.

DESK PHOTO BEFORE.

  This is the original desk that came with the coach. It just was not at a proper height that worked for Art. he could not get his knees under the desk. His back was not in a good position and storage was a problem. 

DESK DURING CONSTRUCTION

Art worked with Chris Berry to design a desk that was in 3 pieces. A printer stand and storage drawer. It also had a drawer for storage of small desk items. A bookcase and then the actual desk with full extension file drawers. All three pieces have removable tops.

DESK: FINAL FINISH

Wood is done in the same Natural Cherry as our coach. We elected not to go with stone tops for two reason. Cost and weight. Also, removing tops without cracking has not been successful in many cases. The drawers have 10# catches on them and the file drawers also have locks on them to prevent them from coming open during transit.

LED LIGHTS ADDED TO BOTH ENDS OF CABINETS

4.  Next was Tile Floor in Bed Room. We finally had the old carpet removed in the bedroom and extended the tile floor into the bedroom. We had wanted to do this and decided this was the time. Never know when the old tile and diamonds would not be available. The previous owner had left us some tile but not enough and we also need the diamonds. This work was done by:

His shop is actually in Vina, Al but his mailing address has a Red Bay address. Vina is about 8 miles from the service center. He also has hookups for several rigs. I haven't been able to locate my pictures at this time.
