    Just a correction for you re the Singer 201 introduction date. The first production run was on July 8, 1934 of 1000 units. I have a machine from this time period. For some reason, Singer did not build any more 201s until May of 1935, with a build of 200 units. Production then resumed in December 1935 with 4000 units.

    Sir, may I offer you a suggestion with the "utmost respect"? You have a great little project going, and I've been a subscriber for awhile, but it's a bit difficult for me to stay engaged through the entirety of a video because the majority just seems to be "point and talk" behind a fast panning camera of what "you're planning to do", and then, "what you've already done." Respectfully, if I may suggest a "different angle" or "approach"? Try setting your camera up for "stationary" and "tight in shots" as you work, then edit each portion in 1-2 minute segments with voice overs explaining your process and why? A good example if I may would have been a closeup of you affixing the tin under the trailer, and assembling and clamping the lower wall together. Personally speaking, I come to channels like yours to catch ideas for the process, materials, tools etc. You have a neat little project going. Maybe try including "the process" of how you're getting there, instead of just the before and after. I honestly believe your viewership will increase significantly if you try to incorporate this into your videograghy if you're hoping to build your channel. Just my take, and I hope you don't mind my feedback. Regardless, still looking forward to seeing the end result. Best of luck going forward.

As for the refrigerator, if you have 2 others, why not sell it and put the 💸 back into the camper. Yes, I think I would like to watch you work on that wall. We would most likely gain a better appreciation for your hard work! As you know, I'm amazed by your seemingly endless talents regarding this project. Be well, my friend 😊

    Gee, were you surprised to find that much rot in the flooring? I'm amazed at how much you have done (undone actually) so far. You do have a job ahead of you, but I think it's your happy place 😊. Looking forward to the next update. BTW, are you self-taught in this sort of thing or are you a trained craftsman? I ask because I have great appreciation for people able to take this type of project. I'm the person that dials 1-800-help me for this stuff 😅. I know how to use a hammer and screwdriver and even a pipe wrench, but not my favorite thing to do. 😁

    I never went to collage but did finish hi school ,i went to a all trades school so auto mechanics , auto body , small engines , woodworking , welding , metal fab is what i focused on , figured im never going to be rich ,i better learn how to fix things , after hi school i started doing small jobs like body work , carpentry , welding but eventually just stuck to home renos and 30 years later i have many skills but not many dollars lol , people always tell me i charge to little , its one of my flaws i guess , as for the camper i just use my home building skills to guide me and i watch other channels as well , and ya i knew the rot was going to bad , wait till you see the front , plan is to rebuild the back and work forward on the roof ....anyways talk again soon....
