We too have an Alfa SeeYa 40'. It's a 2003 and we just love it. The best for livability and storage. Husband says it drives like a dream. I haven't driven it.

I love all your personal touches. I would like the combination dinette/chairs - cuz sometimes I like one, sometimes the other LOL - it's really great that you have done all these things to make it truly a one-of-a-kind that is your home on the road.

can see why Alfa SeeYa people love their rv's, they are nicely made. I love the
way you've decorated, and toad is great, I love those little swoops on it.

Loved what you did with your Alfa, it is so cool to see how all the gals change the insides because we all look the same on the outside!
I took a walk today and we have 9 Alfa Seeya's and 1 Founder in our park!!! I showed the photo's of yours to DH so he could see them.

Any chance you belong to the Roadrunners? Wonder if my DH has been talking to your DH on the Alfa forums, we'd sure like to hear about the Mexico trips.

Love your Alpha. I had been interested in an Alpha 5th wheel before I found Somewhere. Had to get realistic with the price. Anyway, I love the front door stained glass. I have been thinking of doing something like that to mine and was wondering how it travels, what with all the flexing of the rig. I checked out your website and it's great. Keep posting pix, we all love them.

the stained glass has traveled well - been there for three years now - and it surely got shook in Mexico and Baja. Only problem is (did not think first) driver can not see what is coming from right - so copilot has to be on the ball. Did not take out the original window - just afixed the stained glass right over it on the inside - so it is not exposed to the weather.

I just went back over those pictures - and have to say - I LOVE the bedspread/quilt you made with your pictures. How exactly did you get the pictures in there? We don't have a lot of wall space - and that's such a wonderful, creative way to get in your pics.

Hi Beth and Carold- its pretty easy - You can buy packages of ink-jet fabric sheets - usually 8 1/2 x 11 white fabric with paper backing. ( not transfers) can find it at JoAnns or fabric stores sometimes Wal*Mart. Choose your picture and print following the directions on the package. I usually use June Tailor brand but there are lots of others. Directions vary with brand. Sometimes you have to set your printer up other brands not. You can set size of finished picture - all the things you can do when printing photos. Then I choose my design and cut the background to complete it. Use the photo just like any quilt block. The hardest part was choosing the photos to use.

I love what you've done on the inside - so homey and you're a really talented lady. I have some projects I'd like to do, can I borrow your husband?

I LOVE the stained glass. Mine is frosted glass so you can't see out but its enough to glare when the sun hits it.
