Sam's Club Mattress

The original mattress is right on the wood. While you have the old mattress out, you could do something like seal the wood with a polyurethane finish and/or cover the wood with some sort of contact adhesive plastic, but what you do is your option.

Have you gotten up the nerve to install the door window yet?

So was I. I did it anyway. You can do it too.

Take the door off and support it on a couple of sawhorses. That will help greatly. To remove, take the door off the hinges, leaving the hinges and screen attached. Be careful and place some protective padding on the wheel well or you will end up scratching it like I did. At least I could get a little paint and touch it up. You get to benefit from my mistake, as you will be able to avoid doing likewise. Get some help when you remove and reinstall it.

When you put the window in, have the outside of the door facing down. Support the door and window from underneath. That will help when you go to start the screws. I found that a power drill/driver worked best for starting and driving the screws. When the thread catches, it will draw the two parts together and compress the rubber seal. That will make it watertight. The hardest paret for me was getting the screws started. I am just glad that lots of extras were included.
