More photos of the wood in the Tradewind:


Over Beds
The center section of the Tradewind has a bed on each side. Minimal darkening but not 'showroom new'.
Street side.
Delaminated arch
No, I am not missing part of my finger, the wood has delaminated. If you help someone by opening their windows PLEASE close them when it rains!
Bed Cab Delamination
Street side over the bed and some of the laminate is lost, some lose.
Bed Lights
At the head of each bed are reading lights. Sadly over watt lights have caused some plastic warp. I am thinking of installing 24 high power LEDs and a dimmer switch for these lights. Street side.
Bath Clo Door Inside
Inside of the bathroom closet door. Street side.
Latch
The latches seem original and all work (knock on wood).
Bathroom closet, street side.

So, the wood is fairly dark and I don't think it has been varnished but rather oil rubbed. Walnut? Best way to get it clean (and maybe just a bit lighter)?
