Wow this is great - I have 12 on my list from as far away as Vermont. Thats cool.

Joe - lucky for me my trailers have been so old that I didn't need to strip. However a lot of folks use a stripper called Klean strip - which can do major damage to you and the enviroment if your not careful and I know others use one called Napier which doesn't work as well, but it won't kill you. Do a search for stripper and your get lots of ideas. I use a dewalt polisher which was the tool of choice when we all first got into this Airstream stuff back in the 90's - now I know lots of folks use a drill such as Jerry is suggesting and a cylo polisher - at some point I'm going to invest in a cylo - if anyone has a cylo, they should bring it. I think its safe to say that most of us use Nuvite polishes - at least for the polish jobs I've seen that I'm most impressed with - course ask 5 folks about polishing and you will get 5 different opinions. And yes you will need lots of rags.

But, lets see what projects we get into and will make of list of supplies that we want to make sure we bring.

Butch - Thats so great you are going to make it - and you are planning to bring your "new" Argosy - can't wait to check it out.
