"Hey Mom, why does Dad always turn the radio up in the bathroom?"
Wow...full timing eh? All I can say is have fun. Sorry to hear about the polishing job. Me and Terry were looking forward to it. We were even going to provide refreshment. Looking forward to further pics and happenings. I hope to have pics and tales of bigeasys first outing around Sunday.
Good times....easy does it!

A baby gate may keep the dog (at least) in one part of the trailer, it's a very awakening experience when you are perched on the toilet at 3 am and suddenly you feel a cold wet nose investigating private portions of your anatomy. Ask how I know this.
Place the gate either across the divider between the bedroom and kitchen, or the bedroom and bathroom, depending on how much personal space you want.
In theory this would work, but our dog is about 105lbs. If she wants in, she's coming! There's nothing quite like a cold nose in the middle of the night to shock your sensiblilities, eh? Been there, done that!
Thanks Big Easy! It's more like, "Mom, why does Dad turn on the fan and radio every time he goes in the bathroom?" LOL
I have some interior pics of Goliath's makeover, yet can't seem to post em. Ill try again later.
To give Goliath some color I decided to use my ol' fav in cheap decor. Tablecloths! I bought two 9.99 tablecloths and cut them up. After confirmong Marie didn't want the curtains back, I sewed them on to her curtains. Voila! Color. Then I wandered through my home and robbed anything I though might look good! Unfortunatley, I am not as talented and BigEasy63 and had to just use a duvet over my gaucho. One day I'll recover it.... Oh yes, one day. The coolest thing about the curtains is that at night, the stripes show through and makes Goliath look even cooler, if that's possible! I am hoping to paint the interior walls but since we're living in it, I don't want to smell fumes! That'll have to wait....
Cool color!! I noticed the lights on each side of the gaucho are painted. Did you do that?...or 63overlander? I was thinking of doing that but I didnt want them to lose their transparency and block the light.
Again...cool colors...really like the shower curtain.

Rusty, I painted them. It is easy to remove the covers, they just clip on the fixtures. I removed the paper liner from inside, and stripped the (6 layers) old paint off, and spray-painted them Almond gloss, then reinstalled the covers. I then put ssome low-wattage floodlamps in place of the regular bulbs, so the bulbs didn't blind people looking at them. Instead, the light shines toward the ceiling, and lights more of the living area.

Thanks Marie! I was hoping you'd let me know what you thought!
Terry, I'm glad you answered that question because I had NO idea what Bigeasy was talking about!LOL!
I hope to recover the gaucho one day. The nice thing about the cover is I can just pull it off and wash it when the kids get it too dirty. I need some king sized pillow cases to wrap the armrests in!
Pics early and often are nice, Congrats, we have grown partial to the Overlander size and layout!
