Right on, Ron. I see that you got the color coded PEX. Very cool. Mine's all milky white...easy to confuse cold with hot. Had to do a lot of tugging and marking so as to not mix up the two.
Looking great. Good Luck!
Its been interesting reading everyone comments on their trailers; I removed the broken tambour doors in the kitchen and replaced them with sliding doors cut made from"glass" panels ( Cut from drop ceiling inserts) and they actually look very nice;plan to do likewise with the bedroom using the linen style wallboard that matches the original wall coverings. And guess what -it's snowing again-so time spent on the new toy has to wait again Will spring EVER come? Hope to see some of you on the road this summer-

Well our maiden voyage was a success! As you know, she isn't fully finished, basically she was an aluminum tent for us, but she worked out great. We figured a great way to fill the Airstream with water for future reference. See waterfall below. If you haven't been to Yosemite before, then go, it's the most beautiful place that I know of.
The bathroom ABS plastic was ugly as you'll see below. We used a 2-part Epoxy Paint from Home Depot to paint the ABS plastic after alot of sanding and prep work. The have two different packages, one is for porcelin and the other for plastic. We used the plastic, and did 3 coats with it, but it had a "flat" finish to it. Glossy would really look better, so I called the manufacturer, and they said I could use the Porcelin Epoxy paint over the Plastic Epoxy paint and it would have a nice Glossy finish. And it did. I definitly recommend it for your yellowed ABS plastic. Before and After photos below.

Hey Thanks for the response. It's really nice to see that things are coming together. The condition that we got it in was pretty bad, and it was hard to see any light at the end of the tunnel. Luckily we didn't have any rot or body damage to deal with. More updates coming next week!
Ron
