The most important thing is that YOU both like it. Your the one that will see it and sleep with it. I find myself staring at every little rivet in my Argosy, especially on those rainy days.
IMHO I like the red it is cool, however I know my wife would not allow me to do it. Like most things in these tubes both must agree.

Thanks Doug and Jan

Tostie, We used Conco exterior acrylic enamel.
The first coat of red is back on, the pink is going away. I had the store tint the primer as much as they could which ended up hot pink, good to make that go away as quick as possible.

Paint progress
Progressing on the red, a good improvement over the pink primer. Also finished stripping the upper cabinets and test mounted the ceiling lights that I got from vintage trailer supply. Also had a surprise inspection this morning from our niece Neana.

Lights on
Temporarily installed the power supply and tested the 12volt lights and fantastic fans. It was great to see some things come life!

We had those lights in our 69 tradewind and loved them. Nice solid construction, glass lense, meant to last a lifetime. Love those encaps too!! Great work!

Thanks Brad and Toastie
I brought the Cruiser down the road tonight to check the weight before anything goes back in.
The neighbors have lots handy things around their farm! I keep their heat and a/c running and they let me borrow stuff, it's a good deal.

Wow, cool scale! Is that for, say, weighing cattle on the way to market?

They weigh and document everything, the cattle going out, every load of crops coming off the fields, then they know which area of the field needs more fertilizer.
