How do you hang pictures on that nice shiny SE interior without damaging the surface?.
I am considering applying velcro patches but am worried that if I remove them later that the clearcoat might be damaged.
Has anyone here mounted any pictures in their Safari SE?.

John, not to worry, there is no clear-coat on the interior skins. Hang away!

I'll pipe in as an SE owner and fully agree with 2air'. The interior skin has the same gloss and feel as the clearcoated exterior. Everything I've heard and read is that it's the same skin used on the outside. I believe you'd get scratches from road vibration if you mount a hard object (eg, picture frame) that actually contacts the inner skin. If you're set on owning your Airstream until both of you are old and tired, you might as well drill a hole and come up with a mount you can pop rivet to the skin. I wouldn't be real impressed if looking at a used unit like that but other issues would be much more important.
Clay-like tacky stuff eventually leaves an oil residue on posters when I've used it. There's a 3M double-sided foam tape for posters that works too well or not at all. Never use solvents or abrasives anywhere on clearcoat. Try a bit of veggie oil on a fingertip if trying to remove something from clearcoat.
Yes, there is a thin anti-ox coating on the inside from the aluminum supplier but not "Clear Coat" as sprayed on the exterior skins once assembled. Sorry for the confusion!

I believe 2air' is correct as to the clearcoat on the exterior. As far as the exterior is concerned it is my impression that on all late model trailers the clearcoat comes with the raw material from Alcoa , there is no clearcoat aplied after assembly.
