New tow vehicle. Too good a deal to pass up. Her name is Dutch, because her color is New Holland Blue.

At the risk of turning this in to a tire thread,
I got new tires for my ‘77 Safari to replace the dry rotted Michelin’s.
These are Motomaster APL tires, Canadian Tire’s house brand made by Cooper.
These are 15” LT tires and should work well for my small Airstream, I’ll report back after our next trip.

Just got...
...300ft of 3M reflective vinyl marine tape, 1/2" & 1" wide. 150ft each.
Just had to try two sections to see what it will look like.
BIG improvement.👍
Matches the AS blue pretty well.😂
The chrome stuff I replaced 3 yrs ago...👎

Totally dig the blue, Bob! I wanted black but he factory said no one makes it for a 2012. Yours looks like mine - I imagine the same size - and I'm guessing they make black too! I'm not a fan of the fake chrome that flakes off in a year.....

Yes it will require a pic indeed!
Bob - this link to ordering the 1/2" strip shows rolls that look like it's just a thin strip and not the thick belt line material that fills the channel. Am I seeing that wrong?

Yes SSM you are seeing it right. This is vinyl graphics tape you apply it right over the faded 'chrome' molding.
Peel & stick. You can order custom widths.
It comes in 150ft rolls. I've got about 1/3 of each left over for our 25' classic. Total incl tax & shipping $143.25.
Pic's tomorrow...😎

Aha! Got it! If that works well, that could be a VERY cost-effective way to extend the life of the inserts!
Can't wait to see the pics - hopefully in daylight and reflective at night! [emoji3][emoji106]

The Sun came up this morning...😂
Please note...this was a two person job. The only seams we had is where the extrusions ended...some long runs, it was a bit frustrating at times and would have been impossible without my DW's help. 👍
Doable alone with barely noticeable seams...but that's not how we,(she) roll. 😏
