Living The Dream

Thought I would share with my fellow streamers my rear window cover I designed and installed on my 1993 Excella Classic. We get many honks and waives when we are traveling.

I thought about marketing them if I can get enough interest?

Thanks for the positive feedback. I am flattered by the request to purchase. I have a design patent pending and have contacted the print shop for the cost plus freight direct to your door. They can size it for any window including pickups. As soon as they give me my production cost I will provide the proper contact information. I have had the orriginal as you viewed on my rear window of my trailer for over three years and it still looks like new.

Living The Dream vinyl window graphic

I have established the price for the 20" X 40" perforated vinyl window graphic of "Living The Dream" as detailed above. The price includes shipping anywhere in the lower states. The cost is $120.00 and can be purchased through my PayPal account "LTD Corporation" at bharris5481@msn.com. It will take about 10 days to build and ship from my printing store.

I am a little green on this marketing process but want to make it is secure for you and I and PayPal seemed to be the best option.

Other sizes are available on request and pricing will vary to size. Just give me the width and height and I will e-mail you the cost.

It is easy to install. I opened my window and after a thorough cleaning applied water and the vinyl until I got it positioned and then squeegee out the excess water and trimmed the round corners to fit. It has never bubbled or faded in three years.

Does it provide any privacy? It looks like it's semi-opaque.

Living The Dream

It is one way from inside to outside with more privacy than blinds. You will love it. I just sold my first one this morning so get in line as I think the orders are going to start coming in fast. By using PayPal you can always return the product prior to installation if it does not meet your satisfaction but based on our experience for the last three years you will love it.

I posted this on our Little Girl thread, but I thought I should add it here too.

A break in the rain this evening allowed us to install our window graphic.

Inside view looking out.

There is a slight tint to the window while looking out, but it is almost 100% opaque looking from outside in. Even with lights on inside the bathroom, it’s impossible to see anything inside, even movement, unless the person inside places a hand right up against the window. Even then, all you can see is a blur of a hand. Not sure how opaque it will be at night, but we’ll have the blinds pulled at night anyway.

Installation was a lot easier than we thought it would be! We followed the instructions that came with the decal, and it took about 15 minutes from start to finish. It was a piece of cake to smooth and get all the bubbles out.

Many thanks to bruharNV for sharing his art design!

Living The Dream

Knew you would love it as we do. It looks great and as you found out very easy to install. Get ready for lots of praize from your fellow travelers as they honk and wave when they go by. Owning and traveling the country in our Airstream is living the American dream and we are proud to display it.

Thanks for taking the leap and trusting our product.

I've been looking for something like this but without the eagle or the statement.

Lots of time people with give me a 'thumbs up' or ask at a stoplight what year is it?

I want just a window screen with something like "Living the Dream 1978 31' Airstream Sovereign"

or maybe "Wanderlust 1978 31' Airstream Sovereign"

Over a photo of an airstream instead of an eagle.

Or maybe I want one that says "Hilary 2016" (wink)

If there's a Fast Signs in your area, you can get some clingy transparent signs made up to stick on your rear window. They'll even help you with the graphics, but if you can find something you like, you can take it to them and tell them, "Make me two of these" (their minimum order is two, so get two, and keep the second in reserve in case the first gets damaged).

I'm also looking for ideas for something to put on my rock-tamer mud flaps, I think I'll need to find a metalshop that does laser cutting. I want to put something like this on the flap instead of rock tamer.

Don't know if Hilary is living the dream or even knows what it is but the "Living The Dream" window graphic is patent pending and I would not want to alter it.

You can go to any printing shop and for a setup fee plus the actual window screen you could get anything you want.

I designed this window graphic because we love traveling in our Airstream across the country and feel like we are Living The American Dream and our Airstream is our icon of freedom.

We wish you luck and think you would be very satisfied with the "Living The Dream" window graphic.
