    Bowmans: Airdaddy here, would you mind sending over the web sight to the company you bought the Vestia View gaskets from. I have same issues with all of my windows. Also do you have anymore photos. I need to know if the paneling needs to be removed.

    LOL! My husband asked if he could paint nose art on Toto, and said he could always change to flames if we didn't like it!

    Good luck with the pinstriping. My hand and wrist ache just thinking about it!

    Hope you both had a good weekend and have a great week!

We sealed the shower walls with a PVC textured shower board from a box store and 100% silicone sealer. Here are a couple of shots before the hall wall went on:




We put a coat of polyurethane on the walls before mounting them, then put 2 more coats while in place. Here are...

We needed to finish some stuff inside before we could paint the interior walls.

It started with the fridge. The frame of the fridge had some rust spots so we wire brushed these down to metal and put black appliance paint on the frame and doors. We will put pine panels back into the doors while we do the cabinets.

We painted all of the trim and lettering on the camper, cleaned the trunk, made a new cover for the fiber-optic light thingy out of aluminum and used a wire brush on the tongue to clean up a little rusty area and re-painted that. I found out that taping of the lettering wasn't the way to go so everything that was painted was done freehand. The only things left on the outside are what we will do with the antena and polishing the gas tanks.
