Front
right view with new side all fastened down.
Back
Left side of camper. Just about ready to paint.
Needs back end buttoned up.Needs to be
sanded and trim taped off.
And here I had a little ♥Heart♥
problem. This but
a threemonth delay in my
project. So since I could not do
muchwhile recovering,
I started working on the windows. Andinstead of
painting the Scotty with out the windows as
Ihad originally
planned, I installed the windows beforepainting.
Installing the windows was a lowheart-strain
activity.
Cleaning up the
window trim.
ReadyStrip got
off the paint, SOS shined the metal.
Window trim
installed. I painted around the
windowopening before
installing the trim to make it easierto paint around
the window.... but Lynn did notlike the color,
so I'm back to doing it the normal way.
Window with new
glass and new rubber glazing.
The
smaller windows needed a less elaborate
bushingreplacement.
Just a 1/4" diameter plastic bushingcut down to fit
the channel worked great.
Outside metal all
shined and ready to paint.
Windows installed
with new Stainless Steel Screws.
Taping off the
Scotty getting ready to paint it.Kitty is
inspecting the roof to make sure there
areno leaks.
Painting the
Scotty Aqua Color. Trailer dolly is
usedto move camper in
and out of the garage, it savesa lot of time,
and camper is easily moved with it.
Second coat of
Aqua color painted. That isnot the bottom of
the flag on the wheel, it's justan old stripped
towel which "looks" like the flag.
