I like the color! Not too far from what I'm doing on the inside. Camping season will be on you soon! Doug

Some white accents would really make it look retro... I like the color too!

I agree....white accents with a thin black pinstripe between the 2 would look great! You can get black pinstriping tape just about anywhere. We could have sister trailers, I'm just darker on the teal. Doug

I am planning to put trim accents along the bottom just haven't decided on the design and eventually I will skin the top in white. It's still a work in progress, we are hoping to camp in the meantime and do the addons as Funds and time provide ;)
Next is couple more coats then door and window installation 8)

There are a few of us here that live in the Colorado Springs/Denver area.

Can we expect you at the Last Gasp 2010 gathering this year? Details will be posted this summer in the gatherings section soon. For now you can take a look at the Last Gasp 2009 pictures in that thread.

I don't have it really designed yet. I need to wait till I get the siding on the trailer and the brake lines in the side will determine the design. It's just sort of in my head right now, but the idea will be a darker front bottom wrap with scallop type sides, and a nearly full width V in the rear. Logos above the front and rear windows. Doug
