I gotta say......that is one cool camper.

Now, I know it's been awhile since you asked the question about painting FRP, but I did something similar. My roof is FRP and I sprayed it with truck bed liner. I've never had to touch it up or reapply it.

Trip number 2. South Holston lake VA. I changed wheels and hubs before the trip and on the way home I lost the Riverside wheel. Upon inspection I realized that all the lug bolts were missing. I can only think that I did not tighten the bolts well enough. I justxant figure how all 5 worked loose without any change in the way it pulled. Thank god it did not hurt anyone and the repairs won't be so bad. I will bet you I check the wheel lugs before every trip from now on. Oh and I have pics that show that all lugs were in place prior to leaving the camp site.

I made some additions to the camper. Finally got running water to the sink . I got an on demand pump that runs through quick connects to the sink area and I also made a garden hose sprayer to hook to the quick connect. I also made a table to go over the tongue area. This will allow me to use the galley on the front when I don’t need the deck to haul an ATV . The whole galley will still plug into the back or the side of the camper like before. The mount for the table goes into a 2”inch receiver . That 2 inch receiver is also used for a mount that will allow me to haul a 14 foot Jon boat or kayaks ( forgot to take pictures of that). Once I get to where I am going that mount will then come off and plug into the 2” receiver on my truck to extent the tailgate to that I can hall the boats in the back of the truck. Other additions include 24 inch flat screen , DVD player, Marine stereo, airconditioner and another tool box on the front that houses the water tank and provides additional storage. I can’t wait to get out this spring and summer and try out the new additions.
