It rained so hard today I was able to Bondo, seal & prime the trailer today.

The hatch with Bondo on it & testing the new hatch hardware.

First coat of paint on the hatch.

This side is ready for paint. You can't see it but he graphics are drawn on on the side.

My wife oiled the interior for me today. Note the difference between the door & the wall. That is from the same piece of wood.

This side is almost ready for paint. I forgot my filler pieces for the front & back of the frame.

My wife & I laid this out today. The lower blue stripe will be 9". All of the silver stripes will be 3/4". The white in the middle is about 4 1/2" in the front. The upper blue stripe is 3" I was able to center the "z" ove the axle.

If the weather holds I will paint side one in the morning.

Are you going to get the vinyl cut at a sign shop for the "Rainbassador" name? or are you doing it in something else? Doug

Not sure yet. I caleed a place & ther quoted me $40 for each side.

I noticed the the Ambassador is just plain block letters. I may try to see if I can find some silver vinyl letters & put them on one at a time.

It's gettin' there, Rainjer !!!! I guess I could say I'm glad the weather said "too windy" and the city wouldn't let me burn, so I got my roof vent framed and some blocking done, and shopped and got electrical needs!!

Let's go CAMPIN !!!! :campfire:
Some things are way over my head !! ...but it keeps me looking UP!
