GPW,

Being an artist, you wrote your brushes off your taxes as a business expense. I think you need to paint a few landscapes of campground life..... for your new coleman series...yeah that's the ticket, and of course you have to immerse yourself in the surrounding to get the energy flowing.... you cant do that from a motel.... business expense justified.... :twisted:

Just saying...

If this famous 1998 Tracey Emin called "My Bed" is art then your trailer must be

You know , what is considered as Art today is very different than Art of the past that required skill , technique and a modicum of sensitivity ... :roll:

Totally wrong GPW, convincing someone to buy this sort of rubbish is the true art.

Hoping to do a bit of both. Or at least finish stripping the frame and getting some paint on it so I can start on the actual build.

How about yourself?
