So far, I'm ignoring it.
Right now we are so busy at work vacations are out of the question. I get home too burned out to do much of anything remotely hard
I'v listed it for sale & figured the next person could paint it how they like.
If it dont sell, I might coat it with Hurculiner.
Or even strip it down to the frame in a couple of years & make something like a Sunspot. I would make the sides 5' high for more head room.
I still want something like a Scamp.

Hey Eric,

Sorry to hear about your Shadow I own the same just a year newer then yours, but made from the same out of bussinss company.
But everyone at Little Guy are very easy to work with.

But you said you would like a Scamp here is a link to a company that's makes small trailers as well....

Just a thought...

That's weird! You have to walk through the bathroom to get into the camper of the Ponderosa when you have a rear bath? I don't think that would be a good thing for your shower stall floor (or for the person on the toilet when you go into the camper to let someone "see" it)!

Up date.
Started sanding it down using 220 grit. Will finish with 240 once all the silver coating comes off. It comes off real easy. It looks good on the show room floor but it's probably not the best stuff to use on a trailer in my oponion.
Not sure if I will paint it or not.
I did buy 2 spray cans of aluminum primer so I guess I should.

Love those itty bitty WeisCraft trailers, but the Little Joemodel looks more to the point.
The floor space in these trailers is just too small (9' X 5') for a bathroom; too much manipulation of the Ponderosa floor plan to include one creates a really awkward layout, although it might work great for one person.

Aluminum doesn't have to be painted. You can always take the cans of paint back or simply leave them on a shelf. After all, repainting might just bring more problems with it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

well, if your going to redo it, go with a vinyl wrap. they do up a nice custom design for you on the computer and it turns out beautiful and lasts a long time.
thats what monster trucks, race cars, service vehicles, and even cutom cars are going with now days. :thumbsup:

I'm not doing the whole trailer, only the back.
She is a work horse, not a show horse. I ride her hard & put her away wet.
