I'm happy that the dog is making her self at home in there. Nothing says "OURS" like a good ol' layer her dog fur covering it. Seriously though, she is not much of a car traveler and is even rather uncomfortable in other people's homes. I am really hoping that the motorhome will be just an extension of the house for her so that her travel anxiety is reduced.I will be adding specific blog topics on the tires, the headliner, the plastic ceiling/wall pieces, the blinds, the window seals, the curtains and anything else I have receipts and pictures for.
More to come!
We are looking to purchase a GMC. I know that whatever we chose, it is going to need some work. I hope you don't mind if I email questions from time to time!
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me what you used to repaint the plastic trim? I assume that regular spray paint won't last too long.

We used a Kyrlon product rated for plastics. We used two different types but both in the same color. One was a satin finish and one had a bit of a texture to it. The one with the texture was used for the front edge of the big front ceiling piece. It had cracked up at the front middle. We (my husband) did repair the crack before painting it. It did crack again and we will be devising another repair method and then repainting. I will post that project as I am guessing others are in the same condition.
