What did you do to your Class A MH today???

I went out for my monthly exercise of the engine, trans and generator. Found that I had a roof leak. Went back in the house and cracked open a beer. Plotting next steps...

Didn't mean any disrespect I was just say I would rather have any work on my rig done here in the U.S sorry if I offended you.

The written word is a funny thing. I have re-read my post over and over again and cannot figure out how what I said made you think I thought you meant any form of disrespect. I understood what you said and I said I just hadn't been able to find an affordable option.
Sorry for any misunderstanding.

What did I do today? Winterized. Just back form a 1950 mile trip and the weather says it will be COLD, so did the deed.

I would like to do that as well but I cannot find an affordable US option.

Can you tell me the details about paint work in Mexico. I got burned by a US painter and need a full repaint on my 1988 Prevost. Any info would be appreciated. I can't go back over the last 550 pages to find one of your previous posts!

There are many skilled boat/auto/motorhome painters and bodyworkers in Mexico, the hard part is finding them! Most are very good, some are superb. Doing what you are doing is the safest way to find one; Ask someone who has had experience.

We are in Zihuatanejo, in southern Mexico and have been lucky. Last year I arrived to see a neigbours trailer having a crushed fiberglass panel being repaired. I was impressed so I asked him for a quote for some touch-ups on my rig. I was impressed with both the work and the price.

Margarito did excellent work, matching the paint IN MID PANEL so you couldn't see the start/stop line

We area long way south though. I know of an Excellent shop in Mazatlan, one Juan Salazar Jr who is not only a highly skilled body and paint man but a real artist.

Also sent you PM

I rather keep my rig in the U.S there our a lot better fabricators and painters and raps that can be done here plus I keep the money here in the U.S. as well.

They finished the power buffing and waxing, removing the very bad oil stains on the rear cap from a diesel leak. The gel coat on the rear cap looks like new!

Also buffed out old stained gelcoat on the sides. Painter says this will be the last time it can be buffed. Next time, new paint--the gel coat is getting thin! He's going to give me a quote for next year

And they finished the cracked and scraped fibre glass on the lower part of the rear cap and repainted.

6500 Pesos. Under $450.00 Canadian.

Looks not bad for a 2002 with over 100,000 miles.

Photos in a day or two.

Tinted the driver and passenger upper side windows.

I would never of thought to do this until I heard a report on the news last week that UV Rays are only stopped by the front windshield not the side windows. Lot's of truckers and RVers have been getting skin cancer on the left side of there faces. IMHO you made a great choice!
