"New" Vintage TT
Hi guys, just bought a 1968 Holiday Vacationer to restore. I have a Keystone Passport 2590BH for our normal family camping, but this is mine to play with and make my own. It is pretty rough ...

Attaboy, hard at it!
For that unprotected seam and for around windows and doors I used protect-a-wrap, a 6" wide self-sticking window wrap. It is waterproof and offers some protection to the frame in those areas. I also used small cut pieces under the marker lights, just made a small hole to lead the wires.
You should end up with a nice paint job if you're stripping all the siding. I just had a couple areas of bare metal but I primed all of the siding. I used Sherwin-Williams DTM Industrial Primer. It is a real good primer for aluminum. I chose to use conventional siding paint as I have a lot of experience with it and it is very durable. Of course, if you want something that ends up like a show car, a guy can use auto body paint but I couldn't justify the cost. I applied all of the body paint with a Graco airless sprayer and a fairly small tip. I'm real happy with the paint and get a lot of compliments.
Keep the pictures and commentary coming, we all like to see how it's done.
