today my new "the tc life" decals arrived. the nose takes a beating and we do travel a lot, so the fact that a couple edges were starting to peel was no surprise. i also wanted to replace what was a 3" tall decal to a 5" tall decal. so i got it put on the camper. next month when i go to the adventurer /eagle cap factory i will be getting a brand new "adventurer" decal too.

Then you shouldn't worry, unless the person's vehicle hits you broadside or comes through one of your windows.

Fortunately, for pedestrians, having something like this on the front of your vehicle is illegal. It falls under the same regulations that keep manufacturers' from installing hood ornaments, like in the old days. But, companies like Rolls Royce, Mercedes Benz have retractable ornaments.

well so we ended up just going for the cork floor. Going on a trip here soon and wanted to get it done. Really easy and straight forward. Took just under two cases of cork flooring. I put it in cross wise instead of length wise to save on waste and cutting (figured small space it would be fine). Pine trim stained appropriately. Still need two pieces of trim for the dinette and need to nail in the trim but all in all it took about a full day. Looks nicer than the stock floor and feels warmer. Pictures in no particular order....

Mowed the grass around it so it didn't look quite as bad.

Got up to 10 inches of new snow this morning. Had to dig the Truck and Camper out of a total of 17 inches of snow. When the weather broke this afternoon I buffed the entire camper with Gel Gloss...wife thinks I'm nuts as the roads will be all snowy and wet when we leave for the Oregon Coast tomorrow evening. I think a little extra protection can't hurt.
