Re: About painting a 5th wheel
So try some peel off paint. The kids are using some type of paint for a temporary look but it does last, if you scuff it just repaint. Hit youtube for the ideas. No one says you have to paint ALL of the rv, Paint some of the bottom and if it doesn't look right peel it off. For Application of paint it says give it a good wash job and go for it. I am sure there is more to it, but you are the one to see if money spent would be worth it. My ram truck is all white and I was thinking to give it a stripe or slash and it seems a great way to try something new. The 5th wheel is a 93 and the older off white paint and I was thinking give a few swirls either with sticker graphics or peelable paint. Find out what's out there. You could do it yourself. Might be fun. Marty971Views0likes0CommentsRe: Great older fifth wheels
we have had our wilderness 5th since new in 1993. bought it when both kids in mid teens?have done regular maintenance, like everyone appliances repaired,brakes, tires. when we first bought it the dometic fridge had problem with staying lit. Internet in its infancy, but studied for solution. Bought dinosaur board. Now you can get them anywhere,then you had to order it from Oregon, mail order. Today {still in business} still solves problem with dometic fridges.My fridge {original} to 1993 with dino board in it,died last year {2018}. Board still works fridge gave it up.I will probably run into someone that hopefully can use it to solve their problem with fridge. Didn't help when we were T boned in the trailer in Alabama by a car. I saw it in my rear view mirror, sitting in my truck, and saw it bounce up and leave a wheel mark 24 inches up from the ground. I thought oh man this cant be good. This a wood constructed trailer and thought there is going to be a big hole. And there wasnt just the wheel mark and no wood damaged or wall flimsy when pushed on. So I too think trailers were definitely built better 25 years ago. Marty732Views0likes0Comments
