Re: Peeling clear coat and faded paint on class A
jplante4 wrote: I repaired this area on the Sahara this summer. I used a plastic scraper to remove any loose clear coat, then a Magic Eraser to clean the paint. Lightly wet sanded the edges of the clear coat then shot it with 2 light coats of Nyallic. No, the color of the unprotected area doesn't match the color that was covered by the original clear coat, but at least the deterioration has been halted. Thank you! It looks great, but I can't see the color diff, since the "after" was shot much farther away. :) But, WOW!!!!! I looked at some youtube videos of this product demo and they looked incredible!!5.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Peeling clear coat and faded paint on class A

Thats not a terrible job either but easier if you can avoid it. Thank you!! The clear coat is peeled and the paint underneath is faded. What kind of paint did you use? And what clear coat?5.7KViews0likes0Comments1998 Holiday Rambler Endeavor 37WDS
Hi everyone! We saw this online and considering going to see it. I spoke to them and they said that the inside looks new but the paint on the outside is peeling in places. The back looks really bad in the photo...lots of clear coat peeled off and the paint is badly faded...no dings or dents, though. It has 154K miles and 1,498 hours on the genny. It has a W/D combo in it. What would be a good price to pay for something like this? Thanks for your help in advance!943Views0likes3CommentsRe: How to price a TT that has been lived in for 5 years?
LOL...Yes, I know about water damage from leaks. I know how to look for them on the ceiling, around skylights, inside cabinets, under sinks, around toilets, slides, testing the floors to see if there are any soft spots, pushing on the walls to see if they are soft, etc. I know about delam and can spot it right away. I know about the coin test for unseen delam, too. We were on the topic of damage from dogs, so my thoughts went immediately to dogs having accidents on the floor, which would cause water damage.595Views0likes0CommentsRe: How to price a TT that has been lived in for 5 years?

You can smell it and see it but most importantly is finding any water damage. It's not cheap but you can replace cushions and fabrics or ac units or refrigerators but you don't want to even think about water damage. Be happy if you buy used and the $1800 fridge dies vs your foot going through the floor Water damage from pet urine?595Views0likes0CommentsRe: How to price a TT that has been lived in for 5 years?

Lubrication of the axles, hubs and the like depend upon movement. Tires rot and many other items benefit from usage. This is a big enough purchase to get professional help. Should I get a mobile tech to check it out? If the axles need lubrication, how is it done? Is it something that my DH can do? Tires! That's a great point! Yes, pet odors, I can detect right away! Thanks to all, who have added to the discussion!595Views0likes0Comments
