    I'm going to miss the nomadic fanatic signs but I think you're making the wise safer choice. And you can probably get a little more peace now and be safer at the same time.

    Eric, you need to remove the Coachman with the dog logo and replace it with JAXMAN and his image. Another great video!

  • @chipandpete
    @chipandpete 3 роки тому +61

    Easter egg 💡 idea - remove or paint over the dog, on your Coachman logos, and have jax drawn in there instead!

      I agree. Especially given the bad experience with Coachman you are having.

    Although it isn't an automotive paint, when applied to a smooth, clean surface, Behr should hold up quite nicely. Top of the line exterior house paints have come a long way in the past decade or so. I have been surprised at how well the latex / acrylic has held up on the exterior of my house. I painted it five years ago, and it looks like I did it last week.

    I just stripped all the Zep floor polish off my 36-foot fifth wheel. I use their floor stripper it works really good tedious but works good. After I rub all the fiberglass out with a buffer I will reseal it with Zep wet-look floor polish again it always looks so good.

    Looks great, but Id wait a month before waxing to give the paint a chance to fully cure since Im pretty sure that was a water based paint 🤙🏼

    A couple who live just down the street from us own two travel trailers (a 27 foot fifth wheeler and what may be the largest popup made) and a Class A very, very similar to yours, purchased used from a certain well known chain RV sales company you may know something about. The two trailers were purchased for short term (weekend and month longish stays in state and privately owned/chain campgrounds) and have presented their owners with no major problems while the Class A was purchased for long distance ( think cross country) touring and camping. The Class A has spent a LOT of time in three different RV repair shops, including two long stays in the dealers shop, due to failures related to the slide outs, generator related electrical problems, brakes, steps, mystery leaks, fuel feed problems, and a number of lesser but still often expensive problems that the dealership SHOULD have repaired and/or made our neighbors aware of prior to purchase. The third RV repair shop, in the Myrtle Beach, SC area apparently sorted out and repaired all the mechanical, electrical, and leak problems and our neighbors are planning a long trip in a few weeks. What made this video especially interesting to me was that you (ah the benefits of relative youth) decided to go the do it yourself route by changing up the color scheme of your RV at about the same time our neighbors had a local shop do almost the same change to their Class A.....And it it only took four young men five cloudless, warm days and a couple of grand to get the job done "right" at the shop they work for.

    I am thinking this RV will be sold within the next 6 months. The new paint scheme does look very good. If the exhaust leak does get fixed and the slide then it would be easier to sell the RV. Good luck on your future plans.

    I was so glad to find your video since most of the utubes i watched only showed the spray on method of repainting old faded graphics. I had planned to roll and probably tip the paint on my old faded fifth wheel graphics with rustoleum protective enamel...but I have only painted fiberglass boats that we previously owned, so I wasn't sure about RV graphics. Your video was just the encouragement that I needed. Will begin the process tomorrow.

    Eric the engine where the exhaust header connects is warped.
    Seems common for ford v10.
    Only real way to fix is to remove it and have machine shop resurface the head.
    A grinding wheel or sand paper might work. But more the likely you need a machine shop.
