Go straight to the ones you have spent hours looking at on line and in brochures, then the "toys" you wish you wanted and finally take the slow walk the rest of the way to the gates! And remember, any RV or any show is like the journey you are now on! Go OOR and meet that rep from the home you want. It could be the side trip of them all. Blue Sky's and Safe Journeys

How did I miss this one? It's totally different with the music and composition of the video. I would have remembered this one. Very nicely done guys.

Furthermore, how do you suppose a repainting on the camper's roof would be handled so that it appears looking nice to the naked eye, and serves as a purpose to seal out, and protect the roofs' surface from the previously mentioned non-summer (usually wet) spring seasons? All and any suggestions are appreciated. A method for using a product known as "gorilla grip" and applying it according to manufacturers directions is mentioned in a YouTube video. Thank you once again for your video and demo

Marvin Rose commented on 07 Apr 2013

Thank you for the video. I am remodeling an older motor home and was just planning to update the color of the green striping but you make it look pretty easy to do the whole thing. How is it holding up to the weather and washing? Did you sand or prime or clear coat any of it? I used Rustoleum auto primer and dark bronze colored spray paint to update my bright brass living room lamps and they have held up great but they don't get any weather.

MYFREECAMPER commented on 18 Jul 2012

I painted a work VAN with 37 cans of no name on sale 50. cent cans. So I had a much better looking van for about 4 hours work and around 30 bucks. Check out my camper redo on my channel that I painted for 12 bucks with a quart or so of Rosyo. thinned almost in half with a foam roller. it lays down FLAT off gassed bubbles and then is a shinny glossy beautiful paint job......looks like it was sprayed ! Nice job good looking camper !!!

stepsidechevy1963 commented on 18 Aug 2013

Like your video and though I'ld ask your opinion. I'm planning on painting an older camper black. It's going to be on a deer lease so I'm not concerned with making a masterpiece. I have painted mobile homes before for a construction trailer park. My question is do you think a gloss black will create a heat issue. I'm in Georgia - summers here can be brutal. A penny for your thoughts. Thanks

Turbo Kevin commented on 07 Feb 2012

Still have some to finish in the interior.. The camper is under wraps for the winter. I do have a blog that has followed the rebuild.. and even though it hasn't been updated since September there are some shots with the exterior done. In your web browser, leave the H T T P slash slash there but delete the w w w and then type airflyte (dot) blogspot (dot) c o m

MUHEARS commented on 08 Feb 2013

A++ job. As is standard these days, there are a lot of people who are quick to jump up and insist about what CANNOT or SHOULDN'T be done, strictly on the basis of their own stupid internal narrative of how things SHOULD be done. Creative solutions often yield shockingly nice results, that cause the 'experts' to look like goofs. Well done.

Turbo Kevin commented on 08 Jun 2012

It's a year later and the camper still looks great.. Any paint will collect dust if its in a dusty environment I guess..My camper didn't / doesn't 'collect dust', it still shines. This was never meant to be a 'best way' to paint a vintage camper, just an inexpensive alternative that looks much better than doing nothing :)

Theecouponcat commented on 28 May 2015

Maybe they have this paint in purple? Would be a hell of a lot faster than hand painting the window shelter on the Shasta were bringing home. The guy were put it over window the air conditioner is on, I want to keep it on but that puke green has to go lol. I think it was added after he paunted@Brittany Mae, thanks!

travis johnson commented on 06 Jun 2013

Great demo, how does the rattle can job hold up against the weather we have in the non-summer seasons of the Pacific northwest? Is a seal or special finish coat a necessity to prevent unnecessary repainting if u will? Thank you for your time

RJ - Kelly Ritchie commented on 22 Jun 2015

Thanks! Just found a 1965 aristocrat land commander and we are painting this weekend. So glad we found your video. The screws to fill holes is a great idea. Just want to have fun and look nice not perfect.

Alana Waters-Piper commented on 02 Feb 2012

Hi Kevin, You mentioned that your finger gets tired. Do you know about those triggers you can snap onto spray cans? Only a few bucks and makes it much easier on the hands. Love the tutorial! Thank you. -Alana

Tayler Chykerda commented on 31 May 2013

Looks great! I am going to give this a try on my vintage camper. Looks pretty much exactly the same...close to same size. How many cans did you need?? Thanks for the vid!

RMEWife21B commented on 29 Apr 2013

Thank you for this video! We just got a 1988 pop up camper that i just wanted to give a little TLC/ personal touch...and was looking for an affordable DIY option.

Ginny Morgan commented on 17 Aug 2015

Definitely am going to do this on our TT have done some areas and wasn't sure how it would turn out. Have to do it on a non-windy day in my driveway.

19stoney64 commented on 25 May 2012

Looks great! I would love to restore one of those myself. I would really enjoy doing that. I love woodworking too so inside would be fun to design.

Alex Berrios commented on 03 Aug 2015

great job Kevin, your video has inspired me to go ahead and paint my 72 vintage camper, and save some bucks, thanks again from South Carolina..

ssforcey commented on 22 Mar 2013

Hey there, how is this holding up so far? How is it holding up to washing and spefically washing with a bristle brush? Thank you for the video.

Max1Chase1 commented on 15 Feb 2012

Looks pretty good, We are using the roller method with rustoelum and mineral spirits, and you may want to try that for heaviers coating areas.

Joseph Gadow commented on 29 Dec 2012

Try the black spray handle they also sell at Wall-Mart. It helps to keep your fingers from getting tired. JoeCamoCrome/[email protected]

cupcakes99 commented on 21 Aug 2013

I was thinking the same thing. Painting mine black too. What about sealant? And if you could do this to about any type of RV? Thank you

smokenbudesq commented on 08 Jun 2012

rust oleum colects dust ,and can only use rustoleum to repaint or you get a major reactions with other paint products when doing so

Nancy theapt.planter commented on 15 Aug 2013

they sell handles that feel like a gun in your hands that fit over the spray spout ...they work great ...no tired fingers.

minus148 commented on 02 Mar 2013

this is great,,I have a 73 Winnebago brave I would like to paint..Would this same method work? I am on a budget..thanks

Max1Chase1 commented on 04 Oct 2013

Looks great, I did the 2" foam roller technique with Rustoelum in the Quart can, check my channel and see my results.

TheCaddy84 commented on 10 Jun 2012

rattle bombs work for so many things and make for some real nice work. As you can see. Nice straight forward vid.

Gemma Moraleda commented on 22 Dec 2012

Pros: You make a cheap, effective, easy paint job that will last. Cons: "your finger does get tired"

Pawoodsman commented on 08 Jun 2012

Looks good that's the way I am repainting my starcraft popup camper , not wanting a showroom piece

jonnyblaze777 commented on 24 Jul 2015

always smarter to use a paint mask even a cheap one keeps the paint out of the nose.

American Honey commented on 31 May 2013

I wonder how Valspar compares...they have a larger selection of colors or so it seems.

susan g commented on 14 Sep 2013

looks great ... i think i might try this ... unless anybody wants to do it for me!!!

Wayne Schram commented on 14 Mar 2015

Something I was told, not sure if it makes a difference or not. Connect the negative from the trailer to the negative on one battery and the positive from the trailer to the positive on the other battery to get even distribution of voltage. I see this was not done in this case.

Anthony DiSano commented on 23 Jul 2015

+Wayne Schram That's absolutely true and should be done. It's not the end of the world if it isn't but it will allow for more even charging/discharging.
