It is really nice we are def going to take off the stripes we wre talking about it today and all the lettering etc. Hopefully we can have it done by spring and ready for the open road next year!

Well thanks again! I kept it without any pattern for a couple months to see if I liked it like that but it was to plain. The paint is simply exterior oil-base HIGH GLOSS enamel. I used a local manufacturer(Bennett Paint) here in Va because Ive had such good luck with this particular line of paint. I used a lot of blue tape mocking up designs before I decided on the wave. It fits the motorhome and our location here by the Chesapeake Bay and the ocean.

Well it certainly looks awesome thts for sure The stripes on ours are awful frankly and we will be removing them already took them off the front of the truck on the hood area and started to take them off the rest of the cab as well. Think we will do the same as you did and remove them all as well as the travelaire writing etc and see how it goes! What kind of paint did you use to paint the wave pattern!

Taking the '80s stripes off was a huge pain, they were baked on by the sun--well worth the effort though-- I only painted the new 'wave' pattern and waxed the rest of the coach and the cab. Keep me posted on what you do, and I'll do the same! Any questions feel free to ask!

THANKS! Ok Im still trying to figure this site out, hope Im doing this right.....I used sheet vinyl resilient fooring. Im in the floorcovering business so I knew this application would work fine, look great and be VERY durable. I used a pattern that looks like small 2" natural tiles. I did the rear Master bedroon in a slate tile. My family and I are loving this great old motorhome, yours and ours are almost twins
