My Trailer is Getting a New and Fresh Look

I have been busy sanding the trailer in order to paint it. The green and some of the white was flaking off and of course that was bugging me. I am keeping the color scheme and adding just a touch of red.
The red will be about a half an inch stripe just above the lighter green going around the trailer. On the door around the window where the white plastic has turned yellow will be red also. I love red! The interior cushions and other do-dads are red.
I did want to paint the stripes to match my truck, but decided to keep the trailer's stock color scheme with a touch of red.
I need to figure out how to redo the front awning. It is fiberglass, has a hole in it and is very ugly. Not quite sure what I want to do with it. Still thinking about it.
After the painting is all done my brother is going to come and fix the running lights so that I can travel at night. The brake lights work, but not the lights for night driving. Once he is done with that and if I still do not have a job, I am going to take my son, a dog and a bird and go hang out in Southern Utah. Mooch a few dinners off of my parents;-) do some hiking, art, writing and what have you. When it gets too cold I will store the trailer somewhere down there. That way I can go camping during the winter when I wish and there is less snow to mess up the trailer.
Well, when the trailer is finished being painted I will post some photos of our beautiful home on wheels.
Have a fun and creative day!
