Short day today due to afternoon obligations, but the bottom is all sanded and painted, the last LED lights wired in, the wheel wells are undercoated, and the new tires on the freshly coated wheels are on. Hopefully tomorrow I can start putting up the awning plates and get the awnings on. 🤞...
Got the white all taped up and plastic wrapped today. It was still wet when I took this picture, but the roof is now bedlined. My wife jumped up and taped off the AC unit for me. Should have zero issues in the future with the roof. Also taped up the entire lower areas and I will be sanding...
Spent the day getting the steps mounted, as well as the rear tail lights, and a small wiring repair. I have a NOS wiring harness for this trailer already, but this one is still perfectly fine, so I'd rather use up as much of its life as possible before swapping in the new one. I've also gotten...
I think once you get that trailer leveled out you may have less tongue weight than you do now, and thus less squat. I'd get that fixed first and see how you like it. It's definitely not looking overly squatted, and getting the tongue weight distribution right will help that even more. Great...
While the paint was drying yesterday on my trailer.... https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/family-adventure-m1102-trailer-build.235492/page-8#post-3216330
....I was actually able to throw on the rear shocks after having them for 4 months. 🤣
I hope to get the fronts on by mid May. LOL
I...
Getting the new Truck-Lite LED's on, as well as NOS light tubs, and NOS reflectors. I drilled out the rivet holes to add riv-nuts, and I'm using stainless button head screws for everything to make it easily serviceable. Then started adding back the original front step, and the side table before...
I used a heavy duty industrial marine paint from UC Coatings. Ended up with 1.5 gallons on the trailer in total. I used standard thinner and duplicolor wax and grease remover for everything else.

Tape peeled all except the roof. I'll peel that once fully dry. Just too many possibilities for messing up while semi wet. Can't wait to do all the black underneath and the 3M rubberized under coating on the inner wheel wells. Will finish this off proper. Especially with the right wheels swapped...
Started the day putting plastic over everything and waited till noon when the humidity hit 63%. Took 2 hours, 4 VERY light coats, and two heavy. She's white now, and that epoxy seems to be sticking VERY well. I'll peel the tape in a few hrs. Maybe 5 or 6 tonight.
