Just finished preparing and sealing the exterior of the new Motorhome.
A five stage process which took me 29 hours over the past week should mean a lot less polishing in the coming months.

Yes 29! Sad isn't it?

Nothing fitted yet.
Booked in with Simon at LTS for the end of the month to get gaslow, solar and satellite sorted.
I have the dome and gaslow in my garage waiting.

I am interested to see what it will look like after some rain as I don't think there will be too many black streaks and if there are they should wipe off with a soft cloth.

Time will tell.

Not really. I'm sure you enjoyed every minute of polishing your new baby!

I'm just jealous!

That effort should stand well to you.

I suffer from ocd. Strangely it doesn't extend to vehicles. All are pig stys. I have to have my wardrobes sorted. My socks have to be arranged in a certain way. When I do electrical work the fixing screws have to be vertical, everything has to be about numbers, biscuits have a pattern in a box etc but in the van or car all can be chaos

:o WOW :o - Its awesome :o
Proud as punch - i'm sure :o ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

Not surprised 29 hours - but - what a result :up: :up: :up: :up: :up:

And i bet these pictures are a small amount of the total - every angle, pose, any video too? :D

Well done Mark - see walking down past it seeing your cheesy smile in reflection - Deserves a large pint of Guinness or 4 this evening just looking and smiling at the shiny RV :lol:

Now many people have you brought from the roadside just to look at it and your pride&joy :D

Luv It - "OCD - Shiny RVSyndrome" Abbreviation perhaps NICE :D :lol:

OCD is good. Personally I find horizontal more satisfying. :up:
