Default Cleaned up the hunting trailer

Cleaned up the hunting/camping trailer and got it back just the other day.
I was having some issues with poor storage mantinence from the previous owner Cracked fender wells, peeling decals, bad black streaks and poor/no waxing.

Took it to the shop and had them take a photograph of the old decals and digitize them into the same layout but in new colors ...Black, charcoal and silver.
Unfoutunatly fleetwood went belly up and there were no factory decals avalible and I needed exact replicas because of sunstaining. I also had them replace the front and side image decals with some that are better suited to myself ......way better than the corny cartoonish tiger ones.

Also a good couple acid washes and waxings and a good cleanup of the older black caulking were done.
Replaced the fenders myself with some I ordered online.

I think it turned out great!

Trailer is a 27 Foot 2004 Fleetwood Prowler Regal.

That doesn't sound cheap to do but it looks like a million bucks!

Nice job on that trailer Mike. Nothing like a bit of TLC to make those toys last longer and look good while doing so.


I once had some decals made up at 3M Trimline Graphics in Calgary. They were 'Syncro' decals to go on a Syncro VW Passat wagon I was having repainted. I went to the 3M shop because I felt the decals would be cut on higher quality material that would better retain adhesion, not fade, and probably have less cold weather cracking than decal stock from a lower quality manufacturer.
