Great truck jkc. I'd be curious about shasta's lower front area, right behind the propane bottles. Might want to lift the skin a bit or do some poking with an ice pick. Looks like a fun project, especially if you can get wife to the painting

The location in the front looks good.... The trailer has new flooring from the frame up. Inside the trailer it has new hardwood flooring. The dinning are has been redone inside with vinyl beadboard. All looks good.
I need ideas where to take it to get the exterior painted..

Painting aluminum is different. You might want to take a look at the paint section of this site before you do anything. Learn what you can about paint prep for aluminum so you don't end up with some of the unique problems that come with aluminum painting. When looking for a painter you need to make sure they understand these things.

Looks like a fun project, especially if you can get wife to the painting Welcome jkc! Nice truck and trailer. I tend to agree that a little inspection now may prevent surprises in the future. If all the repairs were done from the inside, it's likely the skirt boards were not addressed. I'm seeing a bit of sag in the front, that could need repair as well. Has the J rail been re-puttied? Just a head's up that these trailers take a lot more than decorating. Do some reading here and you will get many experiences on our projects, from very good (lucky) to very, very bad.

jkc, didn't want to cause alarm, but mine also had the 'front-end-sag' which was easily confirmed by undoing j rail screws and a couple dozen staples holding the front skin down. Only had to go up a few feet with both. My j rail putty had failed, and moisture had also got up between the hitch part of the frame and the front skin. I think your rigs interior looks primo... don't know if these pics are before or after, but I'm envious. Guess my alarm bell went off with the vinyl bead board. Anyway, welcome to the gang. These have pulled my *** from the fire more times than I can count.
