First, I want to thank all of you for the amazing sharing of information and guidance available on this forum. I just can't get enough! My wife and daughter tease me about how much time I spend here. My choice regarding this project was to make the best of it with minimal resources. I have put hundreds of hours into it (decided at beginning NOT to keep track) It is not a complete restoration, partly because previous owners had already done some work...some good, some not so good. I think you'll be able to see in the photos that it was in really good condition when I got it. My experience has been with restoring houses and old boats...camping trailers are so different! I am amazed at the simplicity of design and how some of them have survived for so long with so little care. Not sure how this Photobucket thing is going to work, but here goes: s1240.photobucket.com/user/ivebeeneverywhereman/library/1965%20FAN%20Sunseeker

Thanks! Just spent the last 2 days prepping and priming. Got first topcoat(little foam rollers) on one side, using the "controversial" new tractor and implement paint from Tractor Supply. Massy Ferguson red....wow it sure is RED. I can't find fault with the paint...easy to use and looks great. Going to be red where it was blue and white where it was white...then going to add black stripes playing off of the angle of wheel wells.
