Good job!
Roll the skin the way it wants to go. Sometimes it curves opposite than you think it will. I had one that rolled right up and over. Odd.
Keep posting. This is going to help a lot of folks, especially those looking to buy.

Katie… look at the bright side. You're Mobile Scout is looking a lot better under the skin than mine did. <a href="http://s1281.photobucket.com/user/sligobeach2/media/Scout_364_zpsx6uam0zf.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a517/sligobeach2/Scout_364_zpsx6uam0zf.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo Scout_364_zpsx6uam0zf.jpg"/></a> <a href="http://s1281.photobucket.com/user/sligobeach2/media/Scout_379_zps8qjkl7xh.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a517/sligobeach2/Scout_379_zps8qjkl7xh.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo Scout_379_zps8qjkl7xh.jpg"/></a>

Good for you! Remember we are here to help and there is no such thing as a dumb question. It's not all that hard to do really. I have over 400 videos on how to do this stuff with minimal tools and effort. You might want to roll that top skin up into a much bigger roll than I usually do because it includes the rear skin. You will most likely find it seamed where you can split it at the top of the front window. I bet the rear seam is a Z fold. Just leave it together and check out my video on how to roll up the skin. Just make your roll a little larger and looser because of the nice paint. Also get something like thin packing foam or tyvec of something to roll up with it to help protect the paint. It can sit on it's side while you do the work. The entire thing can be done by one person with a little help in 17 days if you worked all day every day on it. I did that with a Forester. Video series on my website. Mobiltec- question about the tyvek- we still haven't rolled up the roof skins because we've been busy working on sides, but was planning on picking up tyvek for when we do. Both Lowe's and Home Depot sell it, but in a huge roll that costs around $100. No way we'd need that much to seal our trailer with, right? Do you usually buy it in this quantity?
