I spray everything. I've seen some pretty good foam roller jobs, but most thin the heck out of the pain and put on many coats. The electric sprayer rates even lower than the roller, in my book.

For some reason, gnats are attracted to fresh paint. I always keep a sharp pair of tweezers to pluck them off between coats. If they land in the final coat, I leave them and knock them off after its dry. They usually only leave a tiny set of footprints.

If you own any Classic cars and insure them through Hagerty, you can purchase their premium roadside assistance for $150 per year that covers ALL household vehicles including trailers. Up to 150 miles per tow, with an unlimited number of tows. I had AAA, but this was less expensive, because I don't have to pay a seperate fee for my wife. www.hagerty.com/insurance/hagerty-plus-roadside-service-and-benefits

It might help a little, but I doubt it will do much to cool the trailer. I have a much larger evaporative cooler and it does feel cooler if it blowing right on you, but doesn't do much for the room. Filling with ice water helps. It probably wouldn't be great for humid climates.

I would feel better using epoxy for holes. That first photo looks like corrosion?

New 12v wiring installed at the top of the curbside storage compartment. AGM battery below. Master shutoff switch inside the trailer. The socket allows me to plug in a trickle charger or solar charger.

I'm just filling the most obvious dings. I straightened all that I could from the backside. I'm mostly concerned with by the entry door, that's where the most dings were and they are right where you see them.

I know that there have been some debates about body filler holding up on the thin aluminum bodies of our trailers. I bought some SEM Bumper Bite. It's is made for flexible plastic bumpers, but states that it can be used on aluminum. I'm thinking if it can handle the flexing of a plastic bumper that the trailer skin shouldn't be an issue. I applied some tonight, it spreads nice and is easy to sand. If it all cracks and falls off, I'll report back! www.semproducts.com/repair-fillers-glazes/bumper-bitetm-flexible-glaze

Aircraft paint remover is the best that I have used. Don't get in on your skin!

Yes it is. I've read about other using it successfully, so I've got my fingers crossed. I'm on the coast in N Cal, so the temperatures are pretty moderate.

Good move. I installed peel and stick in the cargo area and Traffic Master Allure plank flooring in the rest of the trailer. The Allure is fine, but the peel in stick is peeling up at the seams. Maybe just a crummy product that I purchased, others may be fine?

A little more progress on the inside.
