A Small Bit of Refurbishing the Rig


The decals on the front of our rig were cracking and fading and starting to peel off.  Jim started to scrap them off but could only get so far.  They seemed to be baked into the finish of the RV.  We called a company out to look over the work and give us a quote to get the decals off and put a new clear coating on the front.  They came and washed the whole rig, got the rest of the decals off, got the oxidation off and then put on several coats of Poliglow (a clear coat product kind of like varnish).  Now the front end looks like it came that way from the factory.  You would never know a decal had been on the front.    It actually didn't cost that much to have it done by someone.  That is the great thing about being in Yuma.  Labor is very cheap and they really cater to the RV crowd.  So if you need things done to your rig this is the place to get it done.

It is interesting working at an RV parts store.  People are coming in now to get RV antifreeze.  They are using it to summarize their RV's that they store down here.  Or they need it because they are going back up to cold country and going back to below freezing temps, especially in parts of Canada.  Antifreeze can be used for both heat or cold, the main thing is that it doesn't evaporate so it will stay in the toilet and p-traps and keep any water leftover in low spots from freezing (where its too cold) or seals from drying out ( where its too hot).
