We took a week off work in early November, specifically to finish painting the exterior of the Revcon. We got all 5 RV windows removed at dusk, only to realize that southern Arizona would see the first measurable amount of rain in over 100 days. I had checked the weather several times the week prior and wasn't expecting this storm. It rained all night and into the next day. Humidity was sky high and it was cool out. Three days into our vacation, it cleared up enough in the afternoon and we taped off the cab to prep it for primer. Mike primed the cab clear into dusk.
We laid primer on the driver's side RV the following afternoon, followed by color on the cab that evening. The following afternoon, Mike applied color on the driver's side RV.
By this point, we were back to work, so got as much prep work and paint done in the evenings. Which are pretty short this time of year. So in true fashion, we got primer and color on the passenger's side...in the dark.
Now into December, we were able to get all the gaping holes plugged up. The Ford got brand new headlights. After our trek back from Portland with only one functional headlight, it was well worth the money. New tail lights, marker lights and a back up camera were also installed. All the trim got a fresh coat of black and the RV windows/frames were sanded and painted black as well.
Finally after installing interior walls (I'll go into that in a follow-up post) all 5 windows were installed. And it looks like progress was made.
