Having our coach painted starting Sunday. Will be involved in every step of the process. This is just an exciting part of the conversion process. Almost there. Two more weeks and we hit the road. Will post pics of the painting progress here.

Dual pane Hehr most likely. Been sanding my head off. Just went to bed at 1:30 am and will be at it at 6 am tomorrow. Painter flys in on Sunday. In a wedding on Saturday. Yikes.

I used dual pane milgard. Make sure you specify tempered glass. It doesn't shard if you have a break.

Is that a big hole I see in the rear cap?

One of the biggest comments we always get is how many big windows we have. Both my wife and I love the big windows to bring the outside into the bus.
So much so, my truck conversion actually has larger windows. Don't think fewer windows are better-you'll regret it down the road-especially sitting in a very scenic campground. Good Luck, TomC

Is that an oops? Or is there something that belongs there that was removed for paint prep?
