beach bum

thanks coach ken... appreciate the info. beach bum

does anyone know where i can get a light weight box to mount over the rear bumper or i will have my frame re inforced and put a trailer hitch cargo rack system... any suggestions beach bum

3 coats... 1 clear...removed some of the hatches but left all the windows on, just re caulked all areas. hardly did any body work. this 1990 was real straight. beach bum

never had 1 problem... always drive during the day and get through the border towns as quick as you can. always mind your own business and never pick a fight... :] been going down to mexico for ever...[40 years] since i was 9. let me know if you need any info. beach bum

well the paint cost me $1600.00 and i am very happy with it, my 2 dogs are a golden and a mexican mut i rescued 3 years ago in san carlos mexico so we named him carlos... :]

#1. doe's any one know if it is true that if i put a k and n filter i would get better gas mileage and more horse power. #2. where can i purchase a hot/cold outdoor shower kit to mount to side of my 1990 toyota dolphin. #3. need an all black spare tire cover. thanks, and happy new year to all. beach bum.

well hello all, my toyota ran great, i drove between 60 and 70 miles per hour, averaging 14 to 16 miles to the gallon. the coach was super comfortable for my wife and i, youngest daughter and my 2 dogs.the fridge operated extremely efficiently on the gas setting, oven and stove worked great for all our meals.the heater would be turned on for maybe 30 minutes in the am and we got toasty... as some of you might know i recently cleaned up all the old caulking and had the entire rv painted. went with a carbon grey semi metalic paint by dupont. i must admit when i saw the color 1st being shot on at the shop, i thought the color was ok, but after it was all said and done : i love it! many compliment on our journey through southern arizona and mexico. here are a couple of photos, please let me know what you all think... untill the next time, beach bum.

thanks... good words.

well i took my rig in yesterday all preped for paint ,will be getting it back christmas eve evening. decided to paint the entire rig 2008 carbon gray...and re do the lettering to Mucho Aloha. will post photos when done. heading down to san carlos mexico for some kite boarding on 12/ 26. happy hollidays to all. beach bum

thank you gentlemen for your quick response. beach bum...

beach bum again, i am also thinking about putting a trailor hitch for the sole purpose of mounting a cargo carrier to the receiver, hence extra cargo space, a guy i met at phoenix rv told me that it was a bad idea, it would cost a lot of $ to mount a reicever hitch and it would not be secure enough. i dont understand? he said it would bounce all over.true or not true? i need the extra cargo space for all my boards and kites, i am a kite surfer and travel often down into mexico. please advise, thanks again. beach bum.

hello beach bum here, just purchsaed a sweet 1990 dolphin, wondering if i have it proffessionaly painted will it devaluate the value. also my reason for painting is that the exterior is very sun faded and the fiberglass fibers are starting to show threw the gel coat, so i presume that a couple coats of sealer + 3 coats of paint should help. please let me know... beach bum.
