beach bum Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 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.

bufbooth Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hello, Nice paint job, kind of gives it a military/government look, which I like. About how much did the paint job cost? Is you coach siding made of fiberglass? Thanks, Dennis... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
