Spring Break is only weeks away, yet we were snowed on in the Verde Valley last night!
We’ll be taking the fiver …somewhere … over the mid March Spring Break! We just can’t decide where to go!

Graphics Transformed!
Our fiver was transformed from this…
to this! With the old graphics off, it was time to put the new graphics on! The nose of our fiver will be unlike any others on the road. You see when they sent us a set of virtually all the graphics on our trailer, we had a few that we hadn’t seen before. A quick search on the internet revealed that the mountain scene, now on our nose, is a rear graphic for the Mountaineer travel trailer. But we think it looks great on the front cap!
From this…
to this!
The process: Once the graphics are off and the surface is washed, tape is used to mark the placement of the graphic. Then the surface is sprayed with a solution of soap, water and rubbing alcohol to keep your graphics from sticking too hard before your placement is aligned. The solution is squeegeed out, along with any bubbles. After you let it sit for awhile, you peel off the protective paper and Voila! New graphics!
We will spray our new graphics down with 303 protectant- hoping they’ll last longer!

Plastic Surgery
Our 2007 Montana Mountaineer needs plastic surgery!
The nose is Naked! We’re sure it baffles the radar of oncoming RV seekers saying, “There’s a …a…mystery machine!”
And the Nike Just Do It swirls on the side were starting to look more like…well…arrowheads?
Time for plastic surgery:
Step 1- Beg & plead for a set of New Shiny Graphics from manufacturer. (Woohoo! Montana said, “Sure – No problem! But install is up to you!”)
Step 2- Equipped with a heat gun & chemicals suitable for burning out your nose hairs, Strip off those graphics!
Step 3- Well, we’re not at step 3 yet. But here’s a look at our incognito trailer!
Ok- really the only “We” part of the equation is that I sent the email begging and pleading. Chris is doing all the work! Some warm, sunny day our naked trailer will get Shiny New Graphics! Stay tuned!
