New Painted Rig October 27, 2011, 10:52:59 am Yahoo Message Number: 126222Hi, For those of you who were interested in seeing my new paint job, here is the link. I am very happy [] with the quality and new look. The old paint was so faded and had many chips that really don't show in the old photos.I will also be painting the inside and replacing the carpet with new Resista refresh. I had a slow leak from the fresh water tank ball shut off valve. I replaced it with a PVC ball valve from ACE. Excited about hitting Highway (Route 66 SW) from Springfield, IL in fews weeks . http://tinyurl.com/6zp6yofhttp://tinyurl.com/6zp6yof>Regards,Armand1998 30' TB[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Re: New Painted Rig Reply #2 – October 27, 2011, 11:41:18 am Yahoo Message Number: 126224Armand, that is great! I am curious since mine is a 2000 and I have been wanting to have it painted. Could you share with me what this cost? Thanks, Betty Jean ()
Re: New Painted Rig Reply #3 – October 27, 2011, 11:56:06 am Yahoo Message Number: 126225Great paint job Armand! Are those air horns on the roof? If so how do you power them?Safe travels,Dave 2000 RB Albuquerque
Re: New Painted Rig Reply #4 – October 27, 2011, 12:12:46 pm Yahoo Message Number: 126227"Are those air horns on the roof?"Armand Nice paint job! Bet that cost a few bucks and you got a new paint scheme in the process. I do wonder how long the air horns are going to remain where they are before a tree branch removes one or both. Having tree branches brush over the top of the LD is common occurrence. If you make it to the West Coast, bring it to a LD Caravan Club event or the Yahoo West GTG, in March. We would love to see it. http://www.lazydazecaravanclub.org/> http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/lifewithalazydazerv/message/125803>Larry
Re: New Painted Rig Reply #5 – October 27, 2011, 12:38:12 pm Yahoo Message Number: 126229Nice looking paint job! I like the color scheme..Also, just an FYI.. If you or anyone else wants one, replacement front Lazy Daze decals are available from the mothership -- only the Montclair version though -- no more "Pomona, CA" versions for those older rigs.. Sorry, I do not know the cost..

Re: New Painted Rig Reply #7 – October 27, 2011, 05:52:20 pm Yahoo Message Number: 126234It looks very modern! What a different character the new paint gives it.Eric Greenwell
Re: New Painted Rig Reply #8 – October 28, 2011, 01:15:25 am Yahoo Message Number: 126235"Love the paint job. I also would like to know the cost and place where you had it painted." It looks like an expensive paint job. That is a lot of real estate to prep and paint and must be done in an large spray booth. Somebody loves their LD.I like the darker, solid color on the overhead, a whole new look. Good work.Larry

Re: New Painted Rig Reply #10 – October 28, 2011, 08:40:09 am Yahoo Message Number: 126237Hi Dave, Yes, the horns on the roof have a small 12VDC air compressor that hold enough air to blow the horns for about 15 seconds and automatically recharges with air. The tank is about 12" X 5" and is right above the front cabinet drivers side.Thanks,Armand

Re: New Painted Rig Reply #12 – October 28, 2011, 09:30:52 am Yahoo Message Number: 126239If you look at how sailboats keep lines from fouling on protrusions on deck, they use stainless (aluminum could be used too)tubing to make a protective loop or cage around things that could get snagged. Something like that would protect the air horns from small tree limbs, big stuff would still damage things.Eddie

Lorna's Photo Reply #17 – November 01, 2011, 04:41:38 pm Yahoo Message Number: 126314I was just looking at the Harvet Hosts' website and all of a sudden up comes a picture of a couple of LDs parked at a farm. That sure did catch my attention. And then I noticed Lorna's name as the contributor of the pictures. Way to go Lorna!!!Judy Wms.Blue '07 RB "Dog Daze"White '09 Scion "Puppy Daze"And all the fur kids

That's Joan Taylor's rig in the foreground; mine in the rear. The photo was taken during a visit to Purple Haze Lavender Farms in Sequim, WA. That same photo was also used in Trailer Life's July, 2011 issue. More and more "hosts" are being added to Harvest Hosts' lineup from coast to coast -- a really nice alternative (for a $30.00 annual membership) to rest stops, truck stops and Walmarts when you just want to get from Point A to Point B: www.harvesthosts.com (Except as a member, I have no interest in this company.)Lorna Coarsegold, CA http://uppity-woman.blogspot.com/~~~~~~~~~
