Thanks for the reply. This product showed up in my previous searches. I tried contacting the manufacturer regarding surface prep, but was unable to get a response. 4/5ths of my roof is oxidized factory paint, and 1/5th is fiberglass. A good scrub and scuff with heavy scotchbrite should work on...

Hello! I've gotten some awful good advice here so here goes I've got an aluminum roof, coated with factory single-stage paint that's oxidized like normal for a vehicle made in 2002. I'm looking for a coating with the most effective heat reflection, and it would be nice if it also offered good...

Another factor to consider is most tool truck operators are in it for the long haul, and drive and treat their rigs accordingly. Chances are better the truck was maintained impeccably and not beaten, as one might find with a UPS van or large company that hires anyone with a heartbeat to drive...

This one is aluminum out and in, accept for the ceiling which is carpet, 3/8 plywood and 1" styrofoam. I believe best results dictates to skin over with more aluminum sheet. Weighing my options, time/trouble/cost VS benefit/appearance. Haven't made a thread, didn't think my slow progress...

As I'd hoped, I found some good advice here. Thanks! I hope to see you all on the road one day.

Thanks for the suggestions and no thanks for the backhanded wise crack. It was not needed.

All viable points. This is what I was looking for. I could see the window seals being a problem in the future, though how far I couldn't guess. Access to both sides may be necessary for proper replacement. Certainly things to consider.

Thanks for the advice, I'm planning to explore BLM and National Forests as much as possible, and some campgrounds for the rest. "Stealth" camping in the cities doesn't appeal to me, though it may be a necessity on occasion. As long as it's not detrimental for insulation, I'll keep the OEM...

The stock windows in my shuttle are not unattractive but my question is, would they be much different to cover and insulate, over replacing them with aluminum sheet? My interior design covers several of the original windows so insulation is a must, but is removing them the smarter thing to do...

Thanks, I'm hoping it's not too clumsy to get into the back country. The wheel base is close to a long bed dually, but overhang is relatively high and not too long. The 7.3 only has 130k on it, should be a strong mill for 4-600k. My carpentry skills leave much to be desired, but wood is warmer...

Pics are coming, not as swift as I'd like with computers. Near midnight when I finally figured out how to edit my profile and add pictures. Donated the wheelchair lift to my friend with MS, and gutted all but two seat frames, 2 interior lights and the ceiling grab bars. I've installed some...

Hi all, I'm having a tough time editing my profile. Here's the blank canvas. This is a test...

BigPhattyVWHello Friends! I have been scouring the interwebs for anyone who has experience working with that thin fiberglass ceiling and I am coming up empty. Has anyone know of a site or recommendations in general about what you can and cannot do with that roof. Topics such as: • Bonding it...

I appreciate the welcome. I hope the opportunities so many now enjoy remain unencumbered. I'll try my best to contribute. Thanks!

Hello! For the curious, my handle is pronounced "Scooter lover" I'm not yet retired and my new rolling home is far from finished, but I figured I'd better look around in here for tips and tricks and start planning (somewhat) my first days of freedom. My intended home is an 02 E450, 17...
