Painting the Shasta LoFlyte, Day 2 05/01/11
Oh crap I’m exhausted. SO many nooks, crannies, cabinets, corners, hinges…Lots of things that have to be unscrewed, pulled off, painted around, and replaced.
I’ve painted countless rooms over the years and almost always been able to knock one out in a solid day, but here I am with this tiny camper and after 2 full days I’m only about 2/3 of the way done. It’s good, though. Things are coming along and if scrubbing, patching, and painting does anything, it gives you an intimate knowledge of every square inch. We’re keeping a running list of small items that need tending to. Dave went today and picked up a piece of cedar to replace the bad wood by the back window and is formulating his plan for pulling and resealing it.

Hi! I just found your website-I was doing the exact same thing as you today–painting my camper. We have a 1966 Shasta camper. Yours is VERY similar to ours. It was so fun to look at your pics and see the similarities. Tonight my husband installed the light fixtures like you showed on one of your posts. I believe it was the one on the top right of your pics. We chose to keep the original cone fixture-for now anyway. I also enjoyed your post about not being able to decorate that you pile instead. I do that too! I painted over the backsplash. Anyway, I go on. I hope you continue to post pics of your progress!
Hi Dana. Thanks for the note! What model is your Shasta? What part of the country are you in?
Have fun with your project!
AT least you are making progress!!! It looks great!
Thanks, Patty!
I love the colors and can’t wait to see more! I’m getting ready to redo my little ’67 Williams Craft trailer. Looking forward to joining the fun!
