Hello, I started a remodeling post, and am not sure if my questions would be lost there, so I started a new thread, if that's an issue, I will remove.
1. I will be redoing the plumbing, which may include a newer/better water pump, but also wanted to know about upgrading the water heater, possibly something that would work a little quicker for less water waste while waiting for it to heat up. Any suggestions?
2. I had some semi-extensive water damage through the roof and a few sidewalls and had to remove the old paneling. I have no desire to replace and match the exact panels inside the trailer because I will be painting the entire interior. What does everyone use to replace the interior panels?
2a. Paint... I bought some liquid TSP and will be using that to clean the interior panels and cabinets to prep for paint. I will likely sand them as well. I will also be using a high adhesion primer on all surfaces. Outside of that, are there any hard recommendations for paint that will hold up in the RV? I use Behr a lot with my company and have had good luck, but that is in homes.
3. I have to replace some of the plastic on the outside as well as some siding in front of the trailer and in front of the slideout. I know that what I buy will not look like what is existing, so paint is on the menu for the ouside.
So... 2 questions, 1 is what type of paint is recommended? 2 is, I do not want the trailer to look like a utility trailer, so are there recommendations for decals to throw back on? I am not sold on matching the original graphics, would like to do something more along my style.
thanks in advance for any and all suggestions
