Ok, now share some pictures of what your coach looks like!

I just read the whole string and there is not a photo of your finished coach.. it's only fair to let us see how it looks!

My bad. Just walked down stairs and took a couple for you. Went through the IPad and found that I had not taken a picture of the paint job.

Wow, that looks great!

Same colors as my 2003 4005.
Interesting you have the 3126B and according to the brochure mine has the 3126E. I just looked at a photo of the engine information on the valve cover and there is no designation following 3126... maybe I have a "B"?
...doubt there is much difference....

Looks like a really nice paint job, I presume the before looked pretty bad...

Question about exterior sidewall replacement and paint.

No the paint was not that bad just the chicken scratches in the darker green colors. curb side dark colors were repainted just before I bought the RV and with in a year started coming back. None of my neighbors have even noticed the coach was repainted.

Hi Ramets,
DJJ is correct. The problem continues to get worse. Chicken scratches becomes spider webs. There is never a structural problem. Cosmetic only. It is like a cancer. Once it starts it never goes away. One must eradicate the root of the problem. That is the fiberglass.
