A hundred feet of black PVC pipe on the roof when parked will give you a lot of hot water at the end of the day for an outdoor shower for two,.... nudge nudge, know what I mean? lol

i sure do, wink wink!!!

Safety Chains go over the receiver in front of the hitch then hook onto the eyelets. This way if the hitch comes undone it doesn't dive into the ground.
You'll have to paint the same colors as the Burb. Your not looking for hard to find NOS pieces for the trailer are you?

How is your armrest holding up after painting it? My paint is all cracking on mine, so now I have to figure out how to either re-do it, or strip it.
I cleaned it real good, and prepped it, but it didn't hold. Hope you had better luck.

They make a product that it is a plastic adhesive helper. I used it for painting all the hard plastic parts in my cab and it helps the paint to bond to the material better.

I will look into that. I'm thinking the flex from resting my arm on it, and pulling on it had something to do with it as well.

Yes the house should be the first inline. Fun new skills. Nothing like learning something new, and doing it correctly. Enjoy--------------
