New Coloring Started

 

Adventure Location:

Decatur, Alabama

Date: July 22, 2024



First thing after getting the OFM body moving well was to attack the new leaks that showed up during the storms yesterday. So we got the caulk and tools over to the front section of the trailer and started to looking for more cracked old caulk. We found some and got it all cleaned out and replaced but we could not be for certain it provided last nights leak point. We will find out with the next storm. These twenty year old trailers are a pain to keep from having leaks. We have been looking at new trailers for over a year now and have not found a floor plan we like yet. Or good enough construction either. This took about 1.5 hours and a clean up of the OFM.

Next was a nice walk but it was too warm and humid again. Then a mile and a half into the walk a rain cloud moved in on us so we short cut back to the Castle to be safe. The rain was only a little bit as it turned out.

As we were coming back we passed by the tree fell on it rig that is waiting to be removed from the campground.



We have not heard a thing about the clean up getting started so it just sits there.



Later in the afternoon we got motivated and started a new coloring and WOW is it slow going for now.



Some new techniques are planned for this effort so it will definitely be interesting to color. So far it is very slow coloring due to the planning we are doing for the finished look.

Good night folks. Have fun tomorrow.

  1. Barney, it looks like you have an Arctic Fox 22H. We have a 2007 Arctic Fox 22G. The 22G is the only model Northwood makes now with no slides. The only difference is the bed and no couch. Would it possibly work for you? Maybe you could find a 22H used but much newer that would fit the bill. Keep looking!

    1. Actually any rig would work for me but I want something shorter than the 22H I have. Like 18 feet instead of 24 feet. I do not have much stuff to carry anymore. Pretty much just me and the one smallish box of art stuff. Thank you for your comment.

    2. Northwood has what they call a Nash 17K, no slides. You might take a look.

    3. Been watching it since July 2007 when I bought the 22h used. At the time I needed more storage than now so the Nash 17k is on my list of maybe trailers. A couple of my blog readers have them and are well satisfied with the unit.
      Thank you for your comments.

  2. I recall changes you made to the Castle, many years ago. I would be hard to find a decent replacement.
    Be Safe and Enjoy working on your colouring.

    It's about time.

  3. Park model with a covered storage area for the Fox. Would solve a lot of problems.
