Sunday I began working on the camper. Initially my thought process was to clean up the outside a little bit so it wouldn't look like rundown trailer trash. I went to work with a grinder and a wire wheel attachment. I knocked off the rust and old paint from the bumper and hitch. I spent about two days getting it down to pretty much bare metal. I then sprayed it with white rustoleum. Here was my first mistake of which I'm sure will be many. I should have used the rusty metal primer, as the rust is already starting to creep through in a couple of spots. I thought (wrongly) that rustoleum was rustoleum. So it looks like I will redo this by spraying the primer and then coming back over it again with the white. I also completely washed and waxed the outside. I spent a few more evenings just cleaning up some spots and doing research on the net for floor repair and such. I have some pictures of this but unfortunately they are on film and have not been developed yet. My wife had let her Mother borrow our digital camera for her trip to Indy to see Lisa's brother. This past Sunday I began the process of checking out the floor damage. I will post on that tomorrow with some pictures.
