This is the view from the front window of the motorhome from our campsite in Preferred RV Resort. The desert is BLM lands (Bureau of land Management), government owned and boondockers are prevalent(no services). Just pick a spot, near no one and set up. We prefer full services, so we stay in campgrounds.
We stayed here for a week beginning April 3rd so we could celebrate Nini's birthday with she and Wes as well as Joy and Rick, Roberta and Dan at the Golden Nugget.
While here, Bill decided to use his paintbrush to paint the bottom section of the motorhome to cover stone chips etc. Because he was using a brush or roller, a non-metallic paint was advised (we had bought the paint and hardener in Mesa). Bill had spent most of the week before preparing the surface per the advice of the paint shop. We picked a spot in the desert and proceeded on a warm day with a slight breeze. The brush worked better than the roller, but two coats of paint were required to complete the task. The rig looks good and now with some buffing a couple of spots where the paint ran will be feathered out. We have extra paint now to touch up any stone chips or scratches we incur as we travel. Bill was a very tired guy that night, but thankful the weather co-operated; since then, the temps have been cool to downright cold so the timing was perfect!
