Title: Changes to the U270 for this winters tripsouth
Post by: Westwinds on October 28, 2013, 05:49:34 pm
Picked up the U270 on October 8th, full paint and graphics by Fox Performance in Reno NV.  Cleaned all the compartments,  much desert dirt.  New Atwood range,  we dry camp and like an oven.  See level tank gauges, when I replaced the rear camera last year,  I removed the Audit system.  Added three additional 145 watt solar panels and a 60 amp MPPT controller.  New TV ant and Air Card ant.  Had the Rugs cleaned.  New screen door foam seals and door hold open arm, PTL Eng. (door mfg.) good people to work with.  New A/C covers, old covers were very brittle.  I hope that will be it for this year, out of money.

Sounds like getting your child ready for college. Bet your smiling from ear to ear. I know the feeling. Good luck on your trip.

Took a few days to get Photos taken,  Gelcoat was sanded, primered, DuPont Imron,  Clear coat, Clear bra was shot on front.  Should outlast our ownership.

Your coach looks really nice.
Did you paint the mirrors or did they come black?

Hi- Jerry, The mirrors were  black from the factory in 2001.  We had them repainted with Imron and left the original Foretravel logo on them, (I forgot to get new mirror logos from the factory when I ordered new front and rear "FORETRAVEL and U270" logos). The mirrors turned out nice and the logos looked new.

Clear Coat probably looks better than when it was new.  Very nice.  Another full paint option.  Thanks.
