At least you have hair. I've had (out of necessity) the same look for a long time. It's hard to change style when there ain't nothing there to style.  :))

Hi Carol,

Yes it's still a library.

Wow!  I like your style.  Fun!

We have the light wallpaper walls in our coach and like them.  Just enough wood for my taste. 

What's the old saying?  "You pays your money and you takes your chances!"  I enjoyed seeing you make your coach YOURS.

HOLY WOWIE WOW WOW!!  I TOTALLY dig it!!!  My mouth was agape for the first several minutes, and then I just breathlessly uttered the words "I LOOOOVE IT!!"  We both think it looks super amazing!!!! 

Thanks to Carol, for expressing this above statement in such a thoughtful way.  Man, life is just too darn short to not do what you want to do.  I completely respect and applaud your guts to go ahead with your vision and have it turn out so danged beautiful.  It works PERFECTLY for you guys.  And that is ALL that matters.  You have a vibrant family, and you are both very full of life people, and of COURSE you want your surroundings to reflect that.  It DOES now.  You are more YOU now than ever.  How cool that you are teaching your boys to "go for it."  You have to allow yourself permission to just live and do you.  YAY for you guys!!!  This looks WICKED AMAZING!!!  I am all smiles for YOU!

I am also loving your freedom and gusto for doing it.  I always have the same haircut, and get so envious of all the girls that have wild and fun flirty hairstyles and hair colors.  I am so dang traditional and it takes a LOT for me to step outside that box.  You just BLASTED THAT BOX TO SMITHEREENS and it is SO LIBERATING and EXHILARATING to see it being done.  Rock on, WalkerFam7!  You nailed it.    ^.^d

Hahaha...I love this comment <3 Made me smile. Thank you!

Looks Great!!  We purchased our Foretravel recently after finding your YouTube channel followed by tons of research.  We had been quietly talking about what it would look like painted and you have given us the inspiration to take that leap.  Thank you guys for stepping outside the box and showing us what is possible!

The solid dark wood takes a bunch of lumens to see whats going on.  Nice job , brightening it up .
  Maybe we will consider wall papering some areas.

Only way to show an old Foretravel was to turn every light on in it

So great!  Glad we could inspire!  I will warn you, it is a LOT of work (lots of sanding and priming over and over) but it's so worth it if this is the look you're going for!  Can't wait to see what you guys do!  WTG on purchasing a Foretravel!

We started with the bathroom to try out the brightening effect because it's the smallest room and bathrooms tend to be lighter for the most part.  We loved it so much that we decided to do the rest of the coach.

There are a lot of really great peel and stick wallpapers out there that wouldn't permanently change the wood and are super easy to install.  That's what I plan on using in our bathroom eventually.  There's a company I really like that has many different beautiful styles.  It's a little more expensive, but I figure if I'm putting up something I want to love and plan on keeping it for a while I want something quality.  Wallpaper | Murals | Walls Need LoveĀ®

You are right about that.  All of the tours and other videos we have ever done in our coach we had to have every single LED on inside to light it and even then we sometimes used another light to supplement.  For this tour I don't think I had any lights on at all.

I like lighter colors too. Slide in and no lights on.

Just curious as to how the paint is holding up, did you sand everything down to bare wood? Your coach looks fantastic!

Jim,
Yours is one of the very few U320's or U295's that I have seen with lighter toned wood. Is that maple in your coach? Looks really nice. Foretravel seems to have rarely used maple in their coaches...

Yes maple, Foretravel made 7 Designer Series over the years, and 5 came with maple, but think you could pre order maple if you had a new coach built at the factory.

We sanded the wood down pretty significantly, primed with oil base primer. sanded again, primed again and sanded again before painting. Before we put it into storage the paint was doing just fine.  There were a couple of places where we had let the cabinets shut before the paint had cured and it stuck and came off when we opened the door, but once it had a good week to cure we haven't had any other problems with it.
