Came out really nice---you did a very good job!

Thanks Lex. It was a lot of work and I still have just a couple of small things to do for it to be completely done. I will never get the money I have in it back out of it so I may end up keeping it. The dinette cushions are being reupholstered now and I have been caulking between the ceiling tiles. It's a great trailer but being an "88 I just don't think I will get an offer that I can live with knowing what I have in it.

My wife is working on the interior and will paint cabinet light grey, grey wooden floorings and white walls and change all cabinet and drawer handles black.
I am working on removing all the graphics and prints and it sure is taking a long time! I will be painting the body either satin black or flat black and window trimmings glossy black and the wheels will be flat black with red trimmings. You might be wondering why black...because we will be pulling it with an all black Hummer H2, which I had de-chromed. Hope it comes out really nice the way I have pictured it!
Is it easy to remove the carpet beside the bed and the one under the table?

I have not removed my carpet between my sofa/beds and under the dinette. I would suggest that you shampoo them up. Next Scotch guard them and go camping. I have additional throw rug under the dinette. It is nice to have some carpet underfoot on a chilly morning. See how much they annoy you or not. In the rest of the HiLo I had a flooring place replace the vinyl. I have throw rugs and a length of hall runner carpet and throw rugs in the BR. The flooring place used a floor patch then glue and vinyl. The challenge is not to add any more height to the floor in our 1990 Classic. Last campout I had a few of my glass bowls coming flying out when the door was opened up. If I hadn't had carpet it would have sliced the floor. Just some things to consider.

That carpet is not easy to remove. It is stapled down, not put in on tack strips. Use a flat bar and hammer to drive under the carpet edge and pry up. These are large staples and they either have to be removed or hammered down flush with the floor before putting in your new wood floor. One of the problems I ran into is these trailers are built for quantity and not quality so nothing was square. Get ready to cut stuff out of square to fit or cut it short and cover gaps with trim. Sounds like a good color scheme but I'm worried about the black absorbing heat from the sun in the summer. But the AC is usually much bigger than needed for a small trailer so it should be OK. Looking forward to seeing pics of your project. Start a build thread and post pics along the way! Best of luck Lex and if I can be of any assistance, email me at misfit429@gmail.com.

I had the opportunity to purchase this remodeled trailer from misfit last weekend. It was a great remodel and the wife and I are looking forward to taking it out.

Welcome to the forum. Yes, Misfit did an excellent job with his remodel. Hope you get many years of enjoyment with your Hi-Lo.
