Does anyone have experience with this, and how did you get the stripe in
place? Ideas from people that have never done this are also welcome, as
I doubt there are many "stripe replacement" experts, and they might not
be reading RAS.
You guys have *way* too much time on your hands.
When you have a 12 year old trailer with 120,000 miles on it, what are
you going to do? I've replaced 3 sets of tires, one set of brakes, one
tongue, both taillights (with LED units), glued and re-glued the carpet
pieces, and a new axle is on it's way. That leaves the stripes!
Maybe I should've done the stripes at Albert Lea, where I definitely had
*way* too much time on my hands.
Don't you have blowholes to clean or something ?
Already did that in March (not sure which year, though).
