been toying with the idea of makin a secret camper so today i took the first step. oh and i wanted to say "HI" to the other boiseans on here. i'll try to take pictures of whatever i do to it and post them

first thing i have to do is take the business decals off this thing.

got the first wall half done in about 1/2 hour.. the more stickers i take off the faster i am... i may go pro after this, lol

Congrats....good luck with it. They are fun to build, but mine is taking longer than I anticipated with busy schedules etc...It's even rewarding when my wife comes out and compliments it. She actually climbed in last night to discuss the mattress issues. I have a 5x8 and it's bigger than you'd think on the inside. Anyway you'll have fun with it if anything.

FWIW, they come off easier when they are warm. Since the sun is pretty low at this time of year, you might want to try a hair dryer to warm the glue before peeling them. Also, if any glue goo remains, WD-40 and some clean rags will usually take it right off without much elbow grease.....

Heat gun and lots of elbow grease. Take it from me - I'm a sign guy. Clean up the leftover adhesive with denatured alcohol or, if it's stubborn, lacquer thinner. But be careful with thinners - the paint on the aluminum could become compromised. You'll be fine with the alcohol or the WD40 as V wrote!

Hello and welcome.
Good to hear another Boisean is here we might just have to start our own chapter her in boise :lol:

Good luck with your conversion if you see my trailer you will notice mine is a little different than a CT as i started out with an open utility trailer,how ever it still functions as a cargo/camper trailer'
