Patandlinda Escape 19 modifications

[Greg A]

Nice work as always, Pat. I think we should start a GoFund Me to keep you doing projects the rest of the year that all of us can get inspired from. I don't even use the cable inlet port and the SS one you put on looked so good, I'm pricing it out.

Thankyou Greg . It really dresses up the exterior . I put those stainless bolts with ss fender washers and lock nuts to help from sticky fingers and then Lexel on the back of nuts to make it harder to remove . Pat

I'm liking the solid blue Pat. Much more modern and sharp than the stock fabric IMHO.

Thankyou , Robert . Actually the colors didn't come out right . The fabric is Sunbrella , marine Tourquise . Also bought automotive gray vinyl for bottom . Thank Laura cause she caused me grief until I relented to change . Linda is very happy . I have a hard time with change but I have to say I am loving it now . Makes the trailer look a lot nicer .

The makeover looks good. Change can be good.

You know I like it Pat!
Our lounge in Dupione Deep Sea, looks almost identical to your new fabric.

Bobbie,

Scotchgard should give it some water resistance. We used to use that when we had to ski in jeans. It doesn't make them waterproof, but it helped. If you decide to do this, try it on a little spot before doing the whole thing.

I was advised by the owner of an upscale upholstery shop that I should NOT use Scotchguard on my newly recovered sofas and chair. He said that when it gets dirty ( and it will ), it is that much harder to clean. He had some 50 years in the business, so I believe him.

Thankyou Greg . You know what next on the agenda is ,the table . The fabrics are similar but for some reason even the chair I put the Escape fabric on looks blue . It's not ,it's Turquoise.
I do like blue too though . Don't understand what is going on with this camera . Every color to do with the water is my color . Pat

Glenn,
I have exactly zero years in the business and I won't argue with him.
I was referring to Bobbie's concern that the banner probably wasn't water resistant and might run.

Unless you did a really clean job blocking off the open part of the outside vent with white backing it looks we have the same vent. It will be interesting to see if what Larry sends you is different then what you have now.

Hi Dave and Robert too. Just received the new vent and gasket . It is the same as what we have . Nothing different . Needed a new gasket though . I will say "Fabulous Operating Products "is a great responsive company . Not a lot out there anymore . Thankyou again . Pat

Great job Pat; looks very cool!

Wow, Pat. Looked up to the northeast of here, and saw an extra-dazzling Turquoise tinted sky. Must be light reflecting off the new stuff in your Escape. Nicely done!

Edit: color correction!

That is a nice big beautiful change for you. The turquoise looks gorgeous!! That is almost like getting another trailer to change the cushions so much.

[Nrgtic4]

The turquoise looks terrific!
