Winter is over...

Ok folks, winter is over lets get back to work on Dave!! We de-winterized Dave this weekend, well actually we just sttarted to work on him again after this long and cold winter... On Friday I painted the frame with a silver rust paint, so that 3/4 of the frame are painted now. On Saturday Steffi helped me to fix our Rear End Seperation problem, which was easier fix than thought, but still work for nearly a whole day. On Sunday I wanted to screw the new flooring to the frame and then discoverd that the shell had moved about 1/2 an inch on one side, so that the old screw holes didn´t fit to the holes in the outriggers... SO I had to remove the floor again and bring the shell back in place. The main problem is that the new flooring is about 1mm too think and the floor won´t slip into the C-Channel very easily. I removed 1.5mm on each side and now it slips into the C-Channel like a hot knife through butter! The Camera wasn´t charged to I couldn´t take any pics, but I´ll do that next weekend.
The new Floor and the Interiorskin have to be back in the Trailer by July 15th for the big fly-in at the Stendal Airport, so that we can use it for selling Coffee, Tea and Pies like we did last year.
