An LED strip light on the exterior would be the modern / smart upgrade

One more enhancement for the LEDs, hook them up to your turn signals so that when you are making a turn they will flash with your tow vehicles turn signals. You can use blocking diodes to isolate from the tow vehicle when you are parked and just using them at night. Maybe even a switch that allows each side to be independent of the other while parked. Just a thought.

@@donaldhoudek2889 I'm actually replacing the corner weatherstripping on mine with larger aluminum L brackets and I'm putting a groove through one edge so I can mount an LED straight up it. The front will be amber to go with the running lights and the back will be red, keyed into the brakes and blinkers. Excellent idea!!

Your hubby is a genius! With all the tech/electronic upgrades you are saving your backs so much wear and if one of you does happen to injure their backs, you will still be able to function in your RV. Honestly Air Stream should take notice of what you have accomplished. Your bathroom is so user friendly and incredibly useful when not being used as a bathroom! Love it!

I like it. Your choices appear very well thought out. The turquoise may be the best choice, since it will match the wheels, that way, when people notice it, they'll think it's clever (or factory). I look forward to reports from the road.

i vote led strip around the outside. Also I polished my airstream with rotary buffer and NUVITE aluminum polish. It's aircraft polish and it works so much better. It's a lot faster and you can get a mirror finish with it. I used the grade C and then finish grade. I tried polishing the same way your doing it but I couldn't get it to look right, I wanted it to look like some pictures you see. They look like they were glowing super bling. The trick is aircraft aluminum polish. And the best one is Nuvite Nushine polish. It's expensive like $70 or $80 for each grade and you need to use at least 2 grades. Like the finish grade and one step under that. It is so worth it you will be amazed it takes it to whole different level.

First :YAY! a video to watch! Second : How is your knee healing? Third: I think you should paint the line starting from the back the color of the bus, the van, and then add in Pippa"s fur colors[ And the new kitty] in a strip going towards the door opening, leave the last part the same shiny metal at the door. Hooray for a wonderful self made home with fancy gadgets! It looks so cozy! and well laid out! shivering black bell thumbs up!
