Clive: how do the rings attach to the wheels???? Plus, I'm thinking about just having shiny bolts and bearings' cover.

After I ordered the baby moons, I wondered how do I check the temp of the bearings every time we stop if they are covered? Seems like a pain in the rear.

Reinhold---I know----can you believe we haven't even had a chance to hook Bean up to the Ridge yet? I'm dying to see what it looks like behind the black truck! We have to measure and get the right hitch---always something!

Wow, what a transformation! Beautiful job.
Enjoy using it!

Vickie, they are usually just a "friction fit". There are tabs on the inside that when the beauty/trim ring is pressed into the wheel, they compress and hold the ring on. Those tabs can scratch the paint though, so watch for that if you don't want to damage the paint on your wheels and if you are not certain that you want that look; if you take them off you may have small scratches. Not a problem if you leave them on of course.

The rings can be found ranging from chromed plastic to polished stainless.

I think the rings would complement the chrome nuts and bearing covers very nicely!

Looking forward to more pics!

I'm so color coordinated challenged all I can do is sit her with my mouth open and admire......great job!

WOW
as the young ones would say "that is bad AZZ".

Great job, Vickie.

Looking forward to seeing the magic on the interior!

[Steve in TX]

Wow, turned out great!

Thanks all! Counting down the days till Spring! It was hard to divert my mind from planning the interior to decorating for Christmas---but my friends were "noticing" I was a bit obsessive about Bean, so I had to suck it up and enter the real world.

Merry Christmas to All!

Hi, Vickie, I know exactly what you mean.
I have bought no presents yet. I get to the store and head for the camping isle-to see if there is something new or something I need. Richard has been asking `where are we going on our first trip.`

I am just adding the finishing touches on the blackout shades for the camper. Just threw them together last year-with no hems-we needed them for our last trip.

My daughter, who is a graphic artist is going to work with me on the stencils for the outside. I don`t want to put something on the camper would take away from its beauty or would be too much.

We are also looking for an awning for the window next to the front door, like the others on the camper. Seems like that side is always in the sun when we camp.


Waiting for spring and our first camping trip of 2011!
Rei Clark
