When
I opened my eyes at 7:00 this morning I should have gotten out of bed
at that very moment but instead my eyes blinked and the clock
suddenly read 8:00. I have to stop blinking my eyes like that.
Once
everything was ready for breakfast the first thing I checked on the
Computer was The Weather Network.
I was surprised to see that we were going to have seasonal weather
today not all that inflated Humidex
that we’ve been experiencing lately.
Kathy
was downstairs by 8:30 and was feeling much better than she has in a
while. Once breakfast was over I started my inside chores while my
Coffee cooled next to Kathy at her Computer. Once again
I looked at the Seven Day Forecast. I want to get all my
outside chores completed because we are in for some real scorchers
coming our way.
I
was outside by 10:00 getting only the Tools that were
necessary. My plan was to finish detailing the remainder of the
Trailer with the Coconut Oil so I started with the rear
wall. By the time I finished that even the Ladder was sparkling.
There were parts of the upper side Walls that I could not
reach from the Ladder because they were over the Slides.
So I climbed to the Roof and worked from on top of the Slides
themselves. Having thought ahead I used my old work rug to kneel on.
I barely touched my hand to the Slide Topper and was surprised
not to have burnt it. On the Roof itself I was able to clean
up the Roof Trims, Air Conditioner and Vent Covers.
They all looked like they were new.

Having
already drank a full bottle of Water as soon I was back on the
ground I started detailing the rear corner that would be next to be
in the direct Sunlight. The heat that I felt in the
direct Sunlight felt like the Arizona
Sun this past Winter.
When
I went inside to refill my Water Bottles Kathy was already
getting things ready for lunch. She wanted something filling but lite
so she made Split Pea with Ham Soup for lunch along with
giving us each a Yogurt Cup and Orange for dessert.
Back
outside I worked on detailing the Kitchen/Living Room Slide.
It took over an Hour but the result was a very shiny surface
that no longer had a gritty texture to it.
In the Shade you see the true colour of our Trailer. I like the reflection. |
There
have been Comments asking if the Coconut Oil attracts
Dust or Dries Up. What I have
noted is that by using Microfiber Clothes to apply the Oil
and wipe it down I am able to remove the excess Wax Build Up
and to get it smooth and shiny. On the darker areas where the Coconut
Oil had dried it left a White Residue that was easily
wiped off with a Microfiber Cloth. When I double checked later
this evening there was no further Residue
that had appeared.
Direct Sunlight makes it look White rather then Tan to the Camera. That spot was on the Lens not the Trailer. |
A
number of our neighbours were asking if I could clean their RVs
for them. Considering that we’ve had all kinds of appointments
and the temperatures have been extreme it has taken me over Two
Weeks since I started this project. The fact that I don’t want
to have a messy looking finish also added to the time. I tried
wetting a small spot and the Water does bead up on the
surface. It was past 3:00 when I finally stopped for the day.
For
supper I grilled a couple of Hamburgers that Kathy added a bit
of Potato Chips to and some Bing Cherries for dessert.
Once
the Dishes were cleaned and put away we headed out for a
bicycle ride around the Park.
It’s been a while because of the Heat and today’s Humidex
only reached 88 F (31 C). Since this is
Summer it’s also funny to see as many Adults as the
Children stop and stare as we ride by on our Tandem
Bicycle.
Tonight
we have to set the Alarm
because Kathy has an early appointment. We tried explaining that we
were Retired
(Really
Tired).
Hopefully
we’ll be able to sleep. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

Nice job on the RV, it looks great!
ReplyDeleteThe rv looks wonderful! So many uses for coconut oil and I won't be without it.
ReplyDeleteJust an add-on. I'm glad to read that you don't need to wax first - life is too short to do both that and the c.oil! ;)
DeleteYup it looks great!!! I may just have to try it!!
ReplyDeleteYour home looks wonderful! Alot of work for you so hoping it lasts a long time!
ReplyDeleteThe RV looks better than brand new. I have three questions though. Am I correct in saying that you did a part of the RV only with wax, then you did wax with C oil on top and finally you just used the C oil? Does the RV shine consistency all the way around or are some areas better than others? What do plan to do re future maintenance and waxing?
ReplyDeleteI bet you glad that job is done. It looks beautiful
