Subject: [A/S] advice for removing numbers


 

The previous owner had numbers on this trailer but didn't get them completely removed. Any suggestions would be appreciated, not only to remove remaining numbers, but the ghost of numbers past.

I've used WD 40 and elbow grease in the past and it worked to remove old numbers.

We just purchased a 10" memory foam mattress from Sams and are surprised how
comfortable it is. When we refinished our Airstream a few years ago we got
a king sized three piece foam mattress from Knox Foam. It was nearly $1K
but was well worth the investment. Absolutely the best mattress we have
slept on. The mattress we got from Sams was for another camper. Tried to
get another from Knox, but could not find them, apparently they are out of
business. Web site is gone and the phone number is no longer valid. The
new one we purchased was the 10" Night Therapy Pressure Relief Memory Foam -
Queen # 657314. Total cost delivered was on $314. It had great reviews and
the price was very reasonable compared to similar products. I highly
recommed the mattress and suggest you ditch the 2" foam rubber pad you are
using.
NFI, just very satisfied.

Subject: [A/S] mattress & bumper sticker

Does anyone have any suggestions, for having a foam mattress made?
I finally got my interim trailer on the road for a test and found the
built in sleeping pad to be PAINFULLY inadequate. Basically I need
maybe a 3-4" pad to go over a 2" permanently mounted, way too soft,
foam rubber pad. Otherwise, the maiden voyage of my temporary
home, to be, appears to be a success.

I just ordered a bumper sticker that says,

I Want To Be An
AIRSTREAM

To appreciate this, picture it on the back of a 40"X 60" mini pop-up
trailer, that looks more like a large ice chest on 2 lawn mower wheels,
than a RV. Now think of it being pulled behind a '95 Suburban. The
trailer is a Kompact Kamp Mini-Mate, weighing about 300#. With a
couple strong backs, I could just pick it up and slide it inside the
Suburban.
Any suggestions for a mattress will be appreciated.

Walmart was where I got the idea. The problem I have is that I need a 2-3 or 4 piece
solution because of the internal geometry of this thing. I can make a full size pad work
but it will be a little inconvenient, in anything other than the 'sleep' configuration. I suppose
I could get one of theirs, cut it and repackage it but I am trying to avoid turning this into
$500 worth of work to avoid spending an extra $200 to do it right the first time.

In a word - Walmart. They sell soft foam topping material in 2", 3", and 4" and they sell mattress toppers made of memory foam that are already prepped and covered. They come in sizes twin, double, queen and king and are about 2" thick. If the soft foam is what you need, and as you mentioned, this is an interim camper, the foam is inexpensive. If you want a more permanent solution, then the memory foam, although more expensive, is much more desireable.

It comes packaged all folded and rolled up, in a plastic bucket type drum. One must open it, spread it out, and allow it to return to normal.
