Tambo Camper still going

Well done and yep that's the point of a niche Forum - try finding info posted 1 week ago on Facebook yet alone 10 years ago. Old info is often relevant and there's a huge repository of detail in the Forum archives.

I sprayed the worst of the surface rust with phosphoric acid before cleaning it down then giving 2 coats of White Knight hammertone Charcoal paint colour. Tried rollering it on plus spray cans, found the spray cans were a much better method, couldn't really achieve the hammer finish no matter what nap roller I tried. In total used 4-5 spray cans plus a litre by roller. Might be a bit light in spots and would take maybe 10 cans to do a full 2 coats all round and underneath. Very happy with the result though.

Also scrubbed the bejeebus out of tarps using vinegar 1:3 in water, which removed the couple of layers of red dust that had apparently been on there for 5+ years. Came up looking like new. All such tough materials used, given they're now 13-14 years old. The tent canvas is all still really good and had been kept pretty clean by the 2 layers of tarps that the Tambo comes with.

Sorry it took me a while to work out how to post a photo :)
