Hi all
Here is a pic of my Clipper at a campground in the Michigan U.P. and a pic crossing the Mackinaw bridge. Also the Lake Superior shoreline.

And a few more, the last is proof that a 31 series Trojan deep cycle floor scrubber battery will fit (barely) in our Clippers! ----78#'s of joy and power!!!

Morning Jerry;
Thanks for sharing the pics. The paint job looks nice and keeps your Clip looking as good as most new C's on the road. Ever since I saw your dome mod, your Clip reminded me of something I couldn't put my finger on. Until this morning. Your Clip looks like you added an AWACS array!

Thanks---I think :D
While I was installing the 3/4 neoprene insulation in the dome I considered first covering the inside with heavy duty aluminum foil to reflect heat. Then I let my mind wander a bit and thought of such things as lightning storms, micro wave transmissions and border crossing xray scans and just decided to skip it :-\

Hi Jerry,
I was amazed when I saw your pictures you just posted. You have really done a great job on your rig. My frame of reference is that I just bought my Clipper before snow fell a few months back. I am still learning about these rvs. You have created high possibilites for these rigs. Seeing that they are all getting pretty old our imagination is crucial for our remodeling ideas. Enjoy.

Hi Bob
Thanks for the kind words! I do enjoy working on the Clipper, it really lends it self to modification by the way Irv designed and built it along with his choice of materials. Tell me about your rig, year, engine, floor plan. Is it ready to go or does it need some work? I bought mine from the original owners in 05 not too far from you in Midland Michigan. It spent it's first 25 years in Pennsylvania until dad gave it to daughter in 03, but she decided to sell it as it needed more work than they could do and could not afford to hire it all done.
Now that we have two of us here in Michigan I suggest we start the Great Lakes Chapter of the ACOC.
Since I have seniority I am going to make you President, I will be Treasurer and the dues will be $50.00 and you can send it to me anytime :D Our first rally will be at my place in Kalamazoo, only $40.00 a night with a three night minimum of course! Firewood is $2.00 a stick (nice big ones) and you can run your generator all night if you want because there is only one hook-up and it's mine ::) Maybe we can meet up some time this summer, any good campgrounds in the thumb?
