Advice and knowledge needed on 1850

[JD-Hogg]

Well I finally finished up the loft and B-room in the 1850 but haven't posted pics of the finished product yet of which I'm really proud of. Had to give her a couple test runs in the mountains! I just call her the Hilton now...lol .Now, on to the next ventures which will be an awning and re-striping! Anyone have any nifty ideas or links on a good homemade awning? I have a plan but would like some outside input. Also, my striping is of coarse old and cracked and am looking for the easiest way possible to remove it. I heard that 3M makes a good product. Any advise?
