Step 1 - Remove the existing RV trim and prep for the new trim. Remove nails and glue.

Step 2 - Measure your space to know what size boards you need to purchase. We used 1″x8″x8′ pine boards for the vertical pieces and 1″x10″x12′ pine boards for the horizontal pieces on the top of each slide.

Step 3 - Prep your boards. This includes cutting, sanding, cleaning, staining, and sealing them.
