    roof

    I had to buy a 1' x 2' piece of diamond plate aluminum from Lowe's yesterday for a little trailer repair. I'm not lying when I tell you it was $35.00 for that little scrap, including tax. Unless you happen to be in the business, you might want to start by pricing what different materials cost...

    roof

    Playing devil's advocate here, but why in the world would you put Kool Seal, a product that would tend to peel eventually over the top of diamond plate aluminum? And how would you treat/join the seams on the roof once you tackle this project?

    stabilizer jacks

    Chicken, any hardware store will have a 3/8 square socket. It will simply be an 8 sided socket; that won't be a problem. What I don't understand is exactly what Jack ^^^ was telling you above. Actually, that was phrased incorrectly. I understand Jack, but not your given situation. I have...

    Hey everyone this is my hilo

    Congrat's on your purchase, good price, too! Keep in mind that the old fridge would be 34 years old. The odds of it working correctly would be fairly slim. A replacement similar to what came in the trailer is more than what you have invested right now. A smaller fridge like you have...

    1987 FunChaser 22L

    Welcome to the forum. This is one of the best forums on the 'net. Great people and good info! Brenda and I would recommend two short three day week-end trips to iron out all the little things that might get in the way on a long, cross-country trip. It helps when you can set things up in a...

    Lift Fixed, All RV, Burleson, TX

    ESM, it is good to find a shop and people that will do what they say they will do. And also great that their customers will "rat them out" so the rest of us can profit by their service.

    Confused

    30 ears old would be the first thing I looked at. Yes, the other three might be a problem, but not like being 30 years old.

    Stove hood/fan upgrade

    I searched but couldn't find the thread where this was posted previously so I thought I better give credit where due. I ordered and installed the SAM-1 vent fan and light upgrade kit from this site: FabulousOperatingProducts Start to finish I spent about 2 hours following directions. Everything...

    2006 25' what's right tow vehicle?

    "A 1500 pickup hasn't been referred to a 1/2 ton for probably 30 years" This coming from a minivan owner.....kind Sir, you are close to having to turn in your man-card. In minivan circles I have no idea how a 1500 might be referred, but in the world of pickups, a 1500 is still a 1/2 ton...

    I never thought !

    Just a great post, Treeclimber! The vast majority of people out in RV land have no idea when their tires were manufactured. Most forums among all brands of RV's will agree that at the end of about six years it is time to "retire" your rig. We have our spare mounted under our trailer, but if...

    Electrical issues

    Motorpig, I can't believe the guy just GAVE it to you. Such a deal.....Take your time with this little electrical problem, fix things correctly and you'll have a fine trailer. Look for your 12V fuse box in odd locations,. First place to look is in the bathroom areas, for instance INSIDE the...

    Steel tubing in side wall

    Danny, contact any of your local sheet metal/louver shops, those that make louvers for new homes and the like. It is not uncommon for them to have metal benders that will handle your problem.

    Long Trip

    Here is a website that will spot the RV dump sites for you on your trip. Some states have none on the interstate and some have a lot. Greg, this will be a learning experience for you. I know you will be SO excited about the added dump stations in your state. Rest Areas with RV Dump

    Long Trip

    Don, it is very common these days to spend the night in a WalMart parking lot or a Cracker Barrel parking lot. Also very common are dump stations at most interstate rest stops. They are generally located on the way out of the rest area.

    Morman Tea

    Gregg, thanks for the reminder of foods and beverages past. It made me think of my days of youth when my grandmother made saffron bread for my dad and my grandfather. This also was a "either you like it or you don't" food. My wife sent me into the pharmacy many years ago to buy a small amount...

    Another NOOB here

    What they ^^^^^all said. Plus one more thing to "rain on your parade." The trailer was last licensed in 2007. That means that the tires are at least nine years old. In the RV business that means that they are twice as old as what is acceptable. The internet is full of stories about blown...

    Some days go better than others.

    Sam, our thoughts are with you and your husband. Let me also remind people who might be sending their prayers your way that the young lady who was ultimately responsible for this incident is probably in need of a little consolation and prayer also. Couldn't hurt, huh?
