    Getting into the repairs Major rebuild !!!!

    I have had very good luck with this product Corroseal 1 gal. Rust Converter Primer-82331 - The Home Depot it has to be ordered but does not take too long to arrive. It has a very long shelf life. Be careful cleaning the loose rust, wear gloves and safety googles and a dust mask. I hope your...

    Getting into the repairs Major rebuild !!!!

    Actually I used laun, 1/4 but I should have used the plywood because the quality of the laun that was available was not the best. I was to 3 different stores and should have opted for the 1/4 plywood at the first store. I do realize that I have to remain on my toes to avoid leaks because water...

    Getting into the repairs Major rebuild !!!!

    It's all done with the exception of removing the hydraulics and putting the new tires on and de-winterizing when the time comes. I also need to get the furnace working, I think I have a dirty sensor and I need to remove the whole unit to get to it.

    Getting into the repairs Major rebuild !!!!

    missing in action here, update.... Well, the 94 turned out to be way worse than anticipated, there were 2 options, scrap it, or repair it. I decided to repair it, and to that end it is now a NO-Lo. I made a complete new camper from the bottom half up and bolted side frames to the bottom and...

    cutting a snug window opening.

    Thanks for the reply. It is not going to be done for a while unless it warms up but getting it level is a priority and using the bottom seems logical but is something I hadn't thought about.

    cutting a snug window opening.

    Hi friends. I am completely rebuilding the top half of my 94 hilo and I have a side almost ready to go. I need to cut 2 new window openings and I want to do it right. I have nothing from the old side to give me a proper size opening other than a close location so I will have to use the...

    Cutting back to 4500 My wife says she wants to keep our 94 so I have to part with this one. $4500. It needs both sides fixed and a good handyman can do it. I am doing the 94 and it doesn't seem to be too bad a job and I am redesigning the sides:). It has the rear bedroom with the queen size...

    Sad to say goodbye to Hi-Lo and the Forum

    Photos of our 1986 Fun Chaser for sale

    It would be smart to start a new thread when you have a problem, that way more folks would catch it. Youtube has some good video on setting up an awning. It isn't hard but there are things needed to be done. Charlie

    Remember the Long Long Trailer

    Where they pulled a 6000 pound trailer for the most part with a 53 Mercury 105 horsepower flat head V8 (a Lincoln Capri was used in one scene because they needed that big 205 horsepower engine on the mountain:D). well, look at this and read the review. While at the SEMA convention - welcome to...

    Getting into the repairs Major rebuild !!!!

    We just closed out the month with over 7 inches of rain so progress has been very minimal. I could really use a place inside to work but I don't have that luxury. I am hoping the weather becomes a little more cooperative . I have been cutting my grass in sections, and cutting it wet just...

    120 volt lights.

    Years ago there were light fixtures in houses like you describe. They were not grounded receptacles, nor did they have GFI in them. Trying to find them today would be a tough job. You probably have one that was wired for some 110 as well as 12V. My old Coachmen has 110 receptacles, but all the...

    Repair Water damage on wall?

    Fred, seal the moldings around the roof and check the windows, they too may need sealed. Those blisters usually mean more than just wall paper. I hope you are lucky.

    new to me 8225 camper

    I forgot to mention, you may need some oversize screws if you find some that aren't holding. Go with a bigger diameter, not length.

    new to me 8225 camper

    Be sure to take the moldings off around the top and seal them and the clearance lights as well. This is where my major leaks were. You should probably get some new stainless steel screws to replace what is there. I got 500 form ebay for a good price, but I am told the Fastenall stores are...
