The Kool Seal seems to have done the trick. After hours of scrubbing the roof clean and removing the loose parts of the old coating I put two coats of the Kool seal on. It dried just in time for the storm to move in Saturday night. After a night of heavy rain and on and off showers on Sunday it...

After doing a little homework yesterday I found that people have had good luck with Kool Seal. It has all the same properties as the Dicor coating at half the cost and it comes with a 7 year Garuntee. Scrubbing the roof clean now and hoping that I'll be able to get the first coat on today. Our...

Thanks, Sam. Someone had used regular silicone caulk in the past and it was all dried out. I've replaced every bit of caulk with Dicor Lap Sealant. Leveling on the roof and non sag everywhere else. It seems that there may still be some leaks from the roof under heavy rain so I'm looking at the...

We've now been working on this for a few weeks. We removed the old materials and determined that the leaks appeared to be around the seam under the top trim. Camping World recommended Dicor Lap Sealant for all of the seams. I took off the trim, removed all of the old caulk and tape, applied a...

I'm going to have to assume that nothing has ever been changed. I know that the prior owner noticed pitting in the roof and when they contacted Hi-Lo for advice they were given information on a thick coating that they applied. I see many references to J&R but haven't found any information on...

After two days of gutting we're finally down to the skin on both side walls and the ceiling. i left the foam in the sections that weren't wet on the ceiling but for the most part it came out. Will be caulking around everything. My only question is how to properly seal along the roof line where...

Looks like I've got my work cut out. I'd say the roof has been leaking for years and has gone unnoticed. The entire right side of the top was soaked when I pulled the wall boards off. Although I was planning on replacing the boards, I was not planning on replacing the foam. I'm thinking the...

Looks great! Just brought our 1987 Fun Chaser home yesterday. Yours looks to be in a bit better condition as ours has some water damage to the walls that I'll have to replace. Hope you enjoy it as much as we will!

Thanks for the tip Rich. They've owned it since 2007 and have always covered it with a tarp for the winter so I didn't think anything of it when helping them cover it up last winter after we gave them a down payment to hold it till spring. Is there something better that we should cover it with...

Sam, There is no law in NY requiring all four tires to match. Dunn Tire is simply trying to get you to buy four new tires. With a 4 wheel drive vehicle it is highly recommended that all four tires match and have a uniform tread depth to ensure that all four tires are rotating at the same speed...

Glad to hear that they are thin. What I'm thinking of should work well then. I don't believe the water damage is from the roof as it was dry when we looked at it in the fall and it has been covered since then. Regardless, as long as I'm removing the wall paneling, what is the best material to...

Thanks for the replies. Aside from a few marker lights being out there were no issues getting it home. Didn't worry about replacing the lights as I was towing during the day. The jeep didn't have much trouble pulling it but is definitely underpowered. I didn't take it over 55, which meant taking...

They purchased the camper from Wratten's RV in Adams, NY where their son works. They replaced the ceiling and wall panels so I'm assuming that they are not the factory lights. I plan on replacing them once we have it home with something more energy efficient. I will also be removing / changing...

Now that the winter is over, we are finally bringing our new (to us) hi-lo home either tomorrow or Saturday. I just want to be sure that I'm not over looking anything before hitting the road. Camper: 1987 22' Hi-Lo Fun Chaser Tow Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo (3.7L V6) I know that...

Thanks for the prompt responses. We only looked at this quick over the weekend as we were also preparing for Sandy. I believe it is 17' and I don't believe we would have a need to tow it with any of the tanks full. It also has all original tires so those will need to be replaced before we are...

We are going to purchase a 1987 Hi-Lo from family that has been well cared for. We're getting it for a good price and they are throwing in the weight distributing hitch so it sweetened the deal. My concern however is the trailer weight. I couldn't find anything on it stating the weight when it...
