I noticed the underbody fabric is tearing where the steel cross members contact the aluminum floor structure. What little I can see under the fabric leads me to believe that the aluminum is severely corroded. Fortunately the floor structure above does not appear soft or deformed in any way. I'm...

Thru experimentation I will try to attach 5/8 inch plywood to aluminum framing using a 1 1/2 inch long #10 sheet metal screws as follows: first: drill a 3/16 pilot hole in the 5/8 inch plywood and don't mess with the aluminum behind the plywood at all. This allows the #10 screw to slip when the...

Hey fellow campers! Finally upgraded to a much better PUP and we're pretty happy about it. The only thing I'm trying to figure out is the side panel(aluminum covering?) seems to be out of it's proper groove/placement. Anyone have any idea how to get this back where it belongs? Hopefully the...

While working on wiring today I took out the lauan panels in an outside locker and discovered water damage. The right front corner of the floor is separated from the nose cap and allowing water in. I assume splashes in off the road. I haven't explored the problem much because I had to finish...

I have a 2020 Salem 19dbxl. The aluminum panel on the rear next to the taillights is corroding. See attached photos. I didn't think the aluminum would corrode like this. Has anyone else seen this problem and found a solution? I'm tempted to just put an aluminum patch on it but I'm afraid it...

On a 7 week, cross country trip in our Puma Palomino 28BHSS. I noticed this in the mirror while going 65mph down I90 in South Dakota. (Mounted my phone on the window). Driving though 20-30 mph crosswinds. Looks like a bulge in the front left side when driving 40 or more mph. I don't think...

My 2000 Hawk is on the dolly and I just finished resealing and painting the wood base. Next step is to repair a hole on the front of the camper where the aluminum has rubbed against the bed creating a small hole. Next step is to repair the hole as well as fill a couple leftover holes from...

I have a 2010 Salem with no screens! The majority of the windows are curved aluminum frames and I want to build screens for them. Any thoughts (other than velro) on how to build a framed screen that can attach to the aluminum frame (not magnetic) The top corners are ninety degrees and the bottom...

Anyone every cover their de-lam with sheet Aluminum? A coworker of mine has a 12 year old trailer that is delaminating at the nose and we were discussing the easiest way to fix it. I suggested a thin sheet of aluminum the length of that panel all the way up to the roof and adding a new...

Im looking for aluminum framing, with tandem axles. First time campers, but want aluminum ( we think?) Which model is the best bang for the buck? new or a few years old.

Thanks to everyone who posted remarks on my previous tire posting. That was a great example of what this forum is about. Now it’s time to discuss wheels. Our Berkshire XL 40E came with aluminum wheels Al around. Truthfully, I haven’t done much but wash them. I’d like to shine them to their...

What does everyone use for polishing the Aluminum wheels? We have a 39A new to us and I like Chrome shine and I want to polish them up before the season. Any suggestions Greatly appreciated! I looked a Renegade and its hard to ask them or create a kit to polish the wheels.

Has anyone put a USA sticker map (or large stickers) on aluminum siding? Im thinking of adding a 50 state map to the back wall but worried the siding would make it look too wavy. All the pictures I could find online are stickers on fiberglass/smooth surface. I could put it on the front of the...

I recently washed my '16 Wildwood 30'QBSS to prepare for winter. I used a bottle of Fastball Degreaser that I had a work to get some of the black streaks off. Worked well for that, however now I'm left with all sorts of streaks on the aluminum siding. It looks like it's oxidized almost. Looking...

Hello all, I am new to the high low trailer bunch and my buddy and I each picked one up, is a 1990, and mine 1989. I have an aluminum roof and he had dry rot in his roof which was a rubber membrane. Is there a way to get a hold of the metal roof to retrofit his unit with the same aluminum roof I...

Hoping there's a WP guru who can answer my question. Did Forest River make a Work and Play that has the aluminum roof and Azdel exterior walls? If yes, what year(s) and what model(s). Thank you! Jackie

We have a 2012 Silverback 29RE in the silver/gray color combo. We had a blowout and it ripped up the lower aluminum panel on one of the slideouts. I have searched all over and have not been successful in locating the panel. Any ideas would be great. Luis Garcia

We currently have a '21 Forest River 21FBRS and have enjoyed using it the last two seasons. We have decided with our three dogs, it's just not big enough so we're looking at larger TTs. The 21FBRS has a fiberglass exterior and a couple of the longer units we're looking at have aluminum...

Purchasing a trailer for near full time use boondocking down rough Forest Service and BLM roads. Not off-roading but uneven terrain of dispersed camping. Will the Wolf Pup's (16fq no slide) construction and material quality hold up long term for use by a single average sized adult? The Geo Pro...

So the RV I bought is a 2005 FR Cedar Creek. Looking at videos on construction of these Cedar Creeks, the exterior sidewalls and roof trusses are made from aluminum. Was that still the case back in 2005?

My bottom part of the RV where the AZDEL fiberglass walls meet the OSB floor, they install a rounded aluminum molding and this is common and it requires a ton of caulk all the time. I am sick of running a bead of caulk on this and want to have something more permanent. Why not buy 3" Black...

We have lost our 3rd simulator (hubcap) on our steel wheels. We have stainless steel zip ties on them. So, looking to upgrade to aluminum wheels. Asking for input on Alcoa vs Hispec, do all 6 wheels or just 4, where to buy? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have looked everywhere and I cannot figure out how to unlock the mini blind in the kitchen so I can turn handles to open window??
