Hi Tommie,

I found spots on the floor of my '79 that were white like that. I'm not sure if it's a glue they used or if it's mold. Either way, the gray area looks like where water got to it at...

Hi Tommie,

How your bottom piece of metal was wedged in- I believe this is due to the trailer body sagging. Since your trailer is the earlier design where the walls were mounted to the outside of...

That's great news about the wiring, Tommie! Hopefully that is really all it is. I agree, it's time to just pack it up and go camping!

Hi Tommie,

It's possible your readings are slightly skewed by the air being pretty humid too, due to the rain. I would be surprised, unless you still had huge gaps on the outside, that that much...

Hi Tommie,

The rock guard consists of a fiberglass insert panel in an aluminum frame, with aluminum rear supports and lift arms. The frame is indeed aluminum, just factory painted unlike the rear...

Looks good Tommie! Yeah that old seal was pretty nasty, good call on replacing it.

The roof seams are interesting. Almost looks like someone just painted them thick with house paint, for them to...

Good idea. These Ventline parts are easy enough to find still too, so that certainly helps.

Last year, I painted one of my shrouds and screens because they turned yellow. The shroud cracked...

Pretty much all the Sunlines I bought used had moldy vent gaskets. They aren't easy to access to clean, as you know you have to disassemble a lot of the vent to do that, so people just don't. I...

Looks great Tommie!! I really like the red and cream, it seems to compliment well with the wood.

On the water pump, since I just went through this, there are a few things to check. Check the...

Tommie, does the can indicate a temperature range to apply it? I'm wondering if you might be too cold now to apply it.

I completely understand your concern with crawling under it, especially when...

Generally I've heard no, there's no need to second coat the frame rails. If I used the stuff, I would top coat it all. If you don't do the whole thing, I would at least do the visible part in the...

Glad it all worked out Tommie! I'm sure it was a pain to have to tear it apart again, but at least you know it's done right now. Beats trying to fill it with another piece of trim or something.

Oh nice, it looks like a full RV cover enclosure. I'm sure it's a pain to remove it every time you want to work on it, but it will certainly pay off in the long run.

Hi Tommie,

Dicor should be fine for the door plate holes. The top holes might be into wood, the bottom ones are probably only in styrofoam.

These doors are a pretty poor design, they will all...

Whether it's the right process or not, I don't know, but after I install something, I usually go around it and tuck the excess butyl back in with a plastic putty knife, and trim where needed. Just...

Yep, I can still find the lens every so often, but not the whole assembly. That Bargman handle used a completely different lens from the one above though, it was 3D vs. flat plastic.

Your originals are hex head, right?

Phillips could work, but I think they have a greater chance of stripping and not having as much torque on them. I'd see about using #2 square heads as a next...

Not really. It's pretty much like a big window. The biggest thing is frame alignment, since the door frame itself is pretty flimsy. Maybe if you can wedge some shims in between the door and frame...

So the problem is more that the heads are rusty and the socket won't catch, not that the screws are locked in and the socket strips the head trying to loosen?
