I did just the 2’ or so that peeled back from the front cap.

I tried some 1 1/4” self tappers and couldn’t get them to go in. So went with the 3M and rivets. Would have liked to get some screws in

2 piece Aluminum with the Big buck rivets down the center.

Yeah installing my Talin plates gave me the idea for the 3M. Good to know on the expansion. I’ll have to keep an eye on it. I almost bought the fast cure version, but feared if I had a blow out I’d be in trouble and end up with the grinder.

I bought 1/2” Rivets and got just enough bite in them to suck it in. I was worried as well and was ready to Jamb a 2x4 staked in the ground up against it.

Realized I should be posting here. Anyway if moderators want to move the last few topics to here, great! So I noticed the roof had let go and pulled back about 2’ in length. It made sense on how to do the repair. But after digging into it, the rivets failed, and there is a strip bonded to the sidewalk and the roof rivets into that strip. Well they didn’t hit the holes right at the factory, missed some of the strip. I was worried about using rivets again, tried a self tap screw to no avail. While this might not be the right application, I decided to use 3M marine adhesive. The stuff is solid once cured. After cleaning up and drilling out some rivets, I gave it a go. And it set up nice. today got the trim piece in and caulked the strip. Turned out way better than I thought it would.

I’ve seen those on James’s YouTube channel. Pretty slick

Yeah these are new, lippert. They had some wonky topper that you could pull down over the window and secure it to the side. The topper itself was too short to make it to the ends of the slide. So never sure if it’s value. These cover the whole slide, feel a little more protection from leaks

LOL yeah the Miami Vise era

Did the bed slide last year and just wanted to get out and have fun, so put this one off till now. Ran into solid frame on one side so of course the screws broke instantly. Drilled out and ran some sheet metal self tappers

Sika 715

Thanks! It’s a one piece skylight, and I used the rivet gun. Just the right about of tension to squish the self leveling without breaking the plastic. Worked slick

Well, weather is turning fast so got it in. I’ll have to come back and maybe do what Gary did, add some tape to cover the stained areas from the tar. Maybe tape off and add more Sika Used everyone of these tools

Looks great! Man the tar tape is tough

We noticed water in the inner skylight. I thought hey, if the RV geeks can do get it done, so can I. Well, yeah for pop rivets

I use a black toilet plunger with a slit in it for our electric cord. Now the Sewer hose is a tough one.

They are PITA’s for sure I’ve done really good with the foam, none are “in” living areas of the Coach now. We are trying out the whole rope light around our toy hauler now and so far so good. We don’t get out to it but once a week and nothing. I have traps set now, up in the attic and we will see.

Wife found some extremely old poo and now we are in DEFCON 4 I thought I heard something, so started pounding on the ceiling. I get this weird castanet noise. It’s between 2 trusses, on the other side of the ducting. Pulled a speaker out and fished a camera in, oh boy. Found an old stash of seeds. So now I have a new “access” hole and rigging different hose configurations to get the dancing seeds out and a trap up. The whole park we stayed at a few years ago surrounded a woman who was dropping bird seed everywhere, thinking she was Snow White and the mice were in most rv because. Here’s to getting them out. I have a big punch list already on the coach and this wasn’t on it Here’s my set up and in case you want to know what the trusses look like. And some seeds

I’d venture to say there is not a hole under then. There wasn’t with the big dome sat.

The big dome? Mine is gone, they just left the mounts there so there were no holes to get leaks. On the traveler. My wires do not go straight down, they go out. I doubt there is a hole under mine. Where are your wires? They make a base plate to go on to help mount the traveler. If you don’t already have it, you could use it to cover over any ring you find

Extremely sorry. That is a long time do have a pup in the family. You will be lost for quite some time. Hoping you can remember all the great memories she gave you to keep you going.

Congrats! 06, Cummins 400 has an EGR?

If it’s out of warranty what does it matter? Unless you’re talking super high dollar Newell or Prevost, most of the RVs today share so many of the components. A lot of repairs are appliances, seals/damage, slides, etc. These are all shared components between manufacturers.

Yes, went with a fairly inexpensive unit, a Boss. I removed my old BW camera screen as well. The Boss has av inputs, so the camera is on its screen full time along with apple car play. It has 2 usb plugs, one rubs the CarPlay and the other charges a iPad mini I use for navigation It was a fairly easy install I had a piece of plastic cut to go over the whole set up. I didn’t have it hydro dipped to match the carbon fiber look of the rest of the dash, but I think I looks pretty good. If you want pics I can dig them up
