Thanks, Kaye. We've been reluctant to try them for fear of the cost, but we have a lot invested in the RV (emotionally, anyway, at this point), so it would be a good idea to get things done right. Seems like they might be a good way to go for qual...
Hi, Sara. I have had excellent luck with Camping World in Fort Worth and there is one located on the Katy Freeway in Houston. They stand behind their work and the work they did for me was great!
I hadn't thought of CraigsList. That sounds like it may have some potential. Thanks for getting back to me on this!
Hello Sara, Pat Daly thought I might be of some help ... I have a handyman husband who does that kind of thing for my trailer. You might call a local RV repair shop and inquire there. Even CraigsList may be a solution. Post an inquiry there for an...
Does anyone have any recommendations for how to find an honest, affordable, knowledgeable electrician to handle the wiring of our 1970 Ungers Crown Commander? We're in Katy, Texas, and are having a hard time finding someone to work on an RV. And w...
Now this is going to be a rebuild...VK

- Sara,
What a joy to hear from you ... and to see the photos of your new baby! What an awesome project! I have to admit I'd never heard of an Ungers Crown Commander, since my focus is mainly on vintage (pre-1970 model) travel trailers. Still, your motorhome is a real beauty and shows a great deal of promise. I hope you will continue to post photos and keep us all updated. Good luck and welcome to the group!

you might also enjoy the pictures of a group called Sistersonthefly.com their under our vintage links. the way they restore and "theme" their vintage trailers is really something.

Got up to roof level at the weekend and found one of the top market lights was loose ( screws had broken ) and it was sitting proud of the bodywork, not a good idea when there's an inch diameter hole underneath for the wires!!!
Took light right of...
If I were there I could find your leak. But at first look I would automatically suspect that your front window was put in with the factory sealing tape. (its garbage) There is a black butel tape that is commonly used in cars when the winshield is ...
I would pull the window and install new putty tape under the flange. That will also give you a chance to inspect the framing around the window. Also, the edge trim and roof cap seam are very bad for leaking. If you can take the edge trim loose and...
David, that's great! Keep us posted on your upgrades and travels. pat
Hey thanks Pat, so far I am loving it. I drove it about 300 miles home and it drove like a charm. Mileage was even ok for a box on wheels. I'll post more and better pics later.
Ah....that's where one of my big leaks was - near the window. That area flexes A LOT. I had a 73 El Dorado - and loved it. Wish I still had it. Yep. Dry it totally out - under cover/roof if possible. There's some wonderful wood treatment I used (s...
No it's "new" to us, its a 1974 Dodge Sportsman with a Continental body. I have started taking the floor boards out on the top bunk and its very wet. I have found what looks like a hole around the front window and at least one of the top marker/ru...
hi. yep, looks ok on the outside bvut crank and connecting bearings are shot. these are a couple months old. motot was rebuile and she's up and running. i will take a pic of the new motor and post as soon as i can. wayne
If it is "New" in the sense it is TOTALLY new, take it back to the dealer. If it is just new to you, and not under warranty you'll be looking for a long time. If it's in your budget take it to an RV place and let them pressurize it/test it. That'l...
You're welcome Gail. I have a dog and worry about cats and other animals accidentally ingesting anything. I also have an autoimmune disease so any kind of chemical treatments really set it off and I end up covered in hives! Ick. The hives I can ha...
Wayne, actually this engine looks really good... from the exterior at least. Are you going to rebuild it or repower? Is so, what's goind in and do you think there will be any challenges hooking up to the exiting tranny, wiring, etc?
really clean! looks like brand new.
