Home depot, Lowes, Ace hardware,, and pretty much any place that would also sell glass and plumbing supplies, and of course RV places
Looks like rolled Caulking
Where would I get butyl tape? I have never heard of it before
Sectional replacement poses its own challenges. First and foremost you have to remove the rotted wood to a sturdy cross member, and its advisable to add a couple cross ribs for added strength.
Make sure the new replacement flooring is flush with original flooring. If at all possible, if it's near a doorway, to treat the flooring with a water inhibitor. Doing so will give you many many trouble free years, and a very solid sound floor.
As for door glass, the framing is screwed into the door, and several glass places still carry the size glass you would need. (Older cottages from the 40' and 50's used about the same glass for there front and back doors.) Just be sure when replacing the glass and frame into the door,, USE Butyl tape to make a nice tight seal. (doors flex and are vulnerable to window leaks if not properly sealed.)
The quickest answer for a floor replacement is to go to youtube & see what is posted there. That's what scares me about my rotting section ... not knowing how to do a sectional replacement.
Yeah, I don't know what kind of inset either. That's just my way of a quick fix.The flooring should be replaced in that area just the same. As crazy as the weather has been so far, I haven't taken the time to really look in side that area. I just know one " need to fix " item will lead to another.
Does anyone know how to replace the window in a door of a trailer and how to replace part of a floor that is rotting?
Your trailer looks so good. Had to laugh when you wrote that you recovered the cushions in camo. I am recovering mine in blue stripes. I don't know what kind of "insert" on the floor problem. Shouldn't the floor just be ripped up and replaced? I am a carpenter's daughter but I will tell you that I know NOTHING about carpentry. I plan on cleaning the paneling and putting on a clear varnish on it. Well good luck with your deer hunting and your trailer.
Hafta say, Thats a fine looking trailer. L@@ks good.
Also, I'm going to add diamond tread plating to the front underneath the red stripe, the same for a window shield & rebuild the rear compartment door using the same material.
I'm in Ohio. My immediate plans for camping is just for deer camp outings. So only a few times year. Sounds terrible I know. So far, I just recently refaced some inside paneling & re upholstered all the cushions in camo. I installed a drip edge over the rear outside compartment door. The flooring inside that is rotting. I want to install a insert of some sort. I have a bit more panel refacing to do. I also plan on using satin white for the outside to make it look newer.
