Okay, getting all systems up and running and I cannot find the actual fuel capacity for my Allegro's fuel tank! She's a P30 chassis, 1987 with a 454 Chevy. I measured the tank on the driver side and get approximately 15" high x 28" wide x 67" long!! Wow! That's about 28,000 cubic inches taking into consideration considerable tank wall thinkness. At 231 cu. in/ gallon you get about 121 gallons! Is this right? I've heard everything from 75 to 110 gallons for this model. Anyone know?

Has anyone had luck using the Rustoleum version of that Leak Sealer spray? I used it a lot on the Tioga and that product actually had a true white instead of a almond white. The spray seemed to do the job really well as long as you didn't overdo it.

yup had a leak over breaker panel in bedroom... was from the rail joint... after inspecting painting sealing every thing possible on the top of the roof... finally saw that... sealed that.. no more leak.  I'm usually up on roof yearly wiht a tube of white exterior caulk and a clear tube too. LOL...

Oh and the fridge - I know. When I turn on the fridge I pull it onto the driveway and level it. When it's not in use it's parked in a dirt/gravel spot where it's impossible to get it level. The water runs off the left, rear corner which coincidentally keeps the water away from all the trouble spots.

So the water comes in that joint and then down in through the pedestals? I hadn't thought of that.

I had the roof rack leak from where the joints were in the top of hte rack.. not the pedestals...   The only worry about sitting not level is that the fridge if RV type needs to be parked level or nearly level.   my drivers side window up by dash has a leak the sill is always full of water and the paneling around rotted but know that is a can of worms... so reseal around it with silicone after cleaning it next dry time agian... always something.

Yes I guess it's time for more Liquid Roof. It worked great the first season. The second season I had one leak reappear. I sealed it with Dicor tape and did a bunch of other rack pedestals as well. Now I've got a few others opened back up. One of the few good things about living on a steeply sloped property is that the water runs right off the roof without fining any leaks. But it had been sitting in my dad's level driveway for the past couple of months. I have a leak by the cab that I know is the rack, but the one by the entry door baffles me. The rack is sealed with Liquid Roof and Dicor tape yet the interior light above the door is filling up with water. I thought it might be the fridge vent but it's sealed up pretty well too.

Gone made it back up to Cinnaminson NJ for Brad's wedding over the weekend. uneventful journey up and back thankfully.  SAIL switch in furnace still bad...  thinking I may dremel cut out a few side vent grid pieces of furnace housing so I can access the switch vs taking apart kitchen to get it out... but don't know if that will affect air flow over the dang switch.. was looking at it as I had time to Saturday morning. 

    as for roof rack and leaks.. I've been fairly religious since owning Gone about cleaning, caulking, then coating her roof with elastomerized paint every 2 years...  biggest PITA is scrubbing it and rinsing the result off the sides... before it dries.. that said I need to scrub the screw cover before this weekends fall trip.. as well as the rims..  we just plug in a ceramic heater inside until I get the furnace up and running.. may as well use the campground electricity than our propane anyway... :-)

I here you on the adventure part. Been trying to get my furnace to work dependablely. One actuator sticks in valve but I think I've got it. I've squeezed my baby next to the barn the biggest problem I have is the tail swing with all that over hang but getting used to it. Head down to Salt Fork state park for some Halloween camping so the furnace is pretty important.

Thanks Philip. It's all part of the adventure. The Liquid Roof I applied seems to have shrunk a bit over the past couple of years. The roof rack on the Allegro is a classic look but puts a couple dozen holes through the roof. That's where the leaks are. I have some Dicor tape I can try. The parking brake thing was just a "duh" moment. Wondered why it was so sluggish :)

In other news I'm getting much better at squeezing it into its spot at my "new" place. No longer a white-knuckle exercise. I know how to swing it so I can do a proper K-turn into its spot. It's still super tight, but I'm used to it now. Only hit the fence once this time!
