Going to the Dogs!!!

This K9 (All American) dog trailer just rolled off the assembly line. Each box is vented and has forced air. Sweet. Sometimes we get to do fun projects for our 4 legg'ed friends :). Enjoy

INHERITED 79 DODGE JAMBOREE

I'm new to this site and to rving. I have started restoring/rebuilding this rv, we found a ton of water damage in the hangover and in the rear. The sub floor seems stout. But I have a few questions, first does any one know if the 78 dodge 440 had the hardend exhaust valves and seats? Also is the outside wood paneling necassary when i go back together or can I just hang the siding back on without it? And has anyone had good luck of painting the paneling?

My New to me 76 Roran

Hi there!  New to RVing and just purchased a 1976 Roran travel trailer.  I have never heard of this travel trailer and I cannont find any information regarding this trailer.  Any ideas?

I was impressed at the overall condition of the trailer.  Don't get me wrong, it needs some work, but it seems to be in pretty good shape.  Needs some work on the floor, the ceiling vents have a slight seep, nothing unexpected though.

On the short list is replacing a couple soft spots in the…
