FYI leaking water tank

OK found out that my tank is made of polyethylene and you can't patch with fiberglass. So I started looking for information on the internet U- Tube had great info on the how to repair it you must use polyethylene rod and soldering iron it looked like a 40 watt. They don't tell you where to get the rod you need. and if you over heated you will make the hole bigger. They sell plastic welding machines they are between 1000.00 & 2000.00 Yea right! OK I will find the rod and we will try this…

got a new puppy a couple of months ago, so every spare minute of time is going to him and not the camper. Put new calipers and pads on and went last weekend for a much needed rest! will be going again next weekend and hope to eventually keep going on the rebuild. Everything is probably going to wait until early October or next spring to do any more. We just can't bear the thought of ripping it apart and not camping for a couple of years. On the bright side, I found a complete set of Pacific…

Flippin RV's TV Show

 Last night on Great American Country GAC I taped the show Flippin RV's. Its like a reality show where a young couple scours the country for vintage trailers which they buy and restore and you get to see the beginning, the restoration and the final product. I'm sure it will be repeated and there are more upcoming episodes which I will be looking forward to. Might wanna check it out. I get it on Dish Network GAC

Xplorer 224 progress

I bought a 1978 Xplorer 224 on eBay last summer and had it transported to The Netherlands where I live.

It seemed in good condition. But that wasn't the case unfortunately. It had lots of bondo over rusted lower panels and even they had moved the front suspension an inch or so, since the frame rails were rusting away on the left hand side, totally dangerous!…

Fun Story

Visiting my Daughter in Wisconsin, I stayed in an RV park (Apple Creek). There was an Airstream jamboree there, they were all friendly and inviting me over to the speakers, one gent asked me what I was doing there which I replied, " came for the Free Spirit jamboree, but nobody else showed up."

I think my 1977 Free Spirit Class A motor home is the only one left on the roads, but since I've painted her (several times now) she'll pass for a 1978.
