I looked around to see what I could find on the subject. Trailer life had a good article, I thought could just advise people to read that and I could just expand on what they said. Its call "Trailer life roof air leak repair". If the air conditioner frame touches the roof then its gasket replacement time. They are designed to drain out the bottom of the pan and touching the roof restricts flow of water. That's why you NEVER seal the outside edge of the pan. Also, the pan will rub the…

I own a 13ft camper trailer. The only brand identification on it is LARK on the back. It looks like an old Shasta. I did some research and learned that the Trotwood company manufactured trailers long before Shasta and that Shasta was a cheap copy of the Trotwood. I dont mean to insult Shasta owners, but I would like some information on my trailer. Anyone own a Trotwood Lark or know anything about them? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Steve

Found this trailer for sale and am wondering if anyone knows what it is.... I'm guessing late 40's early 50's...I think at one time it had a single rear brake light

I would like to find a link to a cataloging of older small camp trailers showing sufficient details and unique features that can help identify the manufacture, year, and unique features I did find an attempt by someone to put together something like this but it was incomplete with small photos and very little details.
Maybe with such a listing a cataloging of available information such as when and where manufactured, availability of parts, service manuals and schematics for…

Whether its a trailer or a motor home,,, Your tires are right up there in the safety factor. I have come across several RV'ers who go screaming down the highway 75 mph 80 mph etc..In the last 3 trips from Waco to Padre Island, I have come across 3 RV'ers,, 1 motorhome and 2 travel trailers will tire failures.The motor home driver said his tires were only 11 yrs old and looked *fine. He was also fighting the lug nuts due to them being rusted on, (he bent his cheater bar on one lug nut). Road…

I recently began doing some much needed winterizing and noticed I had some wood that had rotted. This seems to be a common item I see people mention on their motor homes and seems to be somewhat common on the class C motor homes where water penetrates via a cab over window and gets into the wood frame structure.
Since I had seen this issue previously and did some repairs, I wanted to look back at the repairs I did about 5 or 6 years ago and see how those areas held up. As it…

Tonight I spoke with a custom build shop in Georgia about building a one off 4 speed OD transmission for my 77" Airstream Argosy 28 motor coach. It will be based on either a 700R4 or a 4L80E. I am torn between having a shop build it or building it myself. My target is a getting my 3200 RPM cruise down to 2200 RPM. And being back up and running by spring. Probably taking my last camping trip of the year this weekend before I take the AS down for the trans build and EFI/TBI conversion
