Hey, I've got a great idea on where to hang the fly swatter for easy reach....let's put a 1" machine screw into the front of the refrigerator and hang it right there!  Easy peasy........

Garsh we're smart....

And you know that antenna that bounces on the cabover when we're traveling?  How irritating!  So let's put a screw in and…

What the seller on craigslist is describing, when selling his rv. What it really is when you go look at it in…

What did that cabover ever do to them to deserve such abuse?

 Now we come to the CB antenna bracket. (this is what my brother said it was for)  Right smack on the edge of the top, screwed in with several large screws and piled on with some sort of sealant that certainly did not work over time.  Inside the camper where that is located, of course..the wood is rotted on the ceiling as well as on the edges.  It did some major damage and contributed very much to the overall…

I started off this morning,, by getting up early,,(gasp, I know right,, scared me to). I actually got up before noon thirty five. I chuck some 40 weight and inhale some toast and being all energetic I head outside to take measurements of the RV's shocks, I lay out my tarps and crawl underneath with tape measure in hand and a pen and paper. Started off really good,,, inspecting the shocks and noticing the wasps, bees and bugs are out early to. Now who wouldda thunk it? Well, I was doing my…

During the work week, I've made a list of things to take on that don't take a lot of time commitment to finish.  This morning I got two things attended to.

First a bent up vent outside that goes to the water heater control area (I think)  It looks like someone tried to get into it without pulling down the canopy bar.  You can't get the door open with the canopy bar in the upright position.

So I got that all straightened up and back in there correctly.…

This morning I began the 2x2 supports installation. I have one up, it went fairly easy and seems very secure.  There will be a lot of cutting to fit as I go around the walls and such, but that's what a chop saw and measure tape are for. ;-)

My brother and I had been talking about those 2x4's that will go across the top and how to attach them to…

bought a used Duo Therm roof refer and when plugged in it cool and fans but will not turn off. The fan runs continuous in both cool and fan positions. I cannot see any change in fan speed in low, med or high and in off it isn't. I have two of the same units and they both act the same Any ideas before the real heat sets in out here in Cornville, AZ? Cheers, Jack

Well, as many silicone implant recipients might tell you....sometimes they get a bad job and suffer leakage....... ;-)

My job today was to tackle the antenna on the roof.  What I discovered was the antenna was really not the cause of the major leaking, it was the wire to it that had a hole separate from the unit almost to the edge of the top.  There was a metal plate on top of some foam rubber stripping, screwed in....and the wire from the antenna was shoved under the plate…

After 4 years of ownership, and 6 months of work (did I mention, WORK?), our lil' Smokey is DONE!!  

While it was in pretty good shape when we bought it, we could see that it had had some old water damage from its past.  After moving to FL (from WI), we took advantage of the nice winter weather and tackled the job. As usual, it turned out to be much more than we anticipated!  Then entire rear had to be torn down to the skin; rebuild walls, ceiling and floors; insulate, new…

I found the reason that the cabover damage was so extensive and mainly in the corners of the front. The ceiling is dry, the windows are dry...but those bottom corners...what a mess! Both sides of the outside has buckled seals right at the bottom curve. The water was running right down into them and staying trapped there. Rusted screws and seepage was inevitable. I pulled it out, and will get some new sealing strips, install new screws and silicone around them.

Not sure what those strips…

So much water...still in that insulation.

Well, I did some work in Diggity Dodge this morning and concentrated on one area of the ceiling that was a major contributor to the still existing water reservoir of a ceiling.  There is a piece of 2x4 coming out from the wall that just stopped at about 8" and doesn't seem to be attached in any way to any other boards.  It just kind of hangs there like a lone wolf.  This piece was hanging down really bad when I began this project and…
