Battery problem fixed

Well my problem with the battery in the truck not charging has been fixed now. After having the alternator checked, the wiring all tracked and checked, it turns out the problem was the regulator. As luck would have it, when I bought this rig it came with a box of 'stuff' which looked like a lot of junk. In there was another regulator and when the guys tried it, it worked. So with the new regulator in place, I took her for a run and she did well, charging the battery. But after about 5 klm…

1970 Glastron RV

Hello-

I have a 1970 Glastron RV. It is the yellow and white. Does anyone know about how many of these exist?
We are wanting to sell it but we have no idea what it is worth. Are there any ideas on what to list it for. Unfortunately, it is not running. It would be a great one. Body is in great shape. Love this vintage RV. Any tips would be deeply appreciated!

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.

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…
