Alpenlite 29RK DL Repair/Update Thread
I did it for my S&S TC rebuild and update........so I will start one for the 5er.
This is a 1994 Alpenlite 29RK DL 5th wheel that we bought a few years ago and really haven't done much with it. It has a super-slide in the living area and a full queen bedroom with a rear kitchen. We didn't pay much for it, cause its a fixer-upper.
Known problems......needs a new EPDM roof and most likely some structure repair on the roof....mainly the wood edger's around the roof. there is some rotted interior panels from seal neglect, but the bones are sound. Full aluminum frame, foam insulation, fiberglass exterior, good Dexter frame and axles with no rust. All the appliances are in good working order as is the electrical, both 12V and 120V.
The general plans are to first tear up the wood floors that are very old and dated, its easier to replace it than redo it. Next will be to replace the roof, remove all the windows and reseal and reinstall them. The interior will be redone last. I have given myself 6 months to complete it....since I'm retired....I don't think that will be a problem. At the very least I will get the roof and windows done along with the interior floors. The rest I can do at my leisure.
As it sits today;
Oh.....and "Red" has been replaced by "Blue"........a 1988 F250 SC Diesel, no need for an F350 Dually gasser for this 5er.
