Recently moved my toilet back an 1 1/2" by using an 1 1/2" "offset toilet flange" from our local hardware store. Will give us more useable room in front of the "pot" on our Lance 880 wetbath TC. Did require cutting the hinges off the lid, so now we will have to lift it off & set it beside the toilet. Till we find a different toilet someday. Anyway I think this will be alot better for us, helps solve a long time complaint with this camper.
Also pulled the top moulding off the drivers side top of TC, & removed about 6ft of staples to gain access into the wood area. The vent had leaked, along with the railing posts over the yrs. Camper stored inside, but previous ownner, plus I didn't catch it in time. Luckly all the wood was bone dry, only the plywood (Luan) had delaminated. So I used the West System Epoxy between all the layers & reclamped everything, turned out very well. Will do the other side this winter, not near so bad. Also removed all that pain in the $%^$% yellow sealer that Lance used around all the fittings, hatches etc. Completely resealed everything on the top. Also removed all old sealer around all windows (everything) & resealed them also. Thourghly detailed the "ol gal", color matched the jacks & rear bumper a couple of yrs ago, it looks almost new now!. After all this I guess I will keep her now for along time. Hard to sell something after ones busted there butt repairing it over the yrs. Anyway sorry about the long post, but can't wait to take it out if it ever warms up here in the Pac. NW???? Enjoy your TC!!
