Bought some eternabond tape, and once the weather warms up going to tape the roof to nose cap seam.Doesn't leak on our Lance, but every time I am up on the roof, I keep looking at the seam and think how horrible to have a leak develop there.
I did the same thing on my 1998 Bigfoot 30C10.11F after I replaced the roof. I applied it right over the screw strips, front and back. The previous owner had failed to keep up with the maintenance and I ended up having to replace some plywood at the rear of the camper. Dicor is fast, inexpensive and easy to apply, but the ongoing maintenance is a hassle. Eternabond takes longer and is more expensive, but should pay off in the long run. - mkasnerExplorerBought some eternabond tape, and once the weather warms up going to tape the roof to nose cap seam.Doesn't leak on our Lance, but every time I am up on the roof, I keep looking at the seam and think how horrible to have a leak develop there.

Here are the new legs installed.
Legs in the jacks, or did you replace the entire jack unit?
The legs. The motors were fine. - trail-explorerExplorer

My new locks came today. Replaced all the CH751 locks with tubular keyed locks like this.
Nice upgrade, but instead of the locks that use the bulky barrel style key (which are annoying in my pocket) I bought some to match my door lock. - trail-explorerExplorer

I'll be adding some carpeted covers to make them a bit easier on the feet in the middle of the night.
Add something protective on the bottom of the leg so it doesn't scratch the nice flooring. - baphenatemExplorer
I added a set of scissor stairs inside the camper to make it easier to get up into the bunk. Rex the dog says that they work pretty well. I'll be adding some carpeted covers to make them a bit easier on the feet in the middle of the night. - work2muchExplorer

Looks Great!
Those are the tops mods I want to do but unfortunately no other toilet will fit my Lance 1172.
How hard was it to do the flooring? Cost?
The flooring was about $100. The new oak base (I used screen stop) was another 20 bucks or so. The interlocking plank flooring is easy to install, just take your time and make sure that all ends/sides are fully snapped/locked in place. I used a pice of scrap to tap the planks in to each other. It also helps to layout the flooring before install to make sure that you don't end up with a tiny rip of flooring at the side that you finish. Sometimes it's better to start with less than full width so you end with a decent size piece for aesthetics. Also try not to have all your first row pieces be of a different length so no joints match. Also helpful to layout all your new pics out of the boxes and vary the colors more randomly than they are packaged.
I was concerned that the toilet might not fit because the rough in hole is closer to the back wall than the spec range I read online but it just made it with 1/4" or so clearance from the back of the toilet to the wall. Also had to go the rv store and buy a 90 degree flair fitting as the water line that used to run up to top of the Thetford toilet now entered the bottom of the Dometic. - cartmancartmanExplorer

Pretty easy to swap out and they sure operate more smoothly. I did forget to order the locks for the bumper storage compartment. DOH!
