After another rain I checked the floor in our bedroom and in the closet and found nothing. I also got on top of the camper and the roof looks as it should, I also checked all the calking around the front cap... That happened to us a couple of times, both times in Northern AZ ... (Prescott and Camp Verde). Never could explain it ... and hassn't happened since the dealer HAD to replace the front cap !!

We're in Woodbine, MD if anyone wants to stop over and check it out before the RV repair dude gets here. It's just a shock absorber!

Well folks ... many of you know my wife and I were planning on taking the plunge on buying a park. We finally did it. (Actually more than just an RV Park !!) We bought the Lone Fir Resort in Cougar Washington, on the South side of Mount St Helen's National Monument. We live in our Designer full time now and have been loving it. A local paper did an article on us this past week that I thought I would share with everyone ... (Article) If you get a chance ... come see us !

Tried beach balls and they worked pretty good for the flapping ... but lost 2 of them when they blew away in some really heavy wind. Didn't do anything for preventing the pooling of water in the middle though. The PVC I can slide into place from one end, and remove from one end. I plan on adding a tether strap from one end to the other, just in case they come apart while I'm trying to pull them out. (hasn't happened ... YET !)

I built some framework out of 3/4" PVC, that slides in between the top of the slidout and the awning itself. For the 2 long slides I have three 5' sections that connect together with "T" couplers, and have "feet" at both ends, and every 5', that connect to the same "T" coupler. It's about 6" tall total. For the small bedroom slide I made two 3' sections, also with feet at both ends and 1 in the middle. Initially I built these to prevent water from pooling, and it worked well (until it SNOWED !!!) It also substantially decreases the "flapping"! (While not completely, it's considerably better than without!) I plan on extending both ends of the longer ones about 18" ... this should reduce what's left of the flapping a little more. This framework is not glued together, so the pieces come apart for easy storage. CRUZ259Views0likes0Comments
