Stationary camper roof repair advice...
A little bit of information before asking my question... I purchased an older 30' pull behind camper to be used as a "hunting/weekend cabin". The camper will eventually (hopefully in the next 1-2 yrs) have a permanent cover/carport with either asphalt shingle or tin roofing. There doesn't seem to be enough time in the day to do what I want/need to do this year. lol I bought it fully aware that it had a water leak. I have no problem with the skills to repair the leak, but would like to hear opinions of roofing materials. My thought was to simply seal the area leaking knowign that a more permanent roof will be on it's way soon. Thoughts/opinions and what do you base your thought/opinion on???? The camper is partially gutted now and will be stripped down and reconfigured to a more user friendly floorplan based on our needs. Doug6.9KViews0likes9CommentsRe: Winterizing Question

We like to camp off grid in the winter, after pricing RV antifreeze I got to thinking I'm going to be spending a lot of money each time we go, would save some money to just blow out the lines. You'll still want to have RV anti-frz on hand to pour in your drains each time you return. In my opinion, a couple of dollars of anti-frz down the drains is cheap insurance against p-traps and black and/or grey tanks cracking due to water freezing in them.

How will you be heading north? If you are planning on the Wisconsin side of Lake Michigan (which I would suggest), you should make it a point to visit Door Co. It's a quaint peninsula that juts out into Lake MI just south of Green Bay. If you continue northward in WI, I would recommend hitting Pictured Rock SP from a late afternoon cruise on your way to Mackinac Island. If you're going the MI side of Lake MI, make sure you hit St Joseph, Holland, or South Haven (or all three). As others have said, if you like Christmas you need to stop in Bronner's in Frankenmuth, and Henry Ford near Detroit is a must do if you're within 100 miles. Not sure what your tastes are, but the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame is in Cleveland OH, and the Pro Football Hall of Fame is in Canton, OH. Hopefully that will give you some ideas that you like.

A few ideas for you... Elephant Rocks State Park, MO; Johnson Shut-ins, MO; Land Between the Lakes, KY; Shawnee National Forest, IL; Sam A Baker State Park, MO; and then you always have Lake of the Ozarks. Actually about any state park in MO that we have visited, we've enjoyed. Doug edit - sorry, the only one of these that have drive-thru wildlife would be LBL.180Views0likes0Comments
