How to reinsert the ceiling panels' plastic joint trim?
The trailer had a rain leak from a newly installed(improperly) vent. I first sealed the vent topside with sufficient Dicor lap sealant. Then, to clean the stains and to dry it out, I removed the trim from the bottom of the vent. The ceiling panels join at the vent and unfortunately, a stain also extended along the plastic joint trim between two ceiling panels and over to one wall. I removed this trim piece by easily sliding it out at the vent opening. Once cleaned and dried, it doesn't seem possible to reinsert the trim piece. Do you know a proper way to do this?875Views0likes2CommentsRe: Minnesota State Parks go reservation only for camping

I've tried toothpicks in the hole beside the screw. It held for a little while. The filon is what 1/8" thick? Part of the problem is that the hood exhaust vent is I think two piece, with the outer piece being more of the cover/seal piece. To use the blue inserts or a helicoil, wouldn't I have to take the whole unit off? TIA.510Views0likes0CommentsHow can I tighten a loose screw in fiberglass side?
One of the two screws fastening the range hood vent to the outside of my filon walled RV is loose and the sealant alone cannot keep it from separating from the wall. Tightening the screw doesn't work, it inevitably loosens. Is there something I can inject into the wall past the filon for the screw to grasp? Any other ideas?4.4KViews0likes16CommentsRe: Nicest Campground on East Side of Glacier

Yes, I would have to say of the three campgrounds we camped at, Many Glacier edges out the others for scenery. They are all great!400Views0likes0CommentsRe: New Andersen WD hitch

DW could not turn the nut with my long-handle ratchet, and she has to be able to participate in the process 'Just wondering if I'm missing something here. Provided your hitch is already set up for your situation, and you know how many threads on the bolts should show, why not do this instead: After coupling, raise the tongue to allow easy and fast attachment of the WD chains. This method does not require the use of any long-handled ratchet, and the adjustments are already made. I used to do the same with my old equalizer hitch on my older TT. Instead of using the snap tool to bring the torsion bars into the L brackets, I would raise the tongue a bit and just slide them in. The Andersen Hitch has been on my trailer for about a year now and I love it.252Views0likes0Comments
