Re: Fixing My Water Heater
Okay things are busy for me, just got a chance to look at all this. Okay so The water heater doesn't have any markings on what line attaches where. With my upcoming wedding I don't have a lot of time to work on this thing so I'm still trying to finish up patching the ceiling and back wall currently but this is next on the list. From what I'v researched I am going to patch it currently then if it breaks again replace it. The Sharkbite seems to be my best bet of getting a seal on it so I'll try that for a while. as to figure out how this heater works I'll have to trace and make a map of the current lines and see if I an't figure out how this was designed. Wish me luck578Views0likes0CommentsRe: How to Patch Wall Seems

It will still have flexibility when dry, but not so stiff it will crack and break at the first sign of a flex. The only problem with Liquid Nails, you've got to get it completely right while it's still wet (smoothed out and even), because once it's dry, it doesn't sand very nice at all. Depending on how big the holes are (if small like nail holes from hanging a picture), then even a silicon calk would work ok. If the holes are bigger (like a quarter or half dollar size or bigger, then you need to figure a way to put a backing on it first, then fill the hole from the front, smooth, and paint. Sorry for the confusion. When I say "hole" I mean a seam. What I did was cut a square into a panel to reinforce water damage and fix leaks. I am now cutting a square piece to patch it but am not sure what to use to fill the seam around it.239Views0likes0CommentsFixing My Water Heater
Hey Everyone, I'm sure y'all getting used to my username poping up now. Anyways for those that Don't know I'm fixing up a 79' Wilderness Camper. My issue right now is that My water Heater Lines Broke. On the back of my water heater I have two grey lines coming out (I'll try and get a photo next Time I'm working on it) the line broke just outside of the heater unit, the other end of the broken lines are on the ground right now. they are Identical lines but one has a shut off valve. Which goes where? and is just clean cutting and patching with some Heat resistant PVC and contact cement good enough?2.7KViews0likes20CommentsHow to Patch Wall Seems
Hey Everyone I'm working on a old Travel Trailer that had some rotten wood and for the sake of saving me some labor intensive work I'm hoping I can patch the holes in my walls verses replacing whole panels. I plan on painting over the patches and am worried Spackle might crack do to the movement of the trailer, A friend recommended I use Caulking, and I read Bondo Online. Anyone got something they prefer?1.2KViews0likes6CommentsRe: Dealing with Mold

I haven't patched the roof up yet but later today the TT will be sitting in a Barn and there is no moister left in this TT we've had 90+ degree days for the last two weeks with no rain. I will be testing the moisture to be safe, and once that's done and I clean up my demo a little I will be starting with the mold Fogger and if I'm not super satisfied with those results I will follow up with a ozone generator. I'll keep you all updated on my progress and hopefully get some photos going soon as well495Views0likes0CommentsDealing with Mold
Hey everyone I've got a bit of a mold problem. I bought a water damaged travel trailer super cheap and understood what I was getting into. Here's my situation I have exposed all the mod and rotted wood I am aware of. I have felt all the walls and floor and can't find any more "soggy" areas. I was thinking of renting a mold fogger from my local home Depot running it and after that shooting mold looking areas with killz primer. Is this enough to deal with the mold?2.1KViews0likes8Comments
