Re: Seattle to Utah via Route 20, Oregon
I live in Bend, have a 28 foot motor home, been that route on our way to Moab several times. Nothing to worry about. Very little camping opportunities between Bend and Ontario. There are a couple of rv parks in Burns, know nothing about them. IMHO you should avoid Nevada. Been on every roard there is in Nevada and they all suck. Going across southern Idaho is better, still boring but more services and you will get to Utah much faster. We go to Utah from Central Oregon almost every spring, and know all the routes.501Views0likes0CommentsRe: Champion 2800/3100 Invertor Generator

The Champion actually has 100 more watts at surge. My old Honda eu3000is wouldn't start my trailers A/C until I put the start kit in the A/C unit. Reviews say the Champion won't have that problem. We'll see. My Champion 3100 starts our AC with no problem and we camp at over 6000 feet.271Views0likes0CommentsRe: Need ideas for repairing delamination on front of cabover
If you are concerned about clamping the sloped front cap and not the side, then I can talk to you about this. I had 2 spots of delam, one on each side of my front cap window. It turns out my delam was from heat and a poor glue job from the factory. The issue is the same regardless, if it's from heat or water. The luan gets an air pocket between it and the outer fiberglass skin. I also used the epoxy resin from Composet. I highly recommend it. The trick is getting the epoxy into the top of the delam bubble so it can run down and be forced by pressure to contact all of the inside of the bubble. The other issue is to not get too much epoxy in the void as it will harden and then cause a solid bulge. I used a wooden frame with 3/4 inch hardboard to lay against the delam areas with ratchet straps pulling from the rear of the coach. You have to get the angle perfect to insure uniform clamping. I ended up drilling a small outside hole at the top of each bubble and then using the included syringe to inject the epoxy. I then filled and painted the holes. The repair came out pretty good. If I point it out you can see it but all in all it looks good. Good luck, it's not a fun project.1.2KViews0likes0Comments
