Re: Trailer Tongue Coupler Wear?
This camper is 30 years old so there's no telling what hitches have been used over the years. We have had it for the past 3 years and are using the hitch the previous owner sold with it. I just happened to notice that line/crack - I have no idea how long it's been like that or even if it's supposed to be that way.825Views0likes0CommentsTrailer Tongue Coupler Wear?
The other day I pulled the camper out of storage and drove a couple hours with it. After I parked it, I noticed some unusual wear on the ball. It could be due to a lack of grease. Looking up into the coupler, there is a line there and I'm not sure if it's cracked or if it's supposed to be like that. Does anybody know if that looks normal or not? Pictures attached. Thanks in advance! Art5.2KViews0likes18CommentsOutdoor Storage and Snow
We live in southeast Michigan and normally I store the camper in a barn. This winter it will likely be outside. Do I need to be concerned with snow building up on the roof at all? I do have a fabric cover for it - will that help at all? Or do I need to plan to clear the snow off every time it snows? Thanks in advance!3.5KViews0likes12CommentsReplacing Microwave
The original Dometic microwave started malfunctioning towards the end of last season and now, the keypad is completely erratic when you push the buttons. Rather than purchase an RV type microwave with the trim pieces, I purchased a standard home tabletop microwave that fits the opening. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to fasten it down so it doesn't bounce around while underway?2.1KViews0likes8CommentsRe: Crack in Black Tank
That's exactly where the crack is on my tank - right near the dump pipe. Now that you mention it, I wonder if a piece of Eternabond tape would seal it. I've had really good results on the roof and it sounds similar to the tape you describe. One thing I've done on the roof is apply Lexel caulk at the seams of the tape so there would be no chance of it peeling up.432Views0likes0CommentsCrack in Black Tank
Last season we discovered a small crack in our black tank, which I repaired with PlastiMend. It stopped the leak and I thought it was going to be a permanent fix. Until a week ago when I de-winterized it. I noticed another crack in the area that was repaired and was dripping. I'm looking at different ways of repairing - Looks like some people have had success with G-Flex 655-8 Epoxy and fiberglass mesh. Another thing I was looking at was PC-7 Epoxy which I have had experience with fixing many things with a lot of success. Does anyone have any recommendations on repairing this crack? Thanks in advance! Art3.4KViews0likes10Comments
