Re: Windows open in the rain?????
GaryWT wrote: What type of windows do you have? Slide windows, then I would worry. The ones that crank out from the bottom, probably not a big issue. They are the ones that slide up and down.. i have been calling campground since this morning and no answer... working 12 hour days and its been raining like hell past two days. no way up to camp...im pretty sure i closed them, but not 100%... I do know last week when i camped it rained like heck out and all my windows were open and no rain got it. so i assume the inside should stay dry just incase i did open...arghhhhhhhh.809Views0likes0CommentsWindows open in the rain?????
Quick question. My camper is about 1.5 hrs north of me right now.. its left on my seasonal site in upstate NY... i closed up camper yesterday for the week and will not be back up there till this friday.. It has been pouring since yesterday.. I am now wondering and thinking that i might have left one or both of my front bedroom windows open.. I cant remember if i closed them or not yesterday.. My question is, are these windows meant to drain and be open during rain storms? I am assuming that the worse that can happen is that i might get some rain that drips on the inside wallpaper? and am I chancing any major water damage in one weeks time if the two windows are indeed open?(camper is aluminum frame)..... no one that i know is in the campground during the week who can check for me, but i hate to waste a 4 hour round trip after a long days work just to find out its indeed closed... what would you do????2.7KViews0likes10CommentsHow to remove bottom step???
My two year old camper is on a seasonal campsite for this summer.. I had the campground put in a deck outside.. with the deck right up to the doors the stairs wont pull down all the way and i have to keep the bottom step folded up. Campground maintence person said all i have to do is drill out the rivets on the bottom step and then when i leave in the fall i can put bolt and nut on there and it will work like new.. is this true? any ideas??4.5KViews0likes17CommentsLooking for help with resealing windows
2 year old camper... just had question on the windows.. Looks like factory installed black butyl tape underneath. I am assuming windows are fine still after two years.. couple questions though, how does one assure that a window is ok and not leaking? are there noticable signs of leakage usually when it comes to windows? once again, everything looks ok now, just wondering in the future. When i redue the windows in a couple years. do i just remove the window and redue with new butyl tape and call it a day, or can i just leave window as-is and put proflex around the whole window and leave the old butyl tape on it? thanks again...810Views0likes2CommentsRe: Will magnet stick to fiberglass???

Cheap and easy. Thats actually a good idea...cheap and easy.. and wont leave a lasting mark.. I wonder if the water would drip right off it...worth a try.... good idea.1.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Bubbles in new Proflex
LOL burbman.... me also.... it looked awful.... oh well. next time i use that proflex i will make the hole smaller... atleast i know the proflex is on there.. boy that stuff is good.. im gonna put a bead right underneath that trim piece on the bottom of the slide.. i dont trust water wicking its way around that bottom slide trim... a bead of proflex should seal it up nice and good... I suppose..664Views0likes0Comments
