Best vinyl trim molding?
We have a 2017 Rockwood Windjammer. We store it inside. It sat outside on the dealer lot for the first 5 months of its life. Now it comes out into the sun for about 6 weeks total per year. The black screw cover inset along the roof rails is deteriorating. I might expect it if it was outside every day, but I was surprised since it rarely sees the sun. Are there better quality insert trim moldings available? Is there a brand that outlasts the rest? I don't mind paying extra money, if it is a product that will last. The factory stuff must be terrible.836Views0likes0CommentsRe: Zero-G water hoses

Gray / Black "garden" hose says it's drinking water safe and it's 5/8"; more volume but more bulk to store Gray Zero-G Blue RV/Marine hose is 1/2"; less volume and see complaints that it says do not keep under pressure? Aren't all RV hoses under pressure when in use?! Blue Zero-G Which one is best for travel trailer use? I contacted the manufacturer of the Zero G to ask if I should use the RV hose for our trailer. Here is their response: Thank you for your inquiry. All of the Zero-G hoses that we make are drinking water safe, made from all virgin materials. The 1/2" diameter ones (as opposed to the 5/8" ones) are simply marketed differently. There is no difference in manufacturing, except for the inner diameter. It would be a personal choice whether you want the Zero-G RV/ Marine hose or the regular Zero-G hose.

I have a Rockwood Windjammer that has the same Dexter TorFlex suspension. I just use a bottle jack on the bottom of the steel beam between the two tires. Do not put jack on the axle tube, you'll bend the tube and damage the suspension parts inside the tube.1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Streaming to TV from Cell Phone

I have Xfinity at home and ROKU support Xfinity so I can get all the same local channels and get into my DVR and recordings with signing onto my account through Xfinity. It also supports Prime Video and Netflix. Xfinity and Prime are my 2 main streaming supports I would love to have. I was just looking at the Roku Xfinity App information, and it says that you can only access the Xfinity App if your connected to your Xfinity home WiFi, so the Roku can replace a cable box at home. I don't think that you can access your Xfinity content through a Roku when connected away from home.736Views0likes0CommentsMy WiFi Camp Pro 2 Install
I installed an Alfa WiFi Camp Pro 2 in our Windjammer 3006WK. My biggest hurdle was finding an easy way to install and remove the external antenna. I didn't want to permanently mount it or drill a hole in my roof to run the USB cable. I decided on a vacuum mount attached to a 1" PVC pipe with the antenna mounted at the top. I installed a USB port in the external shower housing. To install the antenna I just stick the suction mount to the side and plug the USB cable into the port in the external shower. It works great. Pics attached.2.3KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Recommendations on bunkhouse one ton tow?
We love our Windjammer 3006WK. It is one of the few bunkhouses we looked at that has a good sized master bedroom and bunkroom, and both are private and closed off with solid doors. Also, it has a direct entry into the bathroom, which is great. Plus, a really cool outdoor kitchen. Windjammer 3006WK267Views0likes0CommentsRe: Just did something really stupid. Need advice

Here is an easy tip for avoiding "drill-through:" Put a little flag of masking tape on the drill bit to show "this far, and no farther." When the flag hits the wall, stop! Don't ask how I learned this trick. Another option is to slide a socket over the drill bit that only allows the bit to penetrate as far as you'd like. Once the bit bites, the socket will stop it from going too deep.186Views0likes0Comments
