Re: Repair a Camper with a bulging side ?
Thanks guys for all the advise. I left the camper where it was. It didnt realy scare me off. 12G for 7G. I realy dont have the time to fix it myself for at least 1 year,new baby,building a house ect. We do have a large 3 bay shop,and i have wide range of equipment and hand tools. I think a guy need to have a few thing in a row to fix this camper. Time,enjoyment in projects,tools,shop. Thanks again guys. Hope this thread will help others.398Views0likes0CommentsRepair a Camper with a bulging side ?
Hi Guys. I have found an Adventurer 104DSS,2002. The window on right forward side below the bed had leak at sometime,which made the fiberglass bulge out below the window and down to the storage locker. The rest of this camper seems good and at 7 grand canadian the price is cheap! Do people fix these issues or just live with them,im wondering if its worth paying a shop to fix it. Im not scared of different projects and im wondering if i could buy a skin for whole slide side somewhere?. I'm guessing it more than likely needs new ply but i couldnt feel the ply flexing underneath when i gently pushed on it. Anyone on this forum ever rebuilt a side on a camper? Any info would be great. Thanks3.8KViews0likes15CommentsRe: Banging Noise from Front of F-550 chassis ?

Yes i heard of the leaf bracket/bolts having problems,i'll try calling Triple E. Thanks Dawson577Views0likes0CommentsRe: Banging Noise from Front of F-550 chassis ?

The bushings can be bad at the end of the sway bar also, at the links, but I think you said you checked those. They are all good576Views0likes0CommentsRe: Banging Noise from Front of F-550 chassis ?

As you lower it, put your hand against the spring, and see if you can feel the shock wave vibrate through the spring. Father-inlaw said he hit a pot hole. I will try the leaf idea as i have been stumped before on my f-350 and i eventually found it to be the leafs.576Views0likes0CommentsBanging Noise from Front of F-550 chassis ?
Hi. My father-inlaws tripple e commander 2002,only 12,000klms. Has been in storage many years and i have the job of bringing this RV back to life :). I am hearing a loud banging noise when im driving slow? I have greased all points of the chassis i can see. Swaybar links,bushes look intact and check for broken bolts,i removed the lower bolts from the Bilstein shocks and they extended normaly without delay or noise,Checked front wheels bearings for play. If i jack up either side of the front of the vehicle and then release the jack quickly i hear this noise the same as when driving slowly. Has anyone heard of or had a similar issue like this ?.4.4KViews0likes17Comments
