Re: Resealing the exterior
westend wrote: 3M caulk remover Brush it on, wait a couple of hours and caulk falls off. Follow up with mineral spirits to remove the last of the residue. BTW, the shower stall is the only area to use silicone on an RV. Does the mineral spirits completely evaporate, or do you need to clean that off as well?335Views0likes0CommentsResealing the exterior
Hey all, I would like to re-do all vertical seals on my 5er and wondered if there were any new ways to get "all" of the old silicon off. I have read some old threads about the use or non-use of silicon for resealing and I personally am of the belief that we are resealing for a reason and since silicon is such a pain to remove, why put it back on. Since nothing adheres to silicon and the residue left behind, it makes me nervous to think that if I don't fully remove it, it will cause my new seal to fail. I've even thought about just cleaning the trim and fiberglass good and using eternabond to completely cover the old silicon seal. ???1.7KViews0likes7CommentsPark brake
I'm posting this for a friend in hopes of helping him out. I apologize up front if I don't know exactly what I'm talking about. He bought a used class c and used it this past winter on a trip to Fla. No problems. Last week he went to leave on vacation and the drive train was locked up. Apparently there is a brake inside the drive shaft that engages when the vehicle is put in park. It appears that there are electric switches that engage a hydraulic pump which applies the brakes. Anyway, the brake will not disengage. Any body out there know what I'm trying to explain and may know a remedy?1.4KViews0likes8Comments
