Slide leakage
Hello guys, Last spring we had a leakage, the water was coming in where the slide touches the wall. There was a bit of water, standing between the wall and the floor (front of the trailer). I fixed the leakage, replaced the insulation (from the bottom), cleaned the mold. It wasn’t too bad. The problem now, is that the floor a bit uneven, next to the leakage place. I don’t have a way to even out the floor. I will need to remove the linoleum and somehow put it back… Question, is there a reason to remove the linoleum? Can I leave it as is? Can we breathe it (I am guessing there is a mold under the linoleum..)? Thank you!1.1KViews0likes2CommentsFridge & Freezer problem
Hello guys! After our last trip our fridge stopped working. Not sure if it’s related to the trip though.. Did some troubleshooting today, the back panel of the freezer feels cold, but somehow the temperature went up from 64 to 70 in three hours. I disconnected the thermostat, it didn’t help. It’s the same issue with propane and electricity (110v). When it works on propane, I can hear the burner works. The lights on the panel are fine, all looks normal but it doesn’t cool. All fuses are fine. Any idea what it can be and how to troubleshoot? Thank you!1.2KViews0likes2CommentsBattery monitor 100A vs 350A
Hello folks, I am looking to install Aili battery monitor. There are two versions 100A and 350A. I have one group 27 battery and one solar panel. In next few years I am looking to add another three solar panels and maybe another battery. Is there a reason or benefit to go with 350A version or 100A will be plenty for me? Thanks Alex2KViews0likes7CommentsRe: New store space

Yeah, it’s a good idea, but I am not sure how to finish it… How can I make it look nice? So it will be part of the design/color?334Views0likes0CommentsNew store space
Hello guys, I have a question about potential storage. We have this front storage compartment. On the left side of this wall we have two bedside tables (without drawers) and the bed. Under the bed we have storage, but I think the space under the both tables is unused. I thought to open part of the storage wall, to have additional storage for small stuff. Any chance someone did it? Any potential issues? Suggestions? Thanks!5.9KViews0likes21CommentsRe: Stabilizer blocks alternatives

I have watched some review a while ago, and I remember each peace is like 8 pounds or so. I use whatever scrap lumber I have laying around. I just weighed one piece I have which is a 2x8 at 12", weight is 5 lbs. 5 lbs is not all that much weight to move, handle or store. I typically use 2x6 pieces that are about 10" in length under my stabilizers and that works fine even on a sandy area. Blocks of leftover wood are cheap, effective and will last longer than any plastic blocks with a given amount of weight on them. If weight is a huge issue, you do realize that can also be fixed? Yep, a spade drill bit can be used to drill through or drill partial holes in a diamond pattern and not affect the strength of the board very much but yet remove some weight.. Something else to consider, pressure treated lumber when first bought is heavily laden with moisture as part of the treating process so those boards start out very heavy. As the board dries (after you buy it) it just needs some time sitting in the sun for a few weeks to loose the extra moisture back to the same weight as non treated lumber. Pressure treating plants don't bother removing the excess moisture before shipping to the lumber yards. Wood (even treated) is a natural product, plastic, not so much. Yes, I thought about drilling some holes, not sure how much of the difference it will be. I can take one peace, weight it before and after and decide if it worth it :)641Views0likes0CommentsRe: Stabilizer blocks alternatives
