Re: Asbestos in my 1983 Monitor (Alumilite) TT
OK finally got results back today and they were negative!! The material was composed of 20% Perlite, 75% Cellulose and 5% glue. I appreciate all the info that was given during this thread learned a lot about the subject. Sorry it took son long to get back!587Views0likes0CommentsRe: Asbestos in my 1983 Monitor (Alumilite) TT
Sorry for not posting any pics but was called out to work and have not been home yet! My wife sent out a sample I had bagged before u left today so we should know in a couple days. I ripped up the linoleum floor that was the original floor do you think that stand a better chance of containing asbestos than the ceiling? From reading online it says they tended not to put asbestos in big sheets of the vinyl (which the flooring was 6'x8' piece). Do you guys with more knowledge confirm this or is this more misinformation. I guess I will probably send a sample of the linoleum and roof off. Thx again587Views0likes0CommentsRe: Asbestos in my 1983 Monitor (Alumilite) TT
Thanks for all the info guys! I did a prelim wet wipe off the trailer to clean up the material in the bathroom. Wore resperator and suit and sprayed everything down with a bottle to eliminate making it airborne! Will be sending a sample out in the next few days to get tested. With my kids I have to now for sure!! When I get the results then I'll go from there. I will also try to post a pic off the material tomorrow. It looks to be some sort off fiber board with a type of hard coating on the interior (bathroom side) of the board. Crumbles very easily when in your hand.

Just figured with the age it might have some! Good possibility that it might. I know all asbestos wasn't banned in 77-78 but in habitation areas it was. The problem was that I started the demo before I realized it plenty of dust everywhere and no mask! I don't think I'm going to keel over from just that exposure but I will clean it like it is (kids safety). I'll prob send a sample out to confirm or deny my suspicion!225Views0likes0CommentsAsbestos in my 1983 Monitor (Alumilite) TT
Hi guys, I purchased a 1983 Monitor or Alumilite TT about a month ago. I have been doing some work on it and finally got around to repairing a section of the bathroom ceiling that had been previously cut. Half way through I realized that I might be working with an asbestos fiber board. I stopped and got my respirator on and finished the demo. I am going to encapsulate the repair area to seal of the cut edges and replace the ceiling. I guess long story not so short is has anyone ever had their 80's trailers tested or now anything about the materials they used in that era? I would really like to know for peace of mind if It contains asbestos. I know it was banned in 78' but stockpiles where depleted into the early 80's. Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance!15KViews0likes33CommentsWould like info on a Monitor TT
Hello all, have been in search of a budget TT so we can see if we llke it before we move on to something else. Will most likely be used for a few years then upgrade. I found a 26ft 1985 Monitor that looks to be in very good shape. I have googled my butt off and can't seem to find much info. What I have so far is that it most likely weighs in around 4500lbs, sleeps 4-6, the guy said everything is functional. Has furnace, A/C, stove/burners, head, microwave sure I'm forgetting something. Was wondering if anybody has any info or experience with this brand and anything else that might help in my pre inspection buy tomorrow! Thanks in advance1.2KViews0likes5Comments
