there is the quick way and there is the right way. If you need to hit the road now. clean up the old sealant with methyl alcohol and apply a layer of self leveling dicor lap sealant over the old seal.
Exactly what do you mean by "plastic putty knife"?
if you have a rubber roof, a metal blade putty knife will cut through the membrane, whereas a plastic blade has less of a chance of doing so
Gotcha. The pod has a Fiberglas roof.
The cars would be out of place but I was thinking more like William Jennings Bryan’s cross of gold speech tour.
It would be tragically poetic if I were killed by my own flying bicycle.#vanlyfe

I doubt a truck with several thousand pounds extra in and above the bed would do much better in dissipating that excess kinetic energy.
yeah but no appliances, tables or other bullshit flying unimpeded through the cabin into the back of your head. fridge, furnace,stove, batteries are all below the pickup bed level in my rig. only thing in the cab over height in a small microwave in a cabinet and the mattress in the cabover. the propane tanks are strapped in a compartment just above the rear tires. The truck cab itself is much better constructed and crash tested than the other RVs The camper itself has a welded aluminum frame and is secured directly to the trucks frame not the sheet metal of the bed
Saw that, but damn if I am going to cook out in the rain and snow.
You camp at monocles RV parks?
Nope, these are regular old RV parks. Ordinarily we prefer free, but that's not usually possible around big cities without driving a ways out.
We had no issues staying in the parking lot behind the Bally's. Stayed 3 or so nights, 2 of which the gate magically lifted up for us so we went through for free.I'd heard about that if you were trying to stay in the parking lots at the Vegas casinos, but never a regular RV park. Some people with an expensive restored Airstream were very upset
Which apps have you been using to track down your camp spots @Adventurous ? I stuck iOverlander on my phone yesterday and it seems underwhelming, Ultimate Public Campground required I pay tree fiddy or so, so I haven't tried that one yet.
Yeah, some campgrounds do that. Not sure how the practice evolved.
That place is a mess! Needs to be supervised. I'm all for it.
as you head north I can recommend this park in centrailia WA just because the cafe at the entrance is so awesome food wise
Wow, I have never heard this. It's insured through Hagerty as a "classic", maybe they will let me slide if it's hipster vintage.
Attach a nice laminate over it then.View attachment 134563
Trim ring fitted and started smoothing the bed. Had I known it was the 3/4 that showed, I would have sprung for nicer wood.
I was going to go that route, but the wife said she wants it painted to match the cabinets. But it is pretty rough.
