An update since my last post... Since my last post I have completed all the tasks I was hoping for. I now have 4 corner control of my alignment setup using front landing gear and rear stabilizer/leveling jacks. The sway is still notable, so will likely invest in some additional bracing. Inside...

Our's looks almost the same and I ended up replacing it with one that is a slightly more flexible plastic with Styrofoam backing. The floor boards are only 1/2in and flex quite a bit and the old fiberglass pan just can't handle the concentrated weight of a persons feed in conjunction with the...

Sorry, it's been a busy week. Here some pictures with updates... This first picture shows the carpet cut but not yet nailed down. Also it doesn't have the edging sown on yet. Here the stairs. This was some work! the old carpet was wrapped around the steps and I had to remove the middle step...

Ouch!! That looks like could be really dangerous if it's scaring up the tire and blows when you are on the highway. On mine this is the rear slide out, so no contact to the tires. The previous owner really must have left something between the wall and the slideout before checking and then...

Found some of the original pictures from before we started working on it. The veneer on the door I'm not sure how to fix yet. Replacing the door seems overkill, but fixing that baseball size hole will also be a bit of a challenge. BTW forgot to mention that I got two 12V 100AH deep cycle...

I didn't take a lot of pictures, but here a few of the whole rig and some of the carpet work. The little round head screws are barefoot tested by the way. They don't hurt and aren't even uncomfortable. I have more of the pics of all the damage but they are on another computer... I'll follow...

A little prelude before going into the mods because the ideas came up from the necessity of keeping cost down while maintaining some key aspects that our family needed. We had roughly a 35k budget to buy a 5th wheel that could accommodate our family of 6 (Mom,Dad, 2 teens and 2 toddlers). We had...

Thanks guys. After several other post in different forums also mentioned a dummy panel, I rechecked all the cabinets again. I found a diagonally mounted wall colored panel on the inside corner of the bottom cabinet next to the dinette - same wall as the fuses and switches but on floor level. I...

Hi everyone, New to the forum and to 5th wheeling. We got a used 2012 Elkridge 36QBCK (bunk house) fiver and it was in pretty bad shape with busted interior and we are slowly getting it back to a livable stage. One thing that I am still trying to find and fix is the LCI Remote and RF receiver...
