    Hail on the roof - how do you tell it’s damaged?

    Thats a good point! I just read an article about the difference between the two places and apparently you don't want to get the two mixed up! I also found an article on https://www.truckcampermagazine.com/camper-reviews/flexarmor-spray-on-roof-installation-and-review/ about it and I'm...

    Hail on the roof - how do you tell it’s damaged?

    After reading about that, I think it's something I'd be interested in looking at more in detail! Keep me/us posted on any other research you come across or if you have it done and I'll do the same. I'm really thinking this is fixing to be a project I undergo within the next couple months, that...

    Hail on the roof - how do you tell it’s damaged?

    I'll look into that for sure, something else besides these rubber roofs has been on my mind since our very first camper. I always see 3 points of failure and that's the roof, the skylights and the caulk on all the seams. I've even went as far as thinking about rhino lining the entire camper...

    Hail on the roof - how do you tell it’s damaged?

    Not trying to hijack your thread by the way! [emoji1787] It's just a thought I've been wondering about for awhile now since hail damage is common where we live. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Hail on the roof - how do you tell it’s damaged?

    We're in roughly the same boat as y'all are Erica, I don't think our RV roof sustained any damage I looked up there twice but the vehicles did and I probably won't file a claim for them. Along the same lines of this topic I was reading about a company in California that does a Rhino Liner roof...

    I would definitely recommend doing what Bogie said, that sure does look like an accident waiting to happen! Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    We made it!

    Haha no kidding about the older ones feeling like a garden tractor compared to these new ones!! I've had several diesel trucks but they've always been mid 90's model and older until my 2016 and now my 2019. Those old ones are easy to work on if they break compared to these new ones which now I'd...

    Onecontrol® connectanywhere

    I definitely agree, it would be nice to have one in both locations depending on what all features you have on there. For us it only controls the leveling process so it doesn't make sense for ours to be inside the RV and would be much more beneficial to be in the basement like your talking about...

    Onecontrol® connectanywhere

    Our RV doesn't have the wifi option unfortunately which is one of the reasons I pulled it off to see what kind of ports were on the back of the device so I could maybe install one. If you do manage to connect it to a router or hotspot you'd even be able to log in to that router or hotspot away...

    Bird's Eye Camera on 5th-wheel?

    That would definitely be a long hike back to the front of the vehicle! There's been a couple times we've ran into situations like that where you can't tell how close you are to something and it can be a bit nerve racking sometimes! I wound up pulling into a one direction traffic flow campsite...

    Surge Protector

    That was one of the biggest reasons I went with a Progressive Industries and not another manufacturer, I have been entertaining a Hugh's Autoformer though just because they are an EMS system plus a voltage booster and if I run into a campground that won't allow the usage of voltage boosters I...

    Bird's Eye Camera on 5th-wheel?

    Something to this effect is what I'm talking about, some companies make systems with detachable monitors in various sizes and also various size cameras or you can use your phone as the monitor. Then just pair this system with an AC-DC power inverter and you'd be golden and save a ton of money...

    Bird's Eye Camera on 5th-wheel?

    Whew that is definitely pricey! You could get a power inverter plug that into your truck, and then an all in one household security system to plug into that inverter and it would do the same thing and you'd be looking at maybe 500.00 tops. By the way how do you like the camera in your grill...

    Onecontrol® connectanywhere

    I was just talking to my wife the other day (before reading this kind of scary you read my mind [emoji39]) about hooking a wifi adapter or bluetooth adapter to the LCD panel or copying the software to another device such as our phones so we could connect and operate everything remotely. I even...

    Surge Protector

    We use a Progressive Industries surge protector as well and I swear by it, one of the best and smartest investments you can buy! We had a fellow who sure could've used one about a month ago when the pedestal wound up toasting his inverter, fridge and AC. His insurance is going to cover the...

    Mini split ductless ac

    I like reading these posts, you can always learn new things. I've done quite a bit of research on secondary AC's and I've never ran across one of these. I'm going to have to research this for more information. My wife and I discussed using one of those portable AC's that sit in the middle of the...

    Washer connection box install-thoughts?

    That's looking really good so far! When we had our M33 I thought about doing exactly the same thing your doing and in exactly the same place, although I never got around to it but it sure would've made things easier! I'll be curious to see your end result so I can try to imagine if mine would've...

    Cutting dryer vent hole question.

    I entertained having the place we purchased our RV from install it but after reading so many horror stories I figured I'd do it so if it got messed up I could only blame myself. I'm glad after running into the issue that I went that option just for the concern that someone could've easily cut...

    Cutting dryer vent hole question.

    I looked at those but my biggest concern is that if it leaks anywhere it'll be at the hose connections and it'll spray all over the wall and maybe the floor so the design build I had in mind is basically like a putting the washing machine encased in a waterproof box with the drain leading to the...

    Non GFCI outlets not working, HELP

    I know you said you checked all the GFCI but in our Mallard M33 we had the same issue turned out to be a hidden GFCI plug located in the master bedroom I almost lost my mind trying to troubleshoot the problem so basically long story short look for plugins all over the place sometimes they are...

    Cutting dryer vent hole question.

    Not yet, it's definitely on my list but the reason it isn't done yet is because I'm going to build one from scratch, put a drain in the pan leading to the exterior, as well as an electronic water shutoff that senses leaks within the drain pan and will electronically close the water valves and...

    Cutting dryer vent hole question.

    Thanks! I know after washing about 5 loads so far I absolutely love it, it is really quite almost can't tell it's even running, but the spin cycle does shake the camper pretty good, nothing too bad but you can feel it. It's a GE washer 24" model number GFW148SSMWW it's the only 24" washer that...

    Cutting dryer vent hole question.

    I just called Heartland, I've been so busy I hadn't had the time. The customer service dept is absolutely outstanding!

    Cutting dryer vent hole question.

    I think an interior access panel would've been a nice option so I could've seen what was behind the wall before sticking a cutting wheel through it and then I could have cut the 4" hole into the access panel. I'd be worried water damage might get into the RV if the exterior came from the factory...

    Cutting dryer vent hole question.

    If we didn't live full time in ours we probably wouldn't do a washer and dryer either but even waiting this week for them to deliver our washer has been the longest week ever I'm hoping it's in by next week! It makes doing our laundry so much more convenient. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Definitely no worries on hijacking the thread, that's a good question. I'd wonder the same thing. I would like to imagine that as long as it sits near an exterior wall that so long as you could avoid pipes, wiring and braces you should be good but I definitely don't claim to be a professional by...

    Reese goose box anyone

    I don't have any personal experience with the Reese but I've heard several people not talk very highly of them. You could look into the Anderson hitch it's lightweight and easily removable. I almost went that route with the Anderson but chose a B&W companion instead since I figure I'll rarely...

    Cutting dryer vent hole question.

    That would definitely be big enough, I'll give them a call here in a couple hours and see what they can do. I bet I could probably measure a 4" hole in the contact paper and slide it on the dryer vent tube and then adhere it to the wall. I'll try that with a paper template first and see if it...

    Cutting dryer vent hole question.

    I definitely agree with the stud finder! I should've used one but I didn't want to purchase it for just one hole although it probably would've saved me a bit of time and trouble! When I cut out the fiberglass portion on the exterior I used the drill in reverse to score it but realized how...

    Cutting dryer vent hole question.

    I didn't think about that, I'll give them a call and see if they have a little bit. It wouldn't take too much to cover that back up I think a small piece about 8" X 8" would work. Maybe even smaller I'll have to measure before calling them. I was pretty careful not to take out more wall than...
