Can't really answer the question. But I would think that the wall insulation is the same front to rear, omitting the insulation on the back part of the wall would cause really problems with pinch-rolled laminated walls. The floor and roof are different issues. While the roof probably is...

I have run a 15k BTU unit A/C from a 50 ft extension cord to a 15 amp outlet. Did this for a week, but I shut the A/C off before running anything else. This is not recommended, but at the time I didn't have a choice. That was 6 yrs ago and the unit is still working fine. Don't know about a...

I agree it would probably work, until it suddenly didn't work one day. Magnetic tape has very little magnetic power compared to a real magnet. I've had those magnetic frig. signs fall off the door by just letting the frig. door close normally. The other problem with velcro or magnetic tape...

Too difficult to drill a magnet, so on those 1st ones, I used two pop rivets on either side of the magnet. I have changed the design by using magnets that are used for magnetic name badges, they have two round magnets glued to a thin metal plate. Very ez to drill a single hole thru the center...

When the clear plastic ones broke, I purchased the "better" black plastic design, which broke during installation. Did a search for other options and didn't like the velcro idea or anything else. So, I designed and built my own latch that is magnetic. It sticks out only 3/8" when not in use...

Here is a link, http://www.picturetrail.com/dayle1, then look in the Cruiser album. I did this a few yrs ago, in cold weather I may get condensation on the smaller vent portion of the windows, but not on the fixed glass area.

If replacing the windows ends up being too much expense and work, there is another option as a partial solution. For the fixed glass portion of each window, you can install rigid plexiglas as the second pane. I did this on six windows for a cost of about $200, this included the large dining...

Kev, Thanks for keeping us informed, thought you might be too busy and tired to get on the internet right away. Can't wait to see the pics. Enjoy the new home.

The Mor/ryde IS is similiar to torsion axles as there is no equalizer, so towing out of level will put more weight on one axle than the other. I have had the IS system on my fiver since it was 3 months old ('04 model) and it has been great. Back in August I had a tire failure, but the alarm...

But above the black plastic is the real floor structure, meaning the floor joist with insulation between them and the decking on top of the joist. Anyway, this is where the floor insulation is placed. There is limited value in insulating the entire belly area between the Coroplast and the...

Here is a dumb question, the Big Horn has 50 amp service, right? Well that means it is already 240V service thru the shore power cord, and the 50 amp main breaker is a double pole breaker. Now everything beyond that is 120V circuits on one hot leg or the other. As I think about this, I assume...

Found this comment from 2008 on another forum regarding ins. for US fifth wheel and truck. "Insurance - Camptons in the UK are about the best for Insurance as my rig costs £430 a year fully comprehensive for Pick-up and Trailer (they class it as a Motorhome) a survey from Niche Marketing where...

Re: UK Insurance Companies....Mmmm Why hijack a thread?

Can't solve the entire problem, but one thing I do know, the pin 2 blue "brake" wire in the US is from the truck brake controller and supplies current to the brake magnets while the UK pin 6 red brake/stop wire is just for the brake lights. So, these are totally different so it is not as simple...

A few months ago, we decided to go with the Verizon 5G data plan. So far with 2 laptops and home bound due to wife's surgery, we have still not come close to using the full 5G. I'm using a Cradlepoint PHS300 personal wifi hotspot so both laptops are untethered. Cost was about $100. The...

First, I wouldn't have the dogs riding in the RV on the road, too stressful for them. Second, what is the point of having an outside door, the owner has to walk outside to use it since the dog can't let themselves in or out by themselves, easier to let them out the main door instead. Third, if...

Jim, Thanks for the clarification on the side walls. Based on pics of the slideout construction, are they 'hung wall' construction? What about the floor and roof decking, just fasteners or adhesive and fasteners?? Thanks again.

Used another computer to download the construction bulletin, but it doesn't state that the sidewalls are vacuum bonded, so I guess they probably are not. In fact it doesn't indicate that adhesive is applied over 100% of the foam/aluminum wall to attach interior and/or exterior siding. And...

Guess my old computer op system doesn't work with the web site. No icons on the right. Some of the icons on the top don't work and none are titled 'construction'

irvin56, Unless I missed something, the link you provided does not describe how the walls are constructed. Hopefully, someone has more info. Thanks

Can anyone tell me how the walls and roof are constructed?? Are they bonded construction, meaning adhesive is sprayed completely across the studs and rigid foam? Are they vacuum bonded, meaning air is removed, or are they just pressure bonded? Or is construction something else? Thanks

Gary, thanks, we can live with 10-12 inches. Regarding the drawers, I've rebuilt some kitchen drawers on my existing trailer, not just increasing the depth, but also the height. EZ improvement. But I'm a little concerned that the drawers could also be wider if the frame wasn't so wide.

I'm thinking about a 2011 Sundance 3000RK and have some questions since I haven't seen one in person. First, what is the distance between the side of the bed and the wardrobe closet door? Would appreciate an accurate measurement if possible and I suspect that it is the same number for most of...
