I have never dealt with the tape so I couldn't say. I think the Loctite could be scraped off fairly easily if need be. But as with all semi-permanent bonds, I would expect a little damage to the...

Reduced to $5,700, and I have added some photos of the 1-piece fiberglass bath. Not all Bigfoots had this feature, but in my opinion it's about as good as it gets for a compact RV bathroom.

Thanks for saying so, Val. I am impressed with the craftsmanship on these rigs. Like I said in the ad, they're built more like a house on wheels than an RV--but without too much weight!
