Hi, Thanks for the Info, everything helps. Site question: To reply to a post - what is the difference with "reply to post" and quick reply. And does the title refer to subject? Sorry maybe stupid questions, new here.

Title?

"Quick reply" is for posting a response/question simply and without bells/whistles like photos, smileys etc. "Go advanced" will take you to a page with more choices if you need them.
If you want to address a specific post, hit the "quote" button at that post and a box will come up with the quote in it and space for you to respond.

Per "title": if you mean the little box at "advanced" that says "title", you can use it or not as you see fit....I'll type "Title" in there so you can see what it looks like.

Francesca

With your permission, O.P.:

I simply must ask about the provenance of that (previous post) screen name...."FarmerTanTerror"????

Francesca, all ears...

Cool...

It struck me as pretty funny, since everybody around here actually HAS a "farmer tan", and I've never heard the word "terror" attached to it...

well we got all the old shag carpet torn out, found out the water tank is MIA, all the windows work except 1 of the two smaller back ones and im missing 2 of the hand cranks (there is one loose one they were transfering back and forth) floor is all solid no visable rot/damage to the plywood. also had a bunch of snow over the last week and a bunch of melting that helped us find 2 leaks one small one at the back side window and at the celing vent. and on friday i scored a deal on some stablizer jacks and a porch light from an rv parts dealer thats shutting down in a week (if you're in the area check them out before it's gone - www.alchrisrv.com

Looking good, Jeremy. What type of product did you use to line the space under the rear dinette? I just bought a Surfside myself, and unfortunately, the floor under the dinette is in rough shape due to leaks from the windows.

I'm in the process of tearing it out now and considering options to make it more watertight.
