Hi All,
First, what a find to come across this forum. This is our first camper so please bare with me. We were tenters before but getting to old for that.
I'll start with the outside. Did a quick walk around. I'm missing the cap that runs down the center seam. It is only from the back window down. Does anyone know where to get a replacement or a fix? Right now the PO has silicone over to seal. What did everyone use to clean up the outside? What kind of polish did you use after cleaning? All
lights are working fine.
Now to the inside. Well it rained the day after we brought it home. I checked the
windows for
leaks. Oh oh, we have leakage. At the side and back
windows, the water comes in a little and runs out the drain holes. Is this normal? At the front window the water came in, but not bad. I saw on the forum the instructions and parts for fixing the side
windows. Did anyone work on the front or rear window yet? Do I need to order anything to fix that? The PO has the outside of the windows siliconed. Not really looking forward to this project. Does anyone want to come over and help?
Now the
furnace. I tried multiple times to
light it. Tried everything, NOTHING. So I thought about it over a cup of java. Hmmmmm, maybe not enough juice to ignite. Plugged the camper into an
electrical outlet. POOF, fired first try. That thing throws some heat. Either the
battery or the
solar charger is bad. How can you tell if the
solar is bad?
The cushions and covers are all original. Did anyone take off the covers and try to machine wash? My wife wants to recover or order new. I'm pretty sure new is not an option.
I did not try the water pump yet. The fan and stove work but need to be cleaned and painted. The floor has been carpeted. Pulled up a little carpet. Wow, to my surprise looks like a
fiberglass floor. Not sure what we are going to do with this yet. Thinking about one piece vinyl.
Well enough rambling. Nice forum and plan on using it a lot.
Thanks, Daman (Jim)
