I have very close tandem axles as well and would likely have this same issue. I'm also just finishing up my 3D printer. I wonder If I could print one out that would be a bit smaller and still have...

After brainstorming for a long time and taking a bunch of measurements I have a plan. I decided to just extend the table by 12". More would be nice in certain circumstances, but it would need to be...

Table extension ideas?

We have the standard forest river dinette table with the folding legs that squat down between the benches (2011). I have a family of 5 and we often have friends in and would like to have more table...

Here are a couple of shots of the fans installed. It's hard to see anything because it's so cramped in there. I fabricated a sheet metal piece that you can see just a few edges of in these shots. ...

Thanks TURBs. That's a nice looking setup, but unfortunately mine doesn't have that shelf like space. The fridge has the minimum clearance to the outside wall of the trailer so there is very little...

The more I consider this, the more I think I need to mount the fans to a piece if sheet metal and then attach the sheet metal somehow. I think the screws would just pull out of the insulation.

Thanks for the input guys. I'll get some 501sw and pick up some Murphy's. Sounds like a greya combination.

OK, I've looked at it again and think I could actually fit the fans down near the main access panel. It may not be quite as good for airflow, but it will be a lot easier install and easier to fix if...

It seems the ultra sealant thing is fairly new and I really think that what's on the roof now is the normal Dicor. Does anyone think differently? If not, I'll probably just order and use some of...

I was assuming to get the standard lap sealant from Dicor (I think it's 501), but then I found out that there are different kinds of roofing material. I took off a vent piece and it looks like the...

OldCoot was right on target. With the picture from the manual in hand I compared the location of the igniter probe and it was almost completely centered in front of the burner. Rather than bend the...

Thanks OC, Herk. I'll take it apart tonight and see what I can find. It's quite possible that the angle is just not quite right and that the ignition just isn't working due to that.

Interestingly the mechanism had wiped the sprayed on stuff to the point of being very thin, but it also seemed to be quite dry. The tube stuff seemed quite goopy still. I'll wipe up what's left of...

I put on very little of the tube stuff. I tested it out on something in my garage and it took 24 hours or so but it did seem to dry out and things stopped sticking. I didn't do the same test with...

Well, we've completed our trip through the hot country with temps up to 105 and I think they "fixed" things too well. The fans never came on and the fridge would not get cold enough. We ended up...

Thanks Vince. That's interesting. I assume these have "normal" oil based grease. So does the lithium grease create problems with the oil based grease?
