that should work. I had to use firing strips on mie to get the thickness I wanted in the spray foam. Also a firing strip will help keep the walls from sweating at the steel studs. There is effectively no r value at the studs.

what kind of insulation? If it's foam, you can make a hot wire cutter and just run it up and down the wall studs. They cut like butter and there is several diy videos on making them. Are you riveting the panels or vhb tape? If you rivet the panels then they will wrinkle when the heat and cool...

The advantages are many. first off, you have much better access for cutting outlets and plumbing holes. The time savings in plumbing and wiring alone would be worth it. It's A LOT easier to do it from the outside. Second, if you are using spray foam, you can use a hot wire cutter and smooth it...

You will either use a MASSIVE amount of water pushing poo all the way to your truck, Or you will need to put the black tank DIRECTLY below the toilet. even a very efficient modern toilet uses over 2 gallons a flush, and the septic is completely below the level of the toilet. RV tanks use very...

Mine started life as a line haul truck. That was extended and had a box added. It caused a few complications during the build. It would have been not much more effort or cost to just build it all from scratch. In the end it made a wonderful RV and is very sturdy.

Do you have room to store the whole thing inside? You would make life a lot easier if you finished the inside walls first. then skin the outside last. Many of the big names do it this way. I had to build mine outside so I know the headaches of doing the outside first.

The VHB tape is only designed to have the vertical surfaces bonded. You need to "float" the top and bottom edge within some kind of molding. Once you have the molding in place you can seal the seam (at the molding)with the flexible caulk of your choosing. Also you should invest in the correct...

The wear and tear in tires comes from 3 main things. 1. Use. The constant flexing as the tire rotates (and twists) slowly weakens the belts in the sidewall. 2. UV. The UV from the sun breaks down the rubber and causes the erosion in the sidewall. 3. The air. Each tire has chemicals that are...

Can you arrange to ship it? How wide is the door? how tall are the individual steps? what are the dimensions of the step box?

So I made my reservation, called them to confirm that they had a site big enough for my RV and trailer. When I got there I found out they don't have any sites big enough at all. I had to empty and unhook the trailer then go park the rv and walk back to get the car and the golf cart. At which...

Yes they have a pool. I'll drive through this weekend since we'll be in Savannah anyway.

Just spit balling dates. But how does July 13th thru the 15th sound. Most of the parks will be calmed down from the holiday. And the snowbirds will be long gone. But be warned it will be hot.

Red gate farms is a really nice park. 10 sites would be easy enough. Just offer the excess site up on the hdt forum. 60 bucks is not much more than the sites for the ECR rally in Crossville. Plus Savannah is a fantastic place to spend a few nights. :)

If anyone is going to the ECR HDT rally, they could check on that campground for possible rally dates. It's in Crossville TN if I remember. We are going back to Gatlinburg in June to meet some friends. We could look around at some campgrounds there. How many of you are willing to drive to...

Well it's an easy drive for me. :)

I'm game for allowing the FB guys to come as well. I doubt we can get a group of sites at a premium campground after June 1st. Although some companies like KOA will allow you to reserve specific sites for a small fee and everyone else is just stuck in where ever. Maybe we should check with state...

March 18 thru the 25th is our "Spring Break" My daughter get out for the summer June 1st. What's the area like in March? June will probably be a zoo.

I was in Pigeon forge this past week. We took a drive over to Anchors Down campground. NICE place. They were closed when we were there but we drove through anyway. they had only one rv in the place and it looked like employees. The sites looked ok but I would question the size for our rigs...

I just got done paying 3.15 a gallon in Sebring. Hopefully I can find something cheaper in Chatanooga this weekend.

Well if one of you fellas is willing to pay for the weekend. I'll drive up and see if the squawk about mine. :)

I know some local sheriffs officers here. But mostly because they like the picture on my D.L.

I like the way this is heading. My only drawback about this place is the probable tears when we leave the lake. :) The reviews make it sound hard to get reservations, So proper planning would be needed.

We are with State Farm Rates are competitive and it was pretty painless. I sent my agent pics of the inside and outside and they did the rest.

I'm good with a 10 hour drive from home for a "long weekend" that puts Gatlinburg on the far end but doable. Sure would be nice to put some faces to the ones who encouraged my through the process.

I'm on the map :) It would be interesting to see where everyone lives. I wonder how many members are active enough to post.
