    Aluminum Superstructure for Roof?

    We're contemplating purchasing a Sierra/Sandpiper 384QBOK or a Chapparal 367BH in the coming year or two and I'm starting to do my due diligence on both. We currently have a 2012 Sabre 32BHTS, which we absolutely love, but are outgrowing and these other models give us a little more space...

    Polishing Aluminum Wheels

    Decided that since we can’t leave right now with all the craziness going on, that I’d polish my wheels.... Got a polishing attachment for my heavy-duty drill, some Mother’s Aluminum Polish, some microfiber rags and started..... Really pleased with end results.....

    No drill CB antenna mount on aluminum F150

    I have an old CB that I finally fixed the power plug on. I have a magnetic mount antenna. How did you mount your CB antenna? I found an expensive steel bracket that mounts behind the high center brake light, bent steel plates that come up between the hood and fender, and bolted in the forward...

    Aluminum vent hose?

    Hi everyone, I had to cut underbelly to access some wires that were chewed by a mouse on my 2019 Forest River Sonoma Q29QBS. While looking around, I saw a flexible aluminum hose that is not connected to anything hanging. It is pretty cramped, could not see what the other end connects to. This...

    How often do you polish aluminum wheels?

    I recently had a mobile wash/wax done on my Berkshire 39A. Whatever they used to wash it dulled/stained the aluminum wheels. I used mother’s aluminum wheel polish to bring them back to a shine. Just wondering how often I’ll need to do that. What is your experience?

    Installed TV mount to aluminum studs in modern NOBO trailer

    My Forest River NOBO 19.1 Trailer has aluminum square channel as its wall framing inside the Azdel panels. I can detect them with a stud finder, but I am quite scared to drill into the walls without knowing whats there. The main reason is, you just can't make a mistake with the very thin vinyl...

    Atwood aluminum water tank leak!

    Helped my Uncle change out his gas only Atwood water heater in his 20 year old motorhome. He had been using it all season (so far) and was boondocking on the water pump when it erupted. He said most of the motorhome's life was spent in New Mexico where their water was pretty corrosive. The...

    DIY Side Mount Table

    Backstory: We tend to do most of our down time outside of the camper (it's pretty hot in southern Utah)—we love the awning and we like to camp by big shady trees too and sit outside. And as a special bonus my wife is a vegetarian and I'm a meat-a-sorrus, so I try not to cook hamburgers and...

    Aluminum hitch & sway bars

    I currently have the Husky centerline sway and weight distribution set up. The hitch alone is ridiculously heavy, and I cannot lift it...probably overkill for my Rockwood Roo camper too. I'm looking for a much lighter setup. I need something that I can use alone. Is there such a thing...

    Aluminum body F-150 and F250 and Steel eye bolts.

    Ok i recently started a purchase on a floor model shell. My issue is drilling holes in my aluminum bed and putting in steel eyebolts. This will cause galvanic corrosion no matter what they say they are drilling a hole and creating a contact between two metals. I have placed my 3k non refundable...

    Are all outside aluminum campers wood frame?

    It seems as I search for a camper all of the travel trailers with aluminum on outside are wood frame. All the composite/fiberglass outside material campers are aluminum framed. Is this pretty much the standard or are there aluminum bodies with aluminum frames as well? Thanks!
