    2018 Sunseeker 2400R Rear bed frame rebuild

    Have had this rig for just over a year and just returned from a short two week wandering. On our final drive day home the rear bed slide seemed to tear itself apart when the rear slide could not slide under the inside portion of the bed. We stopped it soon enough to be able to pull the...

    Treating Rust on the Tow Vehicle frame

    It seems that our Ford F250 (purchased used) has a case of frame rust. Our mechanic has suggested spraying the underbody with oil to prevent further deterioration. He says that a number of his customers swear by it. Any suggestions for treatment and prevention of rust?

    Just purchased a 10.6 NoBo secondhand, it's a 2019 with all the extra features except cold weather package (tank heater.) Getting underneath, I am finding quite a lot of frame surface rust. The trailer did spend time in Mississippi and Montana in the rain but the amount of surface rust is...

    Snowbird in Aframe?

    Do you think it is feasible to live in an Aframe as a snowbird year round when I retire? It would only be me and I am used to camping in a tent for weeks on end and love tent camping. I do not want to live in large RV or Motorhome as I like to spend lots of time outdoors.

    What dealer options do you guys like on new HW A-frames?

    I think I am going to go with a new 214HW and get the full size shower. What options do you guys like on your HW A-frames? I do not think I will be doing much winter camping, but spring and fall camping out here is below freezing at night. I also want to be able to haul 1-2 bikes. Here is...

    TorFlex Axle to Frame Weld Repair

    I repacked my bearings a week ago and noticed some weld joints failing. Took it to the local weld/frame shop and he hooked me up. There were eight joints bad (I have 22K on the camper). He re-welded them all and it looks good. My question is: Just paint (Rustoleum) or undercoating? I'm leaning...

    WAX A Frame Roof

    Hey All, I am trying to figure out the best and safest way to wax the roof on my A-Frame. I am not sure I should lean a latter on the roof (that would be a lot of weight) and being 7 feet wide makes any painters scaffolding very expensive. Any ideas on how to safely access the entire roof to...

    Subfloor/frame

    I have a question. I had only owned my A122 4+ months and only 3 camping outings due to Covid19 and camp grounds closing. My subfloor has separated from the front. I now can see daylight and the ground inside and from under I can see the wires now. It appears the metal has bowed and they just...

    Our A-frame dinette table mod

    We got tired of the stock dinette table legs. In the lowered position, the folded legs took up almost all the space under the table. Setting up the table often resulted in pinched fingers and a search for a mallet to get the legs latched - the same was true when we put the table down in the...

    Aftermath of frozen a-frame

    Late last year I posted about freezing our a-frame. Unfortunately the system says I can't reply to that post but I wanted to follow up. You can search for it. Bottom line, an early cold snap in Montana froze our a-frame. Lucky I had drained it but it wasn't fully winterized. So the final...

    Level the Frame or Level the Camper Floor?

    While setting up my WDH I was instructed to set the Camper Frame level. However when I checked the Camper Floor, it wasn't level. So do you use the Frame as level for "Towing" and the Floor as level for "Camping"?

    Rockwood Hi Wall A-Frame

    My 2 year old Rockwood Highwall sink faucet has worked flawlessly until this last trip. Now the water only comes out when in the hot position, not cold. I was hooked up to city water and the fresh water tank was empty.

    Bent Frame on Roo

    I just returned from a camping trip, and noticed the back bumper on the right hand side is 2-3 inches lower than the other one! Under the RV discovered the frame is bent down where it meets the wheels. Less than 2 years old, really surprised to see this bent

    Equalizer hitch load bar clearance to frame

    I have a 2019 Minilite 2104S that I tow with my '17 F150 and an Andersen hitch that I don't like. I was looking for a "normal" straight bar hitch (not L shaped round bars), and I like the looks of the Equalizer. I already contacted Equalizer, and they say it will work for me, but I'd still feel...

    Apex frameless glass source

    Does anyone have a source for frameless tinted safety glass that matches the Apex factory glass? I have a broken pane, and was advised by my local custom glass company that they could not get tinted glass as dark as what is on the camper (which I find very strange). I have seen a number of...
