hmmm... well the awning did take a beating in a sudden squall and one bracket was ripped off. I repaired that one and it's not near the leak - but there IS a bracket near the leak that looks good - but I did not check it. And... as noted there is a window in the area - I'm considering taking...

I'm still stumped here. I've gone into the rig after each heavy rain and cannot find any signs of water. However I am seeing some deformation of the wall panel in this area both inside and outside. It's like the water is getting inside the panel and must be getting pulled into the end of the...

The cheap OSB sounds smart - I'll be on gravel or grass too. I like the bucket idea too - plenty of spackle buckets lying around for that.

I've got to start taking the cloroplast undebelly off to figure out why my fresh water tank dropped out. It looks like I can just pull the self tappers and maybe make a few small slits to free up brake wires and plumbing penetrations and drop it? I'm looking for any tips that will help me...

OK, I'm stumped. The gap I remembered on the end-cap was on the rear, not the front. It's not at all clear to me where this water is coming from. Is there a list of usual suspects to check/correct?

I was afraid of that - the laminate itself seems fine I guess you are saying I should expect that the subsurface will be shot when I get it out? I wonder if I can get the laminate and nosing off intact and apply them to a new counter. Well... first things first - gotta make sure I eliminate...

I'm hoping the roof leak is as easy as just caulking - we will see. I found a place where the end-cap meets the roof that seems to have shifted and opened a gap I can caulk up and hope. Yep - I'll admit I'm frustrated, so don't hear this as flaming back at the "what do I expect in 4 years"...

At dinner DW casually announced she had just been in the RV and I need to add a delaminated counter top to the (growing) list of things to fix in our Cyclone. I asked when she had planned to mention this... In any case it looks like water is coming down the wall in the bedroom and must have...

This weekend I had a pair of my shackle links pull out, so I'm in the market to upgrade my suspension before the rest of it fails. For those who did it - how did you match up the right Dexter kit? Is axle spacing enough to get all the right parts?

That was my thinking too... maybe next weekend if I get some time to fiddle with it. I am looking for any experiences others have had or bone-head things NOT to do. Seems straight forward enough but I have not seen a schematic for it and have been surprised on stuff like this before.

I got the advice to put 12v direct on the pump... any ideas how to do that? I mean... the whole idea of the timer/switch inside is to make that hard so no one can pump my tank.

I rarely use my fuel station but always liked having it. During hurricane Irene I found out too late that my fuel station stopped working. I cannot get the timer to start. I pulled it apart and jumped the first switch - still nothing. I'm guessing the timer module is shot. Can I just jump...

Last week we had our awning out when a small squall came through. Didn't expect much wind so I just tilted it down and went inside. Unfortunately we were along a river and within minutes POP! a gust came through and pulled one side of the awning off the supports. I was able to wrestle it back...

Did VZ have an answer for you? I'm curious actually... I never had TZ issues until I got a global smartphone. The first time I had trouble was in Jerusalem... outside the old city the phone was fine, inside it jump back 5 hours - kind of bad since it was my only clock at the time. Now (back...

Just saw this and thought it was very informative http://youtu.be/lkwOE1yKY5c Anyone know what the SECOND worst thing to do after a blowout would be?
