you know what i think YOU'RE missing here mister Wanderer2? is the fact that there is a "fireside chat" section for BS like this... :ylsmoke:

This is what I am using: http://precisionbrush.com/brushes-by-type they have a brush seal with a rubber insert: http://precisionbrush.com/metal-channel-brush-with-rubber-insert mcmaster-carr also has a bunch of weather strip options... i think a lot of it depends on your building material &...

hey there- i was wondering a few things about the aluminum skin and mounting of it... so you ordered the roof as one piece or were there S-locked seams between two or three panels? does alaska campers (or did you) fasten the skin to the frame in any way or is it just "floating" and then...

i was trolling through posts for some other info and ran across this thread from over a year ago... it is something i deal with on a regular basis at work, so i thought i would contribute... though i absolve myself of any liability resulting from attempting this "fix"... utilizing a chain or...

hey there- great progress! way to work with what you have... i just wanted to throw out there that i am currently under taking a complete tear down of a mid-80's FWC (non-cabover)... it's the exact same materials/construction as yours and i currently have it torn down to the aluminum frame and...

hey there- looks good... can't wait to see you start hacking away at that trailer! that camper looks to be in pretty good shape, i'd like to see pics of how that front bunk is configured and slides out, i've been thinking of attempting to add a small berth in the front of my NCO. the surge...

hey there- just read your entire thread! the wife has been yelling at me to come help with dinner for the last half-hour!... i have an old school FWC as well that i'm looking to re-furb this winter, though not nearly to the extent of tear down you undertook... can't wait to see your roof...

camper jacks hey there- thanks! sure wish i was using it more! i'm thinking of trying to find a used set of reico camper jacks for the four corner's (like you're talking about)...the manufacturer's are sure proud of those things and i don't think i could justify buying new ones! i've even...

yeah, like captndavie said, there's a steel lip at the front of the flatbed, really no danger of forward movement. so, no real reason per-say, i just used the existing camper eyelet's and added eyelet's to the trailer in a location that would be most functional. the camper fit exactly...

it's shameful to say...but i haven't camped in it since we made the move! :o i do, however, have visions of taking it to the coast soon...maybe with a small boat on top! captndavie: i'm pickin up what your puttin down!...not sure it's in the near future to add the front bunk, but i think it...

hey there... guess i lost track of this...thanks for asking!

hell yeah...looks good!

yes, received a new position and my very supportive wife was willing to check it out. haven't spent much time up there, but we'll be living in the Hood River area. and i DID sell the old trailer! got more for it than i paid after 4 years of use...although i did invest a bunch of time and money...

you know, they make these new ski and binding set ups where you don't have to do lunge's all the way down the mountain...it's new technology in the last 10 years...still let's you free heel up the hill, but then you don't have to flail back down the hill...:sombrero: just kidding! i give all my...

who has powder right now!? our snow pack has gone to hell...i guess we did just get a snow storm, but i'm over this crappy colorado ski-season. looks pretty good where you're at though! spring conditions? and is that more aluminum you used for the door?

Brad- your trailer is looking super-sharp...can't wait to see how you outfit it! with regard to the trailer axle question (and without hi-jacking too much) i believe the other route to go is to buy new hubs or backing plates & drums that are a 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern. all the trailer company's...

thanks! but, i DID paint the trailer...it's baby ******** brown!...:victory: really, i've just touched up the trailer with some textured khaki spray paint from Ace...and we had the brown exterior paint for the boards laying around the garage. i'll finish up the front boards with the same stuff...

slowly making progress... it turns out we're moving to Oregon next month...so, i need to get this thing done! here's some pics of the stake sides...still need to figure out what i'm doing for a rear gate...i've been trying to think of how i could utilize the rear eyelets as a hinge? i need the...

thanks guys! ...i do wish i could remove the flat-bed and finish the bed and frame right the first time but i am under time constraints. the bed-liner is a good idea and will be a good "temporary" fix. i used herculiner on the lower half of the camper (wood), applied with a roller and brush. it...

Weekly progress... i spent all week after work cutting, grinding and welding the widened fender wells...here's some details: i used 1.5" X 1/8th angle to fill the floor gap and make the transition up easier to deal with (1.5" is what i cut out from each side)... this is by far the biggest...
