Re: Maiden Voyage

Re: water in frame
Thanks for your responses.? I guess I'll just drill a couple of drain holes into the bottom of the frame members and see how this works as I do not like the idea of water laying in there for days or

Re: water in frame
Bob, the diagonal beams that come together at the hitch have front ends that are as wide open as the air intake on a fighter jet.? The aft edge of the diagonal beams are completely sealed.? The

Re: water in frame
Hello Bob: I've never noticed any, but since we keep ours inside a shed it doesn't see much rain. I have drilled into the frame for the belly pans, and no water came out. Carl.

Re: water in frame
Hi Carl,? Maybe the frame builder or Aliner forgot to put drain holes in mine, as that was one of the first things I checked for.? Do your frame members have drain holes or are they open at the back

Re: caulk

Re: water in frame
Hello Bob: I think the frame builder put drain holes in, and they have become plugged. I would search the bottom of the front and back of the tubes. Plus I would look for other holes that are letting

caulk
Hi All, I know this has been discussed ad nauseum before, but I cannot seem to come up with the posts. I seem to remember a lot of controversy about what is the best type of caulk to use. Silicone or

Re: water in frame
On Chalets they don't weld the bottom of the lengthwise beams to the rear bumper, and the fronts of the beams are open too, so no water collects inside. I'd drill holes in the bottom of the lengthwise

Re: Folded trailer seals
Reading my post again, I guess it wasn't that clear.? By "front roof edge" I meant the front roof panel, where the metal edge on the side of the front roof contacts the side wall of the camper.?

Re: Folded trailer seals

Re: Maiden Voyage
Jeff, if the fridge vent fan is the original from Dometic it will always be noisy and it draws 1/2 an amp which really adds up when using your battery.? Most people replace that with a computer case

Re: 7 plug to 4 plug electrical connections
Even with a brake controller a 4 to 7 pin adaptor will never activate brakes if you have them on your trailer. You must have a 7 to 7 with a brake controller to activate brakes. Steve
