Just finished hanging my chandelier. Love, love it!!!

In anticipation of a month long ski/road trip, I decided I was going to make my own thermal pack instead of spending the $1,400 for a new one. For reference- I am an experienced (although self taught and definitely not an expert) sewer and enjoy making usable things like this. My main goal was...

Bought my 2023 Cougar 29RLI with one AC unit which I said to myself I would never do again 2 trailers before that. Has the optional pre-wired vent in the front bedroom with the infamous stickers for part numbers 597263 gateway and 661579 AC unit that basically do not exist. I also have the...

Purchased this VOKIM 15" x 15" x 9" Drop in Sink for our van kitchen galley but ended up purchasing another unit that was not as deep. This sink box was opened but the sink has never been used. We did set it in our galley opening but did not mount it. 16 Gauge Stainless Steel 9" deep single...

I think I brushed the side of a tree leaving a campground with the rear awning and didn't realize it until we tried to open the awning at the next site. I found that pantherrvproducts.com carried Dometic awning replacement parts and I'm wondering if anyone has attempted a similar repair. I...

Hello everyone! I need help with replacing a seal in my camper. It’s a Keystone Passport 3290 BH. My top seal seems to have cracked. I’ve searched to find a similar looking d seal but can’t seem to find one. I uploaded pictures of the seal so you can see how it looks. If I can’t purchase the...

Hi all, I am wanting to replace my automatic shades for manual ones. Motors are constantly breaking and recently lost the remote. ( $400 to replace the remote alone!) Looking for advice and guidance from anyone who has undergone such project. Thanks I’m advance!

I'm Joy. I've been working on my DIY skoolie for about a year. It's functional, but I'm still working on cosmetics and finishing details. I'm planning to stay in it while building a small home on my farm, and then convert it to more of a studio/office with an air conditioned/heated goat milking...

We have to repair the subfloor in the kitchen after a leak. We will be removing the original linoleum. The gap under the slide is a least 10mm. We are thinking of installing vinyl planks which are 6mm. Our only concern is the slide. Any thoughts?

After filling my fresh water tank and beginning to de-winterize my 2014 Thor Siesta Sprinter, I noticed a fairly substantial amount of water dripping down from behind the white panel in my water bay (picture attached). I can't see at all behind it without removing the panel and rather than...

My Coleman 2755 BH is prewired for adding an external 4G antennae. I found the plate on top of the roof but have not unsealed it yet. I assume when I expose that plate on the roof there will be 12V power and the cabling that goes to the switch inside? All I will need to do is drill holes...

Hi guys, We just bought a 2007 Ford E450 short bus (25') and are in the process of removing the half-built camper inside from the previous owner to make it our own. We have never done this before and are in the process of planing the steps. One thing I cannot find is a plan for a convertible...

For all you Thor owners who are doing renovations. If you live in or are coming through Las Vegas in the next month, I have lots of FREE laminate. I wanted 4 sheets but got over 80 at auction which seemed like a great idea until I had to store them. I have black, white, red, blue, pink, some...

Hi campers, I own a 2007 jayco flamingo and the bug mesh is torn in a number of areas. I have tried patching using that adhesive screen repair but if I continue doing this it will look horrible. The mesh all around the van has become quite brittle and it seems that every time we camp, another...

Has anyone installed (DIY) a Hughes Watchdog surge protector in an Imagine 2600rb? I am wondering if it's easily done or if it's better to have it installed. Thanks in advance for the help! ~Alan

I replaced the exterior shower skylight on my Siesta Sprinter a few weekends ago following the guide from RV Geeks. Today, I went to inspect my work be removing the interior skylight and noticed that I must not have centered the skylight properly before attaching it to the roof. The screws I...

So I'm having a bit of a hard time figuring out how to do this without the OG Sportsmobile roof. My idea is to build a subframe for the old school, spring loaded, pop top frame to sit in/on and then cut the roof of the ambo in half *(shown in pic below and) then piece it together that way, but...

Hi! My partner and I are looking to find a DIY community (similar to the one in Jesup, Georgia) that has like.. a community kitchen, community bathroom, community tools to use, we can get help from other people with parts of the build.. and we pay rent to use amenities like electric and water...

Hello all! I’m new to the forum, well, I’ve looked around a lot for quite sometime but never actually joined. Finally, after being unable to find an answer to my problem I figured I’d join the family! My wife and I are planning on living full time in our 2009 3400rl and as we prepare for it...

Hi Guys! My name's Adriana and I'm looking for some advice on what to do with my skoolie. We purchased one from a wonderful couple that converted it themselves. For the most part it was functional (could boondock up to 2 weeks) and about 85% done. However 2 years in and our plans changed, so we...

i have a Sprinter with a manual pop top that was totaled. The roof was unharmed. What is the best way to sell just the top? I can buy back the van for around $4500, is it worth it or should I just let them crush it? Thanks

Hello! Owner of a 2015/2016 (?) ASPEN TRAIL 3600QBDS. We are seasonal campers at a campground and we attached a 4 season sunroom onto our rv. Our campground is no longer accepting any 50amp rv’s so if we were to upgrade it’d have to be a 30amp and that just doesn’t agree with our lifestyle. So...

Being new to AC and truck camping in general, I understand there is an undertaking known as "leveling". QUESTION - What is a reasonable height to plan to level too? One inch? One foot? One corner or two? With sticks and stone available, plus a plethora of intelligently design devices, it can...

Hi, so for the last several months of our buildout, I had been planning on getting 8 Duracell 6v GC2 batteries. I kept checking Sam's Clubs website and availability was concerning me. DIY LiFePO4 batteries are also comparatively reasonably priced. Sooo I bought 8 304 AH EVE cells (approx 7300...
