Thanks Highriser. I might ask where you are located?
Thanks for the offer. I may remove that whole cabinet including the fridge, just use an ice chest. Like Mike did. Colo.

when you're replacing the o-rings, make yourself a broom handle or an old garden tool handle cut to 22 5/8" and use it to brace up the corner you're working on...I've made one and keep it under the seats...so "someone" won't throw it away
Wilson "highriser".....thanks for the emblems and the trim Larry ....nice meeting your wife last week, sorry we couldn't stick around...had to get to Portland that evening

Are the "eyebrows" still available? I need 2 sides and one front for a 8' NCO that I'm restoring.

it sounds redneck, works great and the camper looks pretty good. my 1964 10ft nco cost me 50bucks and i put about 200 bucks in and we love it.

that should take you directly to the page....use the size selector for the length you need...measure twice...order once
The 6'ers are proving to be a problem right now....I'll continue the hunt

MikeHere is a pix of my hydraulic pump. Kind of dirty in the photo (since cleaned up). The jack act as its own reservoir.
Mike
my jack is exactly like yours in my 69 NCO. It is jacking up unevenly and lowering the back binds as it comes down faster and binds up and will not come down all the way. Stupid question, want to check fluid level but wondering if I can simply thake off the fill bolt or does the top have to be down to prevent fluid from spilling out??
thanks

as far as not coming down all the way....check the screw heads in the corners of the camper...the sometimes loosen and will stop the top cold.

Thanks Wes:i learned the hard way. i filled the pump with the top up. when i let it down, i realized that i had way too much fluid . did a little clean-up and used my wife's turkey baster to draw out enough to lower it down.
wes
Another question; I have to figure out how to coach my top to come down.
Re hydraulic fluid, Is their a mark, line or measurement on how much to fill the pump??
thanks much.
