    Mounting to interior ceiling

    Hi all. I own a 2005 Flagstaff 206ST. It’s got straps mounted to the interior ceiling that hold the full size door up during travel. The straps are coming loose because the screws seem to be too short. I think they are only through the aluminum paneling, not actually secured into the wood of...

    DIY TV mounts

    Hello everyone! We bought a 2022 Volante 32FB and it did not come with any TVs installed. There are stickers on the exterior wall for the master bedroom and one above the fireplace for the living room. I watched a video of a suffering owner of a 2021 32FB that assumed the sticker above the...

    Fasteners for roof: self-piercing or self-drilling?

    I'm about to remount the original 1" aluminum tubing roof rack that came with my 2001 Grandby. I had to repair it after the original owner apparently snagged a tree limb. (Embarrassingly, I am that original owner <sigh>.) Is there a functional difference between using self-piercing (sharp...

    Bathroom Floor Replacement

    Purchased a low milage 2017 Greyhawk MV29. Unfortunately, we missed the soft floor in the bathroom. Slides and plumbing look Okay, so I think the root cause was likely a toilet over-flow. Everything is presently dry, and the major damage is above the rear wheel liner. I have a plan of the...

    How to remove panels with stuck screws

    I am currently attempting to gut my bus; however, the 30 year old panels, attached with screws, are giving me a lot of trouble. I can get about a third of them out with my impact driver, but the rest won't budge and end up just stripping out. I am thinking maybe an angle grinder can just cut...

    Roof trim repair needed at rear seal

    We noticed the trim is lifted on our left rear roof seal. Looks like a screw or two needs replacement and new caulk. We already know not to use silicone so plan to buy something like Dicor 501LSW-1 Self-Leveling Lap Sealant. The question is are we missing a piece of insert/molding? First time...

    Seneca Fenders

    I've seen other posts listing replacing screws which hold the rear fenders on Seneca MHs, however haven't seen any solution to the problem. Seems every trip I have a broken screw and/or a fender flapping in the breeze. I usually have to move the bracket because the holes are wallowed out or...

    330RSTS Kitcher Slide Screws

    While closing up the slides in preparation for TS Gordon, I noticed that the lower two screws on the black metal covers on either side of the kitchen slide were backed out and loose.

    I had arrived at the campground and was in the process of "setting-up". We pushed the switch to move the bedroom slide "out". It went out and stopped so that the foot of the bed was about 6" from the cupboard. Long story short...... discovered the screws that hold the bed "down" to the floor...
