I would check the town website for where you are visiting. My thoughts are it is a registered motorvehicle. If they don't say you can't park there then you can. I know the town I grew up on you could not park commercial vehicles or trailers on the street (don't know about RV's, didn't have one when ...

I stopped at my RV garage and the guy said it is easy to seal, you just need to take your time and cut the old stuff out and clean it up before you put the new caulk down. And he charges $85 per hour. I'll get my ladder out this weekend and see what it looks like if I'm wiling to tackle it.

Welcome!!! I haven't had any issues with my shower curtain so I can't help you there. I would think any shower curtain could work, you probably do have to cut it to the right size. I'm sure it is a custom fit. Yes, I do put cargo in the cab bed. Usually sleeping bags, pillows, roll bags, soft stuff....

Thankfully it is raining tonight. Why and I glad it is raining? Yes I have a garden that could use the rain but more importantly I was able to find out where the leak is. It turns out that the marker lights on the roof are also leaking. The cab window seal has little pinhole leaks. I didn't think it...

I second the fuel filler hose. I had a Ford Van that would leak when I filled the tank. I solved the problem by only filling it 3/4 of the way full. This way when the fuel sloshed it didn't come up the filler neck and leak out. My bro took the van on a road trip and I told him to either not fill it ...

That is right where the AC unit is. I'd remove the unit and replace the seals. I have read that the AC units leak often and the fix is to remove it, clean the surfaces and put a new seal on, not to just caulk it.

I have used Butyl tape on my popup and my stove vent on the BF. I'll research it for use on the window. Having the window or not is a non issue for me because I cover it with reflectix. It is too bright and hot up there when the sun hits it. If I can't get it to seal I will just buy a can of tar and...

$1500 :shock:

Looks like I'll be researching what Home Depot keeps on the shelf for sealants.

I thought the RV engineers finally figured out that the front windows are a bad idea and stopped putting them in anyway. If I bought one brand new I wouldn't get one with a front window. I talked it over with DW and I will take it to an autobody/glass shop to see what it will cost for them to take t...

Thanks for the ideas on where to get the awning pull strap. I just put it in my amazon cart. $7 with free shipping over $35. Now I gotta go shop some more for the free shipping :P

Front Window Leak

I just developed the typical front window leak. I am camping this coming weekend so I took my BF out for a spin the weekend before to make sure I have no surprises on Friday and I found one. Started fine, drove out of the driveway fine and down the block. Made a turn and drip drip drip from the cab ...

I have a bar that I think is OEM that I use to flick the lever on the side of the awning to release it and then there is a loop in the strap that the hook goes into to pull it down until I can grab it with my hand. I slide it to one of the sides and wrap it around the upright a few times to keep it ...

I agree with Steve. Every other camping website I have been on has an "Off topic" or "General" catagory to just chat. It may seem like a FaceBook but it is discussing stuff with fellow BF owners and is fun.

Honestly, It might liven up this website a bit.
