OK, Guys an Gals! I think I am about to throw in the towel on this one and look for something else. If I do decide to junk this one, do you have any advise (I am sure there are a lot of opinions about this). I have just read a debate about aluminum frame/fiberglass sided vs. aluminum/aluminum...

This ad will be going down tomorrow. We are loading for the scrap yard today.

Thanks to all of you for the good advise and sentiments. I am just too stupid to give up on it, so I will continue to try and breathe new life into an old beaten down reprobate (like me) and hope for the best. I have always had but one dream and that was, when retired, I could get out and see...

The following parts are a last time offer. If not sold, they will go to the scrap yard in two weeks or less. 1 Left front fender, 1 right front fender, 1 hood, 1 inner fender (92) 1 inner fender (86) 1 radiator support (86) and 1 grill. $300. 00 or make offer. these are off of an Arizona truck...

ed9824v and redbone: I think plastic welding is something both my brother and I are going to take up as we both now have Travel Trailers. My fresh (white) water tank was sitting where the hole in the bedroom floor is. luckily, the heavy gauge plastic under lining kept it from dropping out. As I...

Newt and RVTRKN: I have had it a year and a half and bought it in Mississippi (land of the lost) and yes, I suppose I could go to court, if I could raise the money. Won't happen because I only have S/S for an income. Thanks for the concern and good intentions but it is just my mess to clean up...

SSteilow: Thanks for your reply to this post, Welcome to TDR, and hopefully we will meet up out there on the road one day. I retired in December of 2006. I was hoping to be out full timing before now, but have had a few setbacks including the damage to this trailer. I don't mean to blemish...

GCroyle: Yep, that ouch and etc, etc,etc says things about as well as it can be said. Thanks for the "Good Luck". I will need it. Gonzo 1066: Yeah well, with my current financial situation, I bought cheap and paid the price for doing so. I hope I can at least make a usable trailer out of it...

CBari: Thank you for your reply and input. Because of the response I have had referencing repair as opposed to replacement, I am definitely going to research this further. today was a very busy day for me, so as of yet, I have not had the time to check out Plasti-mend, but I will in the next...

Back wall of my travel trailer. CHECK your unit for any and all leaks!! The previous owner of this one did not and this is the result. Damage was hidden by quick fix repairs. The type of poor work leads me to believe it was done just prior to selling it to the "SUCKER OF THE YEAR" (me)! Yes...

Thanks redbone! I have decided (I think) to go with new, but may still want to talk to the guy who did yours. John and I may want to fix the old one for the experience, just in case we need to do another repair to either his or my RV. I am going to try and post another thread on the risk of...

TLane... . Thank you for that. I was wondering, as I have never done anything with RV black or freshwater tanks. I was considering repairing the old one, but have heard from a few sources that the plastic doesn't allow many types of glue or sealer to adhere to it, properly. My brother and I...

Thanks redbone. Any idea on how to attach the toilet to a new tank? Do you have to cut the hole and get some sort of kit to install it? I am not sure which way I will go, new or repair, yet. In a way, I am restoring this oldie. If I figure out how to post pictures on here, I will post what a...

This is actually Jim JMDancoe on my brother's page. Have any of you ever repaired or replaced a Black water (sewage) tank in an RV? If so, here are my questions. First, can these tanks be repaired? I have heard both yes and no, due to the type of plastic used. I have an antique (like me) 1990...

LJINLA: Your idea of buying the used gas motor truck is doable, however as others have said, get ready to spend a lot of bucks. Also get ready to put in a lot of time and hard work. Make sure you have or have access to a good shop and plenty of tools. Prepare to spend a good deal of time on...
