RE: Black frp sheets.
I used to sell and distribute FRP. Black is a very unusual color. Even as a distributor if we ordered it there was a minimum.
Can you get it from the RV manufacturer?

RE: Social distancing
If we had a "like"button, I would click on it.
Unfortunately; the Aunt Ednas in our camp ground can't read.
No one here is doing social distancing. It is a very sad situation.
My wife, (83) and myself (84) used to love to take a daily walk, but we now are pretty much trailer bound !

I have a 6 foot long walking staff. Used appropriately it keeps all the close talkers at bay, along with my big "keep your distance" button.

RE: Skylight/roof repair
I am always hesitant to post an experience I have had that others may benefit from on this forum.
There are always those who are more experienced and have different opinions, and are always more than willing to share them.
This worked for me I thought I would share.
I am probably better off being an observer and not posting.

RE: Skylight/roof repair
So, using the Dicor you covered 6 inches, the same girth as you did with flexseal?
Did you dicore over the screws too?
I can't imagine Dicore Lap sealant not working. I suspect user error, so curious what your method was.
Dicore is good for RVs since it is a good idea to re-do this every few years anyway. Dicore is easy to remove and re-apply.
Sounds like by a few years the flexseal will deteriorate so can be cleaned away with a small wisk broom at least.
I covered the area thoroughly I know what I am doing, I spent 50 years in commercial construction.
The issue with the Dicor for this job in my opinion is the small hairline cracks and fissures that happen after application and I doesn't "flow" into those small spaces like a liquid.
Thanks for your upbeat post.

Skylight/roof repair
I had a problem with the skylight in the shower of my travel trailer leaking I had used dicor twice previously and was very careful with the application of the caulking.
It still leaked.
I live in rainy Oregon and camp year around so I wasn't going to park it with a blue tarp on it....lol.
So I bought a qt of liquid Flex Seal (as seen on TV) I dried off the area with a towel and heated and dried it carefully with a hair dryer. I again carefully filled any suspect holes and cracks with Dicor and brushed one coat of the thick coating about 6 inches wide around and up on the perimeter of the plastic skylight.
Success! We have had lots of rain since the repair and it is bone dry inside.
I am a believer!

RE: Out with the old in with the new
We were camping for the New year also. We were at Sunset Bay near Coos Bay oregon.
The ocean was incredible, huge waves and breakers on the cliffs and rocks, amazing.
Looks like your Border Collies enjoyed it too?

New Years camping.
We usually winterize the trailer in late November and start camping in April, but this year we decided to go camping over the New years holiday.
We moved to Oregon 3 years ago and are going to take advantage of the mild winters.
We will be at a full hook up campground on the Oregon coast so we will have water and heat.
We are planning on a special grilled steak dinner on New Years eve.
Other than a late winter trip to Arizona years ago this will be our first winter trip.

RE: New travels trailers are getting scarce
Just wait until springtime. All the "if we get a trailer we can travel all we want" folks that had no idea what they were getting into will be dumping some hardly used units after the kids and/or wife decide it is not for them.
Won't be this spring. With the media pushing the virus so hard. Camping will still be the way to go.
I don't know about this being the media's fault.... it might be tge overflowing ICUs and morgue?

RE: Smallest RV anyone has full timed in?
We full timed in a 26 foot no slide trailer.
The only thing that was a problem was having a really comfortable seating arrangement. The gaucho sofa and an armed dining chair did not cut it.

Birth of the toy hauler
A long long time ago over 40 years now, I owned snow mobiles, we would travel most weekends with our friends and kids and have a great time.
I also had an acquaintance who owned a RV dealership.
I went to him and floated the idea of buying a beater 24 ft travel trailer and gutting it then figure out how to open up the back to bring in a couple machines and live in the front part.
He told there was no way that would work and basically said it was a stupid idea. Huh!
Now everytime I go to a recreation area and see these toy haulers I realize that I was just underfunded and not brave enough to make something like that happen.
I know I probably wasn't the first to think about it, but there was nothing out there like that in mid 70's.

RE: Virus and RGV Rv parks
I like being safe I hope you are safe, safe is good, safe is better than sorry.
Maybe when the vaccine arrives and a lot of people take it it will be safer than safe.
Sorry, be safe.

RE: 2021 trips already being canceled.
My brother and I are considering a two week trip in February to Yuma for some sun and golf.
We are both ancient and have underlying health issues.
I am wondering if this is a good idea. It could be even worse by then?

RE: hot water heater
Water heater.
I opened this thread NOT because I was interested in the topic, but just to see if somebody would have to tell the poster that it is a WATER HEATER.
Thank goodness I was not disappointed.

RE: How about a RGV update
We are enroute at this time.
The numbers are much improved
But only due to some pretty tight restrictions.
We will have Mandatory
14 day quarantine when we arrive and limited activities after that.
We are in Palmview.
Quarantine by choice or mandated? By who?

RE: 6 Volt Interstate batteries
I bought 2 EHD Interstate 6 volt batteries. That lasted over 4 years. If I would have treated them better I would have gotten better life.
I just replaced them with the same battery. Real interstates not costco really brand. These are the 225 amp batteries.
They are performing well I won't switch.
I paid 300. Installed. Everything cleaned and professionally installed.

RE: Avoid drive thru Salt Lake City
The first time we drove through SLC towing a 20 ft travel trailer my lovely was so scared she cried the whole way.
The last time we drove through Nevada to avoid it.
