RE: Best way to seal roof?
I have a 1997 Xplorer. A few years ago I found a spider crack area and a deeper gouge on the roof. I covered both with eternabond tape. It's still there. These 2 areas were not leaking but I wanted to protect them. I have had leaks from under the gutters which cover the joint of the fiberglass roof and the metal sides. I've removed them twice and resealed. Eventually a leak started again. I covered the gutter with white duct tape and no more leak. I will do the whole of both gutters next. The rear window has 2 crews on the outside top hinge. This is the safety exit. The caulk wears off and they can leak. I recaulked, but then covered the whole hinge seam with matching black duct tape and no more leak.
Do not walk on the roof!

RE: COVID PERSONAL EXPERIENCES
I just got my third booster shot on Monday as I am immunocompromised and had no antibodies from the 1st 2 shots. Hoping to see antibodies when tested next week. The injection spot was a bit sore for 1-2 days just like the first 2 shots. I am staying isolated at home or on my fishing boat.
I did get antibodies after the booster shot, Hooray!

RE: College Football Is Just Around The Corner, Can't Wait!
I wonder if the crowded stadiums with unmasked fans and no vaccine mandate will be super covid spreader events during this ongoing surge. Tulane, Oregon, Oregon State, LSU and Boston College require all fans to be vaccinated. I think all should. Hawaii is not even allowing any fans. With my weakened immune system my docs told me not to go into Michigan stadium where I've attended 311 games.

RE: Vax Passports
An incredibly slippery slope for something of dubious value. If what we are being told about vaccinations is correct, the primary threat is to the unvaccinated. In the US, vaccines are widely available and cost free. The only people over the age of 12 who are unvaccinated are that way by choice. So they have put themselves in harms way.
Furthermore, recent studies have tended to show that vaccinated people can carry and spread a viral load equal to the unvaccinated. That means that the threat a vaccinated person creates in spreading the virus is equal to that of the unvaccinated. Therefore, being vaccinated only benefits that individual, not others around them.
The vaccinated are much less likely to catch covid. So if everyone is vaxxed those with compromised immune systems are much safer.

RE: Absorption fridge 2 way vs 3 way
Is there a substantial cost difference between 2 and 3-way? I use 12V for travel, propane for boondocking and 120 when plugged in. If I didn't prefer to travel without a flame I just wouldn't use 12V and not worry I had a 3-way.
Dave
I do this also.

RE: Replace ac in Roadtrek Van
When I replaced the 11k Dometic on my Class B, 1997 Xplorer 230XL, I went with Dometic's high efficiency 15k model and am able to run it with my Honda 2000. They no longer made the 11k unit then.

RE: RV roof vent cover
MY Class B has a fantastic vent. It is a 1997 and I park it outside all year. Never had a problem. I do not drive with it open.

RE: Traveling now with COVID 2.0 (Delta)
I have cancer and am immune compromised. Tests showed I had no antibodies from the vaccines. SO I will probably not go on my FLorida snowbird trip unless things change. I hope to get the booster ASAP. I have been told to stay isolated.

RE: Generators
My 5 gal extended run tank works great but I only have 1 Honda 2000. I have used the tank 3 times when my house lost power.

RE: 2019–2022 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC POSTINGS
With a compromised immune system (due to chemo a stem cell transplant and a immuno suppressing drug) and no antibodies from the Pfizer vaccine I need a booster ASAP. I wonder why the FDA is taking so long to approve that?

RE: solar question
I have a 21' Class B and have portable solar panels; a 120 watt suitcase and another 60 watt I just got. I have some extension cables for them so I can park in the shade and put the panels in the sun. It works well.

RE: Class b generator needed
My 1997 Xplorer 230XL has a spot prewired and insulated for a genny. I use that for much needed storage. I do bring a Honda 2000 for the few times I need a genny. I have a closed bin for carrying it in the van and then set it all outside. Since I do not need a genny much the space is more valuable.

RE: Boondocking Water Question
I turn the water heater on for 18 minutes, which is what works to get the water just the right temp to use without the cold on. So I just turn the hot water handle on and off. I do not leave the water heater on.

RE: Question about solar and my LiFePo4 batteries
It is the controller connection. The last time I had it out I wiggled the wires going in and the amps jumped way up to normal then back down.

RE: Question about solar and my LiFePo4 batteries
I think the problem is in the hookups to the Solar 30 controller. I may not have the wires in correctly. I found one wire not in properly. It is weird how to use those screws.
