Thanks that helps! I have spent many hours tearing out the old wood walls. What do they cover the walls with in newer MH. Is it like Ardra F stated a type of wallpaper like material? In the past, to have the new walls match the old I had to stain it and then lightly sand all the walls and apply...

I am replacing the inner layer pieces of the wall. I have used some 1/8 inch plywood with a veneer on a TT that I had to re due for the inner walls before, but I just used small nails and did not glue it. I have a Overland Motorhome. It was made in 1985. It was a very strong glue. I just...

I did a search for the last 45 minutes. Was not able to find what I need. I apologize if it was out there. I am replacing the wall in my MH that were water damaged due to a person leaving the MH out for a year with out checking on it. What type of glue should I use?  The old walls were glued in...

I have thought about the deflation in price of the TT  if I take off the awning. I am still undecided! ??? I have priced a new awning around $900. I fell into the to eager to buy, to realize I should have not got a rig without an awning. I was also trying to weigh the options if I used the...

I recently purchased a Motorhome without an awning. I can see where there use to be one, however it is not there. I also own a TT and it has an carefree awning on it.

Dave is going to help me post pictures I took to large of a picture. But once they are on- here is my rig. Brian

Thanks All! My rig is a overland 524s motorhome. I was hoping that I could get all the locks done to only have 1 key. I also thought about a locksmith, but I was hoping I could buy them keyed alike.  I have 10 locks to get recored, that just adds up. My old locks need replaced one twisted off...

1. My rig did not have the awning on it when we bought it. I was aware of this, but I am a DYI'er and was going to order one to install myself. The arm placement is 14' 7" apart. Would this be considered a 14' or 15' awning? 2. Where would be the best place to purchase keyed alike locks for the...

Thanks for the welcome. I have learned allot already just in the few days I have been on. I hope to be running into some of you on the forum.  ;D

I do not have any pictures yet. We are suppose to get snow tonight so I am not sure I would be able to get some soon. I live out in the country so if it snows we drift something fierce.  The information I found was from an email from another person looking for information on a slightly newer...

Thanks for the info- Any helps. I also saw on the web Fleetwood bought out Overland so I am not sure who actually bought them out. . The coach is nice. I was told in 1985 it cost $38.000. This is only a 23 footer. Sounds like allot of money for the day. I just need to do some work on her. At...

I recently bought a 524s Overland Motorhome. (1985) Just wanted to see if anyone had any information on it. The only thing I can find it was bought out by Mallard Coach in 1992. Other than that Nothing. Any information would be helpfull. A manual would be nice- But I know I am dreaming.  ;D...
