Gary, thanks for that info. I will look for the make/model today. I never noticed air being drafted from the vent panel in front of it, but I will look for specs. There are clearance specs listed on the metal box, but they are all listed as 0", except one that is 1". Overall, this box has much...

There will be significantly more/better ventilation than there was in the original configuration. We have created a "box" composed of the entire framed area in this picture, which will also include 5" (vertically) along the outside wall at the right end (about 30" wide). The (residential)...

We have demo'd the kitchen and are building new cabinets. I was an architect before I was a mom, so I do have experience with how stuff is put together. I am working on the access panels for the propane heater and hot water heater right now. Will peg board provide adequate ventilation? Photo...

Can I just say, I will never complain about my RV wallpaper again?? :) Congrats on persisting and getting her this far!

I am in the process of removing our old baked-on decals. - first, I bought the middle-priced multi-temperature Heat gun, which was too hot, so I exchanged it for the bottom-of-the-line heat gun from Home Depot (or Lowes). I use it with a plastic scraper, which MELTS if I am not careful. - I...

Ernie, we have come to the conclusion that a plywood extension would be helpful, but we are unsure of how to make that happen. Gary, the black is tape along the edge of the plywood that is on the slide. Until I inspected it closer, I thought it was something applied. It now appears to be a...

Not trying to finish in one day -- but every day I delay makes the time I can spend on the project shorter.

So, I did a little investigating, and mine is not the same. The edge appears to be solid wood, beveled and covered with some type of heavy duty tape. When the slide is pulled in slightly, i can get my fingers under it to the knuckles, but there is nothing indicating screws. And there doesn't...

I am having trouble visualizing which part might be removable. But I will investigate again!  Were you able to see the screws from under the rv?

Do you think we will need to install something to fill the gap left by the carpet? We have decided that sheet vinyl flooring is our best choice for the new floor.

We need to replace the floor in our kitchen/living room + slide.  (We are demo'ing and rebuilding our kitchen, so while the cabinets are out, floor will be changed.) How do you do the "edge" under the slide, where there is a metal flange and a carpet edge?  The carpet is wrecked and gross and...

Figured I would update y'all on our experience, in case anyone else has the same question. The day before, I actually called both border offices, asking questions about pet rules (they did not care about the rabbits, they were sort of wishy washy about the cat but agreed a health cert was not...

How would they search an Rv with slides?  We can climb on the couch to get to the fridge, but we tend to pack things tight ... I did call both US and Canadian customs offices yesterday to ask about the pets. I am pretty sure we will be ok. It's the kids I am worried about ... Wink wink.

Also curious abouy: crossing border with pets - have you been required to present health certificate? Where and when? **Cat needs a rabies vac, which we are getting on Tuesday. We will be getting health certificates on all the pets.  I read in one place that the rabies vacc should have been...

we have been remodeling our bunk room, and we have a dilemma.  We want to put a "built-in" cabinet where the heater vent is.  (Long story, but it really will work better there.).  We have considered just blocking that heater vent, but we are unsure of the safety of that decision.  We haven't ...
