    Remodeling 1996 Damon Ultrasport

    Dick, thank you for your kind words! Ernie, Next time I'm in Lowes I'll spend a little more time looking at the trim (probably should just let my DW pick it out.. LOL).. I was going to use the aluminum, but I like your way better. Thanks as always! Hoping to have the floor completely finished...

    Ya know.. that's a good question Ernie.. I'm going to run by Surplus Warehouse today to look. I'm sure they do. That would probably be better than the aluminum trim I am currently using.. I'm learning as I go here.. :)

    Remodeling 1996 Damon Ultrasport

    The blue tape is holding the laminate panels in place at the moment. I haven't secured them yet. Just getting everything cut, sized up and in place. Yes, I'm going to put nose trim around the top. Below is a pic I took last night. I have to go get another piece of trim today. This project is...

    re: rubber thread for stairwell. I found a rubber mat at Lowes for 8 bucks made of recycled rubber for the steps! woo hoo! perfect. Here's a pic (still need to trim the bottom piece).

    Directv portable satellite on ebay - anyone tried this kit?

    I'm just too stubborn to use a sat finder.. LOL. I have a compass. That seems a little pricey to me.. but, convenience justifies the price for some. For those on a budget.. You can find everything you need locally for less than $100.00.. Dish = $25 (flag down a Direct TV van and they'll sell...

    Thought I'd start by sharing some of the Mods we've done

    Isn't that the truth.. When I finish this remodel, it will be very hard for me to part with mine as much time, money and effort as I've put into her. My wife jokingly refers to her as my mistress.. LOL. At least she knows where to find me. :)

    insulation under driver seat in Class A

    I just bought the EZ Cool insulation for use under the engine dog box and I'm very pleased with it. Wish I had found this before I installed the new carpet in the drivers area, I would have used it there as well.. I just used standard carpet underlayment in that area.

    After a record breaking winter here in the south.. The temps are warming up and I'm ready to finally get out and try to finish this project (is it ever really finished?? LOL).. Ernie, I wanted to ask you.. earlier in this thread you said to get commercial rubber tread for the stairwell. Where...

    Hot water tank Element

    Seems like you should be able to install a cut off switch to turn that heating element off when not needed..

    Fresh water tank leak

    On my 96 Damon Ultrasport.. I finally figured out the way to get the water tank out was to remove the screws along the bottom of the coach.. that strip of metal is hinged and folds down.. behind it you can access screws to remove the facing from the bottom bin area..  Once that is off, the water...

    Skylight problem

    Eternabond is expensive, but worth every penny IMO.. I bought a roll of roof seam tape and covered my seams with it.. i also put it around the skylight and around the vents.. There were small leaks around the skylight and also the front seam before.. NO leaks now.. :) I also bought a roll of...

    How to replace wood trim?

    That facing is probably all one piece.. (well, several pieces screwed/tacked/glued together to make the facing) held to the wall/frame by screws you can only access from inside the cabinet.. Most likely, the only way to remove it (without ripping it out) is to remove the fridge so you can get to...
