The fridge doesn't work.  I'm rebuilding the fridge space to make the camper more usable to me as I will be boondocking in it on my land for a couple years while I build my cabin.  I don't need a fridge in the camper as I have a chest freezer in my shed and an ice-box in my root cellar.  Once I...

Thanks for all the replies.. I ended up going with PPL Motor Homes.  They were able to send me 16' of EPDM, a gallon of adhesive, and a bunch of lap sealant and butyl tape for only $9.99 shipping.  Heck of a deal.  I should be able to start ripping off the old roof tomorrow.

I am replacing the roof and quite a bit of interior work on a 1996 Fleetwood Wilderness (19' model).  I have pulled the fridge and doing something else with that area of the interior.  I just don't need the fridge and wanted the space and weight savings. What should I do about the propane...

That's pretty good, thanks.  I might go with the place you recommended earlier as it's $100 cheaper even with shipping for a 60 mil. thick sheet.  I'm trying to keep the entire project under $700 if possible.

Thanks, unfortunately water has seriously damaged one sheet of plywood on the roof.  Cost is an issue, but if I am going to go through the hassle of replacing at least one sheet of plywood on the roof, I'd just rather put down a new full length rubber roof.  It's only a 19' camper.

Six months.

I am in Maine, final destination is Southern Missouri where it will then be parked under a metal-roofed carport for the rest of its life.

Brad, thanks.. unfortunately, they are in Florida, no where remotely close to me nor my land.  I will have to go with a DIY solution, thanks for your input though.

Has anyone bought any EPDM rubber lately for a full roof replacement?  I have a 19' camper I need to redo and looking at the various options and not sure what/where to buy from.  Dicor Brite-Ply seems really nice but it's really expensive and they state you must use their own glues and...

When shopping for tongue jacks, what is the support capacity weight listed based on?  I see most A-Frame jacks come in 1,000, 2,000, or 5,000 pound ratings. I need a new A-Frame tongue jack for my 19' travel trailer which has a GVWR of 4,700 lbs.  I've been using my Hi-Lift jack in the...

Yes, it has a deadbolt.  I stand corrected, I'm sorry and thanks.  I just took some photos, I believe it is a TriMark 060-0250: http://www.rvshop.com/print_catalogs/trimark/060-0250_tech_pub.pdf

Floor Plan image.  The front is the area with the water damage and the water damage is only up high so I don't think it was ever a big leak.  I may not have to remodel the entire interior but we'll see as I explore more.

Oh definitely not, it looks like a very simple lock and latch assembly.  I'll try to get a number off it tomorrow.  There's a couple locked hatches I hope I can get the key for as well.

Ok, great.  I just live in the city and don't want to make it easy for any transients to sleep in my RV at night.  Any type of lock is better than no lock for this.

So I don't have any of the keys for any of the locks on my newly acquired 1995 Fleetwood Wilderness travel trailer?  What would my options be?  My most urgent need is for the entry door.  Would Fleetwood be able to replace the keys or would they still have replacement door parts?  Thanks.
