Re: Norcold N841 in our 1987 34W
I guess there is a downside to the Engel, no drain. But I plan to fix that.

Re: Awning support support
Can’t link at the moment, from mcmastercarr used these two part numbers for most of the riveting.
Sealing blind rivets
97524a149
97524a033
Either would work, one is 5/32 the other 3/16 and probably overkill.

Re: Composter toilet and wall removal
I was really surprised at what the wall removal did for the interior. I repurposed some wood from the door way and used a dowel rod stained to the correct color so it almost looks factory.

I had a Engel 12V chest cooler/frreezer available when I pulled the original 2 way. Have no regrets so far.

Awning support support
Re the awning on my '89 32 footer, where the support meets the shell was getting pretty damaged so here is what I did. Using .063 T6061, I used as a plate to go between the arms and shell, there are structural pieces at the junctures that can be tied into, which I'd suggest if possible. The rivets a...

Composter toilet and wall removal
On my '89 32', I removed the wall and that made a big difference in the room available, both bathroom and hallway. I am going to hang a curtain amidship for privacy. The 'composter', is a nature's head. First I capped the tank with a 3" mpt plug, then tapped that for a 1/4" mpt to 3/8"...

Re: Wood Stain Match?
Funny that should be asked. I just went over the woodwork in my '89 32 footer. It has the reddish tint to the wood work, the wood may be birch, I can't really tell. I went down to menards and picked up a can of minwax polyshades gloss pecan. Couldn't have had one better custom made. Used a rag to to...

Re: Rooftop sealing with Henrys Tropicool silicone
I think some of that idea about silicone not sticking is from the older days with a different formulation. I've used henry's with GE silicone rtv and have had no problems applying one over the other. I have applied henry's using 2-3 coats just cause I had the extra and have had no problems. It still...

Re: Pressurizing the water system on a '66 Sportsman
That is correct. I am going to all the trouble of replumbing and fixing, I don’t want to watch water dribbling from the top of the tank inlet. These trailers are pretty good, just need a little attention. I saw a new airstream price of $212k. Makes me feel I can give this one a little attention.
