diy

I have a 2021 27RK that is prewired for AC in the bedroom. Has anyone installed one DIY ? If so, any detail on how you cut the hole and did you have to add any addtional support? Thanks.

I am trying to wrap my head around NIRVC's new labor rate of $240 per hour. I was told it matches Newmar's rate. Certified FAA mechanics, have to sign off on every job completed, and are held responsible in the event of an accident and their rate is between $70 and $150 per hour. RV techs...

Hey Folks. So Since I've been in search of a good battery box made in America and finding literally zero results to the specs I personally require and many other skoolie owners would need, I posted on a solar forum for help. DOCAN is a USA company that does resell some Chinese battery boxes at...

I'm thinking 🤔 about making a bag for crap there that extends from one side to the other with zippers and webbing attachments to the side buckles.... I can make it water resistant or maybe use mesh so that it doesn't matter.... Anyone ever seen or use anything like this... I have sunbrella, or...

Hey folks, I’m an owner of one of the gen1 2026 E13’s and did not have the option for A/C when we first purchased it. My wife has a medical condition that gets worse with both heat and poor sleeps, so an A/C of some sort was a must for warm summer nights. I didn’t document things too well...

'01 T444E/AT545, adding a 13-row Mishimoto 40,000lb GVW stacked-plate cooler, SKU MMTC-SP-13N for reference. This model does not include a fan. Google and its lovely AI companion are inconsistent in how to actually go about doing this... and apparently so are a lot of mechanics. Bus has the...

I am wondering if anyone has created a storage area under the front of their 5th wheel that does not attach to the trailer? I do not want to put snaps on it and Velcro is weak and especially in the cold. If you have ideas I would be interested in hearing them.

I just purchased a used 2022 Caravel 22FB. My plan is to delete the dinette and replace it with a nice desk setup. I have extended periods where I can work remotely. I'd like to plan multi-month trips, so a nice desk setup is critical. Before I start removing stuff, I'm curious about: Am I...

Time to change front curtains as they have been stained from some water exposure. (See Pics) Took to local dry cleaner and they did not have any solution, nor do they think they could be dyed. Have any folks purchased new curtains, if so where? Any other recommendations would be appreciated. RV...

I am thinking to remove the L-shape couch and attached chair and install two (2) recliners. We watch the TV that faces forward located above the furnace. While the chair part of the couch that faces to the rear works fine for one family member, the other family member sitting on the couch has to...

The switch on my dashboard isn't functioning correctly. If I "wiggle" it enough I can finally get the headlights on. So, I'm thinking I need to replace the switch. Has anyone done that? Does anyone know where to get the part? Thanks!

How to wire a new Haloview rear camera that has green, red, black wires on the camera cable …to the white & green wires coming out the original rear camera on the coach? Do you just connect red wire from the cable to the green on the coach & the black to the white on the coach? But then what do...

Tried to find any posts on here about fixing spongy floor with epoxy and the results they had. Its from a leak, which has since been repaired, in front of the door. The floor is the styrofoam, sandwiched between two 1/4 inch plywood sheets. My question is, if the plywood is rotted out will the...

Hi folks. I am looking to change out the cushions for my lounge/bed. The foam is so light that I might as well be sleeping on the bare plywood bed. I weigh 215 lbs and the existing foam cushions are supposedly 4 inch and collapse to nothing. I either have to get better cushions or sell the rv...

Hi everyone - After having a few different campers over the years (cabover, pop-up camp trailer) this is our first endeavor into the travel trailer space and super excited about it. We picked up a 1989 Wilderness and the previous owner did a great job updating the inside, painting, new...

We have this board got wet and now the paper is peeling off. The board is half wood and half what seems to be cardboard. Has others had issues with this? It's right by the door. Has anyone fixed it? I posted a picture of it. We are DIY'ers but a little stymied on this.

The Wife has always wanted a mirror in the wardrobe closet of our trailer (that she refers to as her Diamond, which tells you how exacting she is about what goes in it) Nothing looked right to her. Recently she was viewing a walkthrough of the new 2026 Trade Wind 25FB and said“ come see this...

GF wants a spice shelf hung over the counter next to the kitchen sink. Is there a standard for interior stud spacing or is it like the rest of the construction process and just each one has a different spacing. I assume studs are 1X2 fir strips at most. I've heard if there is a wall paper seam...

Hello, I am trying to troubleshoot if my dexter axles are still in okay shape... they are getting to about 20 years old but I dont really have the funds to willy nilly buy axles or space to install right now. Its a 23ft safari. Followed guide from here: Torsion Axle - everything you want to...

My wife and brought this 1995 Class C back to life a couple of years ago. It only had 60k on the engine. We inherited it with a roof leak on the cab overhang part of the roof. We coated the roof a few times and used some roof tape in a few spots. We replaced some of the interior walls due to...

Hello skoolie community :) I could really use some commiseration, validation, and inspiration. I'm a year and a half into my build and I'm at that stage where it feels like I'm simultaneously so close to being done, and a million miles away from it. I'm struggling a little mental health wise...

Hi all! Lately we noticed our bathroom pocket door looked off kilter. I took the trim down, got a wrench and adjusted the bolts. No matter how much I adjusted it, the door kept sticking out along the bottom. I removed the door, got my head lamp and looked in the pocket. The furthest in...

We have a 2020 rPod 176 manufactured in the summer of 2019, therefore is ~6 years old. This trailer has been stored indoors every year from Oct to April since 2020. We live in Michigan. I have not, up to this point, touched ANY of the original sealants, caulks, etc. We have not had any...

I’m getting ready to replace the DEF sensor on my 2017 Allegro Bus. Since it’s been some time, I thought I’d post this once again. I’ve been following this issue for years. I’ve had the check engine faults twice now. I’ve used the DEF Sensor Simulator (thanks Archer2) to get home. I got the...

We go our 31SS before there was an explorer option so we don't have the wet bay heater (or insulation) contemplating putting a 12v heater for some colder camping, and since it was 36 degrees last night, and the rig isn't yet winterised as we have a few more trips planned in the upcoming weeks...
