Well I finally got back to work on the keystone. At this point I have a new base built for it with the first coat of primer. I have moved the front wall back so now I have a 8' base and a 4' cabover. I rewelded to fit my windows which are 48" x 22" for both sides. I have new siding on the...

Tell me about it. 4 month old twins with a 2 year old and below 0f temps and a 80's Keystone that isn't finished yet. Ready to get things rolling.

My plan is, when I get around to it, is to install a roofmount heat pump and use a generator. In my fifth I use a Honda EU 3000I which works great for the ac but it is a pain to try to carry around. I am actually in the process of getting rid of it and getting a Yamaha 2400I. They have the...

I know from previous camping trips with my 5th wheel that camping at rocky national park, west entrance can get a little fun with propane items also. I woke up and did my usual hit the switch on the propane water heater. Laid back down and awoke to banging on the side of the camper. Went out...

If I understand right the propane refer has a 12 volt fan that has to run to remove the heat from the combustion and cooling. This to me seems like the only draw back. On a hot day you will still have to monitor the battery because of the fan. Please correct me if I am wrong but this is the...

I can only assume that Isuzu will still supply the Chevy half ton and International the Ford but I dont know. GM is building their own on the 1/2 ton.

Just for the record, will someone post the full name of the 303 product? I was in a marine store this week and there were three different 303 products, one was a "cleaner" on was "conditioner" and I forget the other. I didn't know which to buy. Second, do you clean the liner (inside and...

At some point if you are having troubles with it it would probably be easier to just replace it with a one piece. From my experience, once you start laying stuff out on the roof you open a can of worms that ends up taking more coatings and more time and work to prep it. I have found a lot of...

On all the other rvs I have had I winterize them as follows. Drain water Tank Drain Water Heater Use Water heater bypass kit Blow out the lines with an aircompressor Pump antifreeze in system through water pump and quick hookup kit Run through faucets etc untill good an pink Clean up the mess...

Should have added some strength also along with the weight. Got any pictures? What do you think about using the plastic rivits with it.

Update: Well the camper is completly gutted. All the interior finish is off, the heater, sink, stove, propane box, windows and all interior cabinets have all been removed. I have a majority of the siding removed along with the over cab base. I had intentions of getting the floor pack redone...

Looks like I am all alone in the dakotas

I really don't like the idea of glueing it up and was considering using screws or rivits. From what I understand using a metal fastener will allow the temp to transfer through and may allow condensation at those points. I don't like the idea of glue simply for the fact of if a guy has to or...

I have mine tore down to the bare frame right now. I have also considered using the frp (dairy board). The only consideration I have heard about would be the fact that it may bow after time and may get brittle when its cold. I talked to an outfit that builds fishhouse up in this area and he...

Mine is in the same condition. Actually I only have a lift panel in the back (which is garbage) and just using 2 x 10's to hold up the front.

I don't understand why a guy couldn't come up with a different system for opening and supporting the camper compared to the system that is there now. After seeing how bad the wood can get over time I have been thinking about this also. The system thats out there works good but I think there...

I think one has been on ebay for awhile also.

I have had some experience with this style heater in a friends fish house. When the battery would get low the furnace would not light. Made for a few long and cold nights until he found the problem. It had enough power to run the fan but in the end it would not fire the furnace. It actually...

Maybe I'm wanting too much from this! Before my present job in plant maintenance, where I deal with mostly AC, I worked primarily on fire and emergency equipment. The ambulance manufacture that we did warranty work for did everything the old fashion way using Sure Power isolators, White...

By the way, when i say an isolator I simply mean using a relay (continous duty). I wouldn't necessarly worry about the shore power charging the main truck battery. Normally if the relay is installed correctly, and you charging system is working right, when you shut the truck off the battery...

Sounds like a good sales pitch but I don't know if I buy it. I have had many gm rigs, 95 full size blazer, 97 1/2 ton pickup, 98 3/4 ton burban, 04 duramax and my 07 yukon xl. All of which I have used to pull campers with on board batteries. The rv plug on the rigs have a direct connection to...

Please excuse my ignorance! I've never used a battery seperator before. I'm used to using straight up battery isolators but from what I've read, they cannot be used with my type of alternator because of a sensing issue with a voltage drop across the diodes. I would like to hear more about...

I think its all a matter of the center of gravity. You want to make sure the cg stays infront of the rear axle.

I am in the process of redoing a Keystone camper right now. I am actually going to shorten it up to 8' but do have the same intentions. One thought I have on your floor plan that I have thought about is the people in the cabover part would have to climb over the guys sleeping on the lower...

Can't a guy use the OE tie down spots inside the box to tie the camper down instead of drilling holes in the box? I was under the assumption that these would be fine.
