Just got back in town and will be repairing the roof this weekend. I am inclined to try the 3M sealant rather than regular silicone. I have used the 5200 and probably won't use that as disassembly would be difficult in the future. I will opt for the 4200 or 4000. Not sure if should get new...

Certainly looks like I need to replace all the fasteners and seal each hole. Things are drying out and thankfully there has only been a little snow today instead of rain. Should be clear tomorrow afternoon so I will drop the top and then cover the entire roof with a tarp until I can get the...

Glad to hear it only takes a day or so to dry out. I just checked on things, running a space heater and a fan on one cord appears to me too much so I pulled another cord in there. If I hit the headliner with the backside of my hand water perks through the perforated white liner -- clearly a...

Thanks for the reply. I've got a heater and fan running in there now. It is supposed to be very cold for the next few days so whatever is in there is likely to freeze. Now I suppose I need to get on the roof and reseal everything I can.

Greetings all. Been away from the forum for a while. Since I last posted details of my Grandby rebuild I have finished the interior and ended up having the guys at All-Terrain Campers replace my sideliner/softsides and lift panels as time had run out and I don't know how to sew. I discussed...

First trip in the "new" camper.... Well, I'm back. My wife and I went on our first trip with the camper last weekend to Santa Cruz and points north and I was really hustling to get things done, or at least done enough to get on the road so I couldn't post my progress along the way. Here is the...

No cabinets, but other stuff... I looked around and saw I had lots of little things to do before I tackled the cabinetry. There was an awning to rehang, a couple of electrical items, aluminum corner trim to put back, and general clean up to do -- the project definitely took over and the single...

The big push -- going for cabinets tomorrow! Greetings again. I'll post more pics tomorrow, but all the panels are cut and openings trimmed. I decided to pull them out for the finishing -- just easier overall. I used a water based exterior grade polyurethane from Varathane. The water based...

Grandby Rebuild - Part 2 So after a couple days the floor pack is repaired and I drove to Woodland for the welding work, plus I picked up a few items I needed for the restoration -- gray liner to patch my tan canvas and the black edge tape. Partial floor pack replacement, edges primed Floor...

Hello WTW forum. I posted once before looking for some advice on broken welds and I thought I'd update you with my progress. I'll start from the beginning. I was looking at a couple used Grandby's on Craigslist and my travels brought me close to this one, which I bought for $1500. It came...

Thanks for the advice so far. I've contacted Ben and per Stan called Chicali. Both have offered good advice and I'll likely go get it welded next week some time. I was anxious to start my reassembly over the weekend, but I've got a lot to do on it so I probably won't waste any time. I'll...

Well, I've been lurking for a while and can finally call myself the owner of a FWC. It's an approximately 1988-1989 Grandby with stove, forced air heat, awning, and 3-way Dometic refer. Paid $1500 plus the cost of going to get it. Me being me I started tearing it apart to dial it in right...
