    I had the same problem with the veneer delaminating on the upper half of my camper. While I had the two halves separated and blocked up, I re-glued the veneer and used drywall corner bead to hold it in place. You can't see the corner bead once the two halves are back together. Then I put the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Storing dinette table in 1966 8' NCO

    On my 1956 Shasta I have to use slats between the benches to support the cushions and lay the table on the floor. The narrower table on mine allows easier access to the bench on the road side. I can't figure why yours would have been made just slightly too narrow. The table fits just right...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Anyone here familliar with Mitchell campers?

    I've only ever seen them on the internet, but I really like the Fishing Hut too. They also made a small travel trailer with slide-outs that was pretty unique. Here is a link that I found that might be useful to you: http://mitchellandsonscampers.webstarts.com/index.html

    Here's a picture from an Airstream that I was fixing up (it's gone now). It used two brackets that locked in the up position putting the extension flush with the countertop.

    I made a T-shirt from my decal print. I haven't gotten it yet so I can't vouch for the quality, but if you want to try the link and order your own feel free to do so. I think that you can change the colors,and sizes to suit you. I'm not getting anything from this, the price is whatever the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West working on making Tee Shirts

    The idea of an Alaskan T-shirt sounds good but get your orders first before printing. About four years ago, I had 10 decals made and offered them for $15 each to cover the cost of design and production... it took me two years to sell them and recover my investment. Some of the online T-shirt...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Is There a Serial Number Registry for AK Campers?

    We could start our own registry - my 8ft NCO is 1276-M. The "M" could be that it was built in Manheim. Here's the original receipt:

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Mounting an 1976 8 Foot Cab over on a 1995 Dodge Ram

    (If you haven't already) Be sure to check the width at the rear of the camper and your tailgate opening of your truck. I (and several others) have had to shave the back end of an Alaskan to get it to fit for the ride home. That way, if you need to take a sawzall and some other implements of...

    Hey Craig, are you talking about a TruckFridge? I got my Engel Fridge/Freezer the other day and in reading the instructions it says to operate it at regular intervals if being stored and suggests that you use it as a second freezer or fridge during those periods. It sounds like they're saying...
