    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West First Alaskan Camper the restore start (slowly)

    Took off both lower panels today looking for rot. The side the pump is on seems to be ok. While it is soaked in hydraulic oil from the pump leaking (yes even the black on the bottom support beams is soaked oil), I need to decide if I want to pull it off an replace it. What to you think...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Upholstery questions

    I just pulled off the old cover and foam on mine (both stank bad) The foam was super dirty (top was completely grey and falling apart). The covers were a heavier upholstery grade material, Reminded me of my parent couch from the 70's. I am deciding if I want to leave it like it was with the...

    Cleaned out the PO’s junk and ripped up the terrible carpet. Found it had at some point a small leak in the right rear corner. Was a little black there from the water staining. I will tear into that over the weekend and see what damage there is. All in all not bad shape for a 51 year old camper...

    Any time. I was going to use 4x4 for the middle and ends of the dolly but my home depot was out. So the double 2x4's work, It is solid and rolled into my garage that has about a 3/4" lip without issues. I used 2 1/2" screws for the framing. Like I mentioned before the 4 swivel casters are great...

    Thanks Keith, I was going to go 1" on both sides but good to know 1/2 also works. I was looking at those Olympian Wave 3 heaters, so thank you for that. Does it fit in the original location or did you have to modify anything. Or is it loose. Currently the surge brake on the trailer is off...

    That is exactly what we will do. While the old jacks are iffy at best we both talked about it I think we can do it. We will have two farm jacks as well just in case.

    Oh and the guess is it is a 1969. That is not 100% for sure. The Wyoming license stickers on the top left show 1969 and 1970.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West New and some questions

    So I have just bought a 1969 Alaskan 8' non cab over. When I went to look at it, it had the ratchet or screw type jacks (2). They are sketchy at best and i have zero faith in them. I was looking at the Rieco standard tripod jacks (4) and I have a question. Do I need to mount these or can I for...
