    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Cabover lifting while driving, anyone else?

    On my trip this week to the Eastern Sierras my cabover was lifting at least 3" on the front from the winds/speeds. I had to use tie-downs from the tops of the hyd. cylinders to the dinette seat mounts to stop it from happening. My pump valve was closed and the only way this could have happened...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Did anyone see this?

    The rarer and cleaner they are, the more valuable. I've been restoring old Scouts for a few years now and they just keep going up every year. It's nice to see people appreciate quality over newness.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Has anyone shortened their lower door to open all the way?

    I would like the bottom door to open as far as the top door so that it is all the way against the right rear of the camper like the top one. Or...find a good way to keep it from closing all the time. I guess you could use a bungee cord to keep it open but I try not to "rig" anything :)

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Cummins adventure camper hauler for sale-San Diego-SOLD

    Nope, it's a bear. We camped in Mammoth this year on the first days that the campgrounds opened. Combined with all the new campers we had some kids a few spots away that were very sloppy campers and this guy came in our site daily. I had fresh trout every day but he was always more interested...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Has anyone shortened their lower door to open all the way?

    As I've been giving my new (to me) 94' CO some much needed maintenance and upgrades I've been trying to figure out why the lower door is not designed to open all the way? If it were only 2" shorter it would not be in the way every time I climb in and out, so, I was thinking :unsure: I might...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West cylinder seals?

    To add to this link, the cylinder cap (on a 94' at least) is not threaded and simply pushes up and off. Re-sealed a cylinder today and maybe lost 1/2 oz. of oil. Key is to leave them all released at the lowering valve with the stops in the ones you're not working on and cycle the free cylinder...

    Thank you for the replies....In the meantime I've already drilled holes and mounted to the 1x2's that run the length of the camper. I'm thinking I may just have to remove and patch the holes I've drilled :unsure: , and just buy a set of the factory racks. I REALLY wish I could have a redo on...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Racks for surfboards, etc...Any slick ideas?

    How about mounting? I was thinking about using 2" lag bolts to attach to the wood runners that run the length of the roof but I haven't seen any done like this. One behind the first vent and the second in front of the rear vent, using 2 bolts per foot on the racks. I've looked at the pictures...

    I've seen a few C/O's with bracing from the camper to C/O section. When I called Alaskan he said that none come like this but I want to add my own. Does anyone know of a place where I can get some aluminum corner bracing like this?

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Has anyone used garage door seals in place of perelli

    Worked out well. I used the garage door harder black "T" type seal (garage bottom)for the lower and cabover portion and the softer type stuff " garage side and top" for the upper seals that attach from the inside and give the final interior seal. I'll update down the road for any problems...
