    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West 1971 Alaskan 8' CO Rebuild

    With the quality of rebuilds you guys have set the bar very high. I will definitely be relying on your experience. I know my CO has some hidden dry rot but my plan is to try and salvage the interior ash plywood and work from the outside. Second step tonight was to get it off my...

    It has been in the dry since arriving in Missouri and will stay inside until completely resealed and leak proof. We have on average 33 inches of rain per year, not a great environment for RV's sitting outside. I have a question on the CO section. I have yet to find a picture of a CO that...

    Rusty, I think it helped that this one probably stayed in a dry climate its whole life. Pueblo gets 12 inches of rain annually. I can't prove it was in a dry climate its entire life but the owner said he purchased it in Pueblo from the original owner. What is your best guess on the date of build?

    Hi Rusty, yes this is the one from Pueblo. I did not see any holes from the hail I believe the leaks are from poor maintenance and the sealants around the vents degrading. I already am looking for jacks and will definitely add them to all four corners. This was my first experience with two...

    No longer on the market but now sitting on my truck! Hi I am new to this forum and have been following and learning for some time. I have owned a couple of truck campers through the years and still have a real-lite 1999 camper we still enjoy and use often. I finally pulled the trigger on...
