    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 2004 Hallmark Ute XL tub starting to separate from upper section at front corners

    My ute had the same problem before I bought it. I saw it when I was checking it out to buy it. I arranged for Hallmark to fix it before I took possession of the camper. I was lucky and the camper was only 25 miles from Hallmark's shop. They fixed it for $500.00. They used a piece of 1" x 1"...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Which awning for a Hallmark Ute XL?

    I have a Freedom III from Carefree of Colorado. It's what Hallmark installed new from the factory. Works great. No problem with the roof coming down or up and the legs adjust to almost any length. Hopefully the 2 pics I will attach will show up in my post. If you have any questions just call...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Punching the roof for solar on an 04 Hallmark Ute

    Ardvark, I'm late to your thread but if you still have questions I installed 2 100 watt panels on top of my 2003 Hallmark Ute. You don't need to drill any holes through the roof. You should route them under the A/C unit. You will have to remove it first. Run the wires inside the channel that...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Yakima tracks fastener question

    Nice looking brackets Brian and Ron. My panels were too far away from the Yakima tracks to be able to bolt them directly. That's why I used the square tubing. I thought about the Z bar but no one had any here in my town. I bought and installed the little spacers Bernard recommended. Finally...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Lagun Adjustable Table Mounting System - Lower Price

    3 more pics of the table in action. The really nice thing for Hallmark owners is now you can open the drawer that's underneath the seat. Befoer the pole was always inteh way of being able to fully open the drawer. Now we have a silverware drawer!!

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Lagun Adjustable Table Mounting System - Lower Price

    Lagun update. Here are some pics of my install. I'm still not finished and still debating on how I want to finish. You can see the top 2 bolts are only bolted through the 1/2" plywood backing that I screwed into the existing frame work. Inside the existing frame work is a piece of 3/4" plywood...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Yakima tracks fastener question

    Thanks everyone for the replies. Thanks Bernard for the info on the square tubing possibly being crushed or collapsing. I assumed it would be plenty strong enough. I got the idea from I think Sunman put some racks up on his roof with the same material. He didn't use the Yakima racks, just...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Yakima tracks fastener question

    BobM, did you add a couple of nuts to the top of the bolt just for spacers between the bolt head and whatever you were attaching to the tracks? did't quite follow you on that.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Yakima tracks fastener question

    BobM, That's the fasteners I bought. Did you use the little black plastic washers/spacers or just the metal flat washers? Any loctite or lock washers?

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Yakima tracks fastener question

    One more quick question I forgot to include in my original post. Does anyone know what the little black plastic/nylon spacers/washers are that come packaged with the "A" nuts and bolts from Yakima. Are they suppose to be some sort of a lock washer? I can't see putting them under the bolt head...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Yakima tracks fastener question

    I have a question on what is the best way to attach cross bars to Yakima tracks. I am installing 2 100 watt solar panels on the roof of my camper. I've got the tracks installed and I'm using 1" square aluminum tubing for cross bars. The solar panels are through bolted to the 1" square with 1/4"...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Lagun Adjustable Table Mounting System - Lower Price

    I'll post some pics shortly. I got detoured with installing my solar system which I will post a write up as well. It's been quite an adventure. The Hallmark Utes definitely need some reinforcing due to the nature of the cantilever effect of the Lagun mount. I found that I could push down on the...

    Hello DoGMAtix from Farmington, NM. I've been following your thread with a lot of interest.

    I just bought a Lagun table mount and I wanted to share with everyone on this site the new lower price. After discovering the Lagun on this site from posts from several years ago, I had to have one. Back in 2014 it looked like the price was $275 or $225. I just bought one from Marineteak in the...
