Hi all, I have a lot of work being done to my camper right now. Before re-sealing and coating the roof, I thought it would be best to install 2 high-quality vent fans for several different reasons. Based on what I've seen, the Airxcel MaxxFan Deluxe 7500K Smoke Model seems like the best, when...

Thanks, I have a 1996 Lance Squire 8000, and I understand it has an aluminum roof. At this point, for the roof I'm thinking about using Heng's NuFlex 311 Self-Leveling Silicone as a sealant, and Henry Tropi-Cool 887 Silicone White Roof Coating afterwards. In one of the Amazon reviews for...

Someone in one of my threads said he used 3 types of products when sealing his RV: Sealant, Eternabond Tape, and an RV Coating. I watched a couple videos where people are using Eternabond Tape, and like it: https://youtu.be/AgNaUgPiwaE https://youtu.be/spdYGUtZVcU But other people have warned...

I'm trying to figure out which self-leveling roof sealant would be best to use for my 1996 Lance Squire 8000 truck camper with an aluminum roof and sides. The guy at the RV store recommended Nu Flex 311 Self-Leveling Silicone for the roof. I've read that some people hate using silicone...

Hi all, I'm leaning towards using Pro Flex for the sides of my truck camper: a 1996 Lance Squire 8000 with aluminum sides and roof. I read an article which said that the Pro Flex for roofing is better and more inexpensive than the Pro Flex for RVs. I'm going to call Geocel and ask about...

Thanks, so far it's looking like the Haloview MC7108 Camera System is the best given all the features: wireless, night vision, 7 inch monitor, up to 4 cameras, SD card recording, 720p resolution, camera mic for audio, etc. But if anybody has any other suggestions, let me know.

Yeah, I'm having it resealed, and I'm thinking about having the roof, and maybe the sides, coated with the right RV Coating depending on what material the roof is made of. The guy at the RV store said it's fiberglass, but the brochure said it's one piece aluminum, so I need to get clarity on that.

Hi all, I did some research, and I'm wondering if the Haloview MC7108 Visibility Camera System is the best camera system for RVs. Does anybody have any thoughts on this, or if there are any other Brands & Models I should look into? Also, I'm thinking about getting 3 cameras total for the rear...

I took the camper to the local RV shop, and it seems the consensus is that everything has to be re-sealed. One of the guys told me that Par Bond is currently on the roof. He also said instead of trying to chase down a leak, it would be better to just strip all the old stuff off, and redo...

Thanks Wayne, Have you heard of Auto Tech Quick N Easy Adhesive Remover? It seems like the best stuff, at least from the reviews I've seen so far...

Hi all, I've been doing research on what the best solvent is to remove RV window and roof caulk. I don't know what was used by the previous owners, but I'm currently using Pro-Flex to seal up the windows and panels on the sides, and I'm open to caulk product suggestions for the roof. I have a...

Somebody told me about these Chevy and Dodge mirror adapter plates for OBS Ford trucks. I don't care how it looks. I want whatever's best for daily driving and hauling the truck camper. Is 5280 Custom Fab the only company that makes these mirror adapters? It looks like these are the 2 options...

Thanks, I think I'm going to go for OBS gooseneck mirrors.

I did some research awhile ago and it seems the top choices for towing mirrors are the Grand Aero 3, and the McKesh towing mirrors. I was leaning towards getting the Grand Aero 3s. I have a 1995 F350, so I don't think I can install OEM towing mirrors. Is that correct? Let me know if you have...

I ended up getting Cooper ATPs for $200 off the 4. They had a slightly used set with about 20 miles on them. I still have the 55,000 mile warranty. They were 245s, so not the size I intended, but they should be good enough. I also decided to buy the certs and talked the guy down a bit on those...

I'm looking for Torklift r3501 Rear Tie-Downs. I really only need the receiver ends that bolt onto the truck's hitch receiver. Let me know if you have those for sale, thanks.

I called Les Schwab. The Toyo Open Countrys have a 50,000 mile warranty, but since I'd have to pay tax, I don't think I'll go this route. The guy on the phone seemed good, but the local Les Schwab got mixed Yelp reviews. I also called the local Discount Tire. The guy there said Nitto...

The Discount Tire Direct rep suggested moving to tire size 265/75R16, and he said they'd fit on my current rims, and wouldn't adversely affect the transmission. I didn't realize Nitto and Toyo don't offer a warranty on their tires, so I'm going to skip them, unless the rep was wrong. He said...

There aren't many reviews on the Mastercraft Courser CXTs. It seems they "may" be similar to the Cooper ST Maxxes? http://roadtraveler.net/mastercraft-courser-cxt/ I'm currently leaning towards Nitto Dura-Grapplers. Does anybody here have experience with those? They got almost all positive...

I live in the Pacific Northwest, where it rains a lot during the winter,and intend to travel all around the US, and maybe Canada as well. Mt. Baker is close, and I may want to go there with the camper in the winter. I'm going to guess I'll be driving around 10,000-12,000 miles a year, but I'm...

I need to get new tires for my 1995 Diesel F350 to haul around a 1996 Lance Squire 8000. Which tires are the best for me to get? The guy who sold me the truck recommended Cooper 16 ply, and someone I know who lives in his truck camper suggested Class F tires. And should I get road tires or...

Thanks!

Thanks, I ended up getting the Lance Squire 8000, and a 1995 F350. I'm going to have a mechanic inspect the truck, and tell me what he finds. Then I need to see about mounting the Torklift rear mounts on a hitch receiver that I'll need to buy...assuming that plan will work. It should work...

Hi all, I bought a 1996 Lance Squire 8000 truck camper, and a 1995 F350. We should be able to attach the front tie-down mounts, but the rear ones seem problematic. Based on these photos, what should I do? Thanks

Thanks for the thoughts. I'll be going to view the camper again today, with the intention to buy it if it checks out. I'll be taking a couple guys with me to do the inspection. I think I'll offer $3,800 with the intention to settle at $4,000. I'll pay $4,500 if I have to, but he did tell me to...
