Thanks Kim. I recently saw another LoFlyte and the table is supposed to be even Loooonger. Not sure about the support for such a big table. (only the center pole) VK

What a great feature... a real bed (not the small full that most have)

VK replied to Kim H's discussion 'No Title? Here's how you MIGHT get one'

Here in Washington, you can send the last "owner of record" a registered letter about the trailer. If no response, you can apply for a 3 year registration, during which the original owner can claim the trailer. After the 3 year waiting period, you c…

RV on demand water heaters are available; about $1000 a pop and up. They fit the existing compartment: http://www.houseneeds.com/shop/HeatingProducts/WaterHeating/rv/rv500waterheatermainpage.htm I do not think a regular tankless will fit in your r…

VK replied to Tamma and Carey Armstrong's discussion 'Camper trim'

Hi there, try here: http://interstatemetals.com They are near Portland, Oregon. It is called edge trim but you'll need the size and profile when ordering. And yes, shipping is expensive. They charge you for a PVC tube to ship and anything longer tha…

VK commented on Duane Brown's blog post 'Tongue Jack'

We replaced ours on the 66 Loliner with a top wind. It didn't drag the ground but we had to grind the hole out for the shaft. The top wind was better because the old handle was about an inch from Vic's sport truck-fiberglass tail gate... Check the…

VK replied to Bryan Barton's discussion 'Trailer lights on the blink!!'

Test the recepticle on the tow vehicle. If it's OK, Re-Ground both truck and trailer...also check the plug for corrosion; sometimes the plug/recepticles are so corroded the wires rot off. Weird happenings are often the result of a compromised ground…

VK replied to Susan Alexander's discussion 'Removing oven and cabinets'

Often wall cabinets are anchored from the outside before the skin is attached, which means there may be nails/large screws you can't see. Upper cabinets can have screws thru the rafters down into the cabinet framing. To remove, pry out enough to see…

VK replied to T.J. Wylie's discussion 'No toilet...so adding one. Help!'

I am not an "incinerator" expert, but have been told they don't work well if heavily used. The clean out can be particularly unpleasant. They are more for remote cabin type use, where it's possible folks also have an outhouse. I would do lots of res…

At 10:52am on May 24, 2009, Paul & Nicole said…: Quick question - we found some water damage in the back part of the trailer... along the sides. We read about eternabond and are wondering if, since the trailer is older, we should just go ahead and hit every single seam of the trailer to make sure nothing else goes wrong. Any input? Thanks!

The ceiling I can handle, its the damage in the bedroom where it is curved that has me stumped. Anyway, I'll post photos later today. Thank you so much for sending me this note. K

At 11:40pm on May 9, 2009, Pat Daly said…: VK, thanks so much. You can be sure I'll e-mail and stop by if you have the time. Love to see em. I'll probably spend a lot of time just looking at your great photos. I really enjoy restorations as most of us here on our little good old rvs site do; yours is particularly great since you take the time to document the restoration steps which is great! We can follow along even next winter when it's snowing or raining.

Yep, you can change bout anything of yours by just logging in and going to what you want to change, modify or add and click "Edit", then I usually click on the "Preview" at bottom ( I misspell a lot) and then click "Publish". Usually works and can't break anything... at least I haven't yet.

Looking forward to learning from you and seeing your "pets" late summer... meanwhile I'll follow along here and on your Shutterfly link.
Keep on savin em!

I really enjoyed looking at your Shutterfly link above and all the trailers and trailer restoration photos. I'll probably spend lots of time perusin em if that's ok with you. Great learning for me.

Other Good Old RVers you gotta check out VK's trailer restorations! You'll love em I think.

Thanks again Vk and I hope you keep postin here for us to see them come back thanks to your good works.
