It's not

I guess it's just an owner preference type of thing. I don't imagine plywood absorbs much water vapor, given it is composed of multiple layers of adhesives beside the wood layers. It's not like...

Look around

Most any paint or varnish will act as a vapor barrier. There are specific paints formulated for that purpose and were, when I used one, latex based.
If you want to keep the wood look, an oil based...

Lame iPhone shot

We were just north of Indianapolis IN for the eclipse. Reality was better than the photo image, as Bailey's Beads were visible.

I'm still waiting for the "changed my life" effect from seeing the...

Dog ramp

Aren’t there a slew of canine vehicle ramps? I had a telescoping aluminum one that was rated for big (50 kg and up) use.

Guessing

The email address request is just the initial door to open up the hustle conversation. I’ve seen the owners away for a daughter’s wedding, one, a pastor at a conference and the hustle to get some...

Yes

I have been surprised numerous times by how much a little lubricant can make a huge difference.

Just guessing

My rig is in storage, but I think the sink is vacuum formed of ABS plastic. If so, that plastic takes coatings very well.

Remove the sink and do a trial on the underside.

Time to unspool some duct tape

Some tape should keep the flap in place during transport, and can be removed during use. I'd suggest replacing the vent as I'm not sure it can be easily repaired.

Clean the surface very, very thoroughly

Clean the surface very, very thoroughly with rubbing alcohol (IPA, aka isopropyl alcohol) before applying the adhesive tape. It may still not bond well. Some of those UV protection sprays utilize...

I was surprised

My 2016 E19 came in somewhere above 500 lbs tongue weight as measured at the Mississippi River Rendezvous. I was not overloaded or heavily loaded at the time, and mostly a stock trailer...

Propane

Can't you switch to run the water heater on propane?

Once upon a time

A long, long time ago, yes, it was.

Times change, they say.

The finer the family, the more spectacular the plumbing disaster

"The finer the family, the more spectacular the plumbing disaster."
So goes a line from Bailey White, in one of her novels.
You must be a fine family.
I've tried to take that line to heart. ...

As I'd posted recently

I'd take one decorated like this. Sweet, lucious, organic and looking very inviting.

Visually confusing

To get a colored Escape, my eye finds it visually busy and confusing with the white hatches, door and covers.

I'll take one in any color, as long as it's white.

Cover the gelcoat

My understanding:
Either a film placed over the fresh gelcoat or a coating of PVA (poly vinyl acetate) is needed to allow the gel coat to polymerize.
A sheet of film can be better as it can contour...

Other tape

Big box & RV supply stores also sell an awning repair tape. I've not used any, but it's an alternative.

Do a word search for awning repair tape. There's lots of offerings.

Depends

At 9 years of age, and depending on storage conditions, this may not be out of the ordinary if your rig has been exposed to the weather and not under some sort of cover.

You're only 2,000 miles away, and a visual inspection would be best before I pop off with opinions....but.

I'm guessing

I'm guessing, even with a long drain time, all of the water does not leave the fresh water tank. I had a 16' Casita with a more accessible tank. I added a marine screw in access hatch to the top of...
