RV Water Damage Repair: Demo Day 14 Aluminum Frame Slide Repair

[@johnderbabian6198]

Great video. As I mentioned before, contact glue (which Gorilla Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive is) really needs to be applied to both surfaces for maximum strength. Spray both parts and let it dry, then bond. I like how that piece fit in the bottom.

You know, you did tell me that before. I promise I’ll categorize that in my brain this time and remember it 😂

Try Red Guard as a waterproofing under showers and on the walls . On your roof replacement it looks like the rear top corners leaked. Mine was worn through by the tarp meant to protect it , what about putting a cap across the back to prevent premature wear. Thanks for the video

Great video, been following the project. You may want to try ripping down some wood pieces to slide into the aluminum tubes. It will strengthen them and give the screws something to bite into. And they will keep the tube from flexing when you drive the screws in. Most manufacturers do that around doors and at joints. Keep up the great work.

Great advice, thanks!

MUCH BETTER FIX THAN THE FACTORY

[@macnitt4039]

I agree😊

[@WoodTramp]

Legit, thanks for taking the extra effort videoing details of what you are doing. Appreciated. Also, subbed....i have an old camper to work on.

with the couch, you really should look into "kregg" its basically how you build whats called, "pocket furniture", basically you pre-drill screws into a perfect 45. then as a tip, either heat the screws before you screw them in, or you can drip wax onto the screws so they go in easier.

I have a Kregg jig, that’s how I make my pocket holes for framing and face frames 🙂

@Fallen into camping, Hey 👋 I am curious, what was the thickness of the flooring you used on that slide out ? It looked kind of thin to me. Or is everything supported by the aluminum frame ? I am still amazed at the depth you go to - to repair these campers. I think it is freaking awesome. I have said it many times already, but it’s is TRUE. I know guys who wouldn’t go halfway to repair their campers if they had to. Shoddy work = shoddy results = they end up selling their problems to someone else for as much as possible and then go buy new. I am not that way. I’d much rather LEARN how they are put together and how the real repairs are done. Your tutorials are the absolute BEST. I really appreciate the work you are doing.

[@fallenintocamping]

If I remember correctly, it was 5mm underlayment. There is an aluminum frame that supports the weight of the slide, so the piece underneath is really just to keep water out. It’s what was originally underneath, and I didn’t beef it up any because I only had 1/4 inch between the bottom of the slide and the rollers inside that bring the slide in and out, so I chose to stay pretty true to the original size!

[@fallenintocamping]

Also thank you for your kind words 🥹

If you run your headphones through your shirt the cord stays out of your way. Not that you may care but that's how I use mine so I thought I would share. Also you have a great little helper great job to ya both😁🙏🇺🇸😎

[@fallenintocamping]

Haha it’s funny that you would catch that! I don’t hardly ever wear headphones because I work while my kids are home and need to hear if someone is calling me, but my husband was home that day 😂😂

[@marshallwarren9947]

Just found your Chanel and I’m loving it! I have a keystone passport 2012. And I’m wanting to put an LED strip under the awning with its own switch because the “porch light” on those things suck. Can you do a video on that?

[@fallenintocamping]

I did this on my personal camper not too long ago! I’ll catalog it in my brain and try to make a video soon! 😂

[@marshallwarren9947]

@@fallenintocamping awesome thanks!!

[@tearsofjoy1625]

What mil thickness is the tarp that you used?

[@macnitt4039]

For the algorithms

Why would you kill the bug, it was outside in its home environment. If you don’t want to see bugs seal your home up and stay inside. Don’t murder them.

[@fallenintocamping]

I honestly don’t even remember what bug I smushed in this video, but it must have been one that could have harmed my children. If you watch any of my other videos, you’ll see I had a bird lay a nest inside this camper and I waited months until the birds flew the next before I started renovating because i didn’t want to disturb them. Another one I had a crawdad make its way into the yard and set it free. Lots of frogs, and other miscellaneous cool bugs. They don’t bother me at all, I think they’re part of Gods amazing creation. But I won’t take a chance if they might harm my family, because God put me in a position to take care of them.
