... Price is about $50-60 for a 6' x 2' slab. It can be cut and glued to fit any size of cushion.
I'll have to see if mine even has/had a flapper??
I know the outside vent cover has a locking flap, but it's plastic, I can't find good metal covers, they all seem that is 5-7 years the UV will have eaten them up and replacement will be needed.
$50-60 is that special family discount pricing?? cause the stuff I was looking at was closer to $90-110??
If that is the "public" price I'd love to get a link or a phone #, thanks.
Thanks Repo

Sorry guys, work is starting to kick right now, pulling permits for our first job, meeting with customers, getting materials ordered, it's all leaving little time to work on my rig. I was hoping to almost finish this week, but that isn't going to happen. The inside is fully functional and usable, so I am trying to finish the outside now. Gave it a bath last night in preparation for some sealing, and that is the only thing I have done in the last couple days. Next weekend I will be sleeping in this thing, I hope.

You're supposed to cut down a tree and make the lumber, remove the wife's house curtains for the cushions, and redesign everything using space-age stuff. j/k of course, nice work on the cabinet and booth. Is the face material you used for the cabinet the same plywood you used for the paneling? If so, that is some very good looking stuff.
Hey West yeah the face of the cabinet is the same birch plywood.

I have that some flat couch/bed up front do you have any ideas to make it more comfortable for both sitting and eating, it works great for sleeping.....
Nice work on the cabinets, I haven't worked out the microwave location, what are you doing about securing it ?
I have left in our hood w/ vent fan in.... but the cold leaking thing has me rethinking this,
I may just stuff the hole during winter sleeping ( ear? )
I like the IDEA of a hood to keep the moisture down while cooking in winter.
Our Fantastic fan roof vent a few feet away might be be enough too, we'll see.

Repo I'm going to trim out the microwave opening with 1x or something so it can't fit through the opening. That's the way my other RV's have been, the microwaves were never themselves secured.
I have a roof vent fan close by to my stove as well so I'm not worried about losing my rangehood. I can install it at any time if I change my mind.

Don't bank on that!
I really like the look of this old Sunline, it's old but could easily pass for a much younger camper. Looks nice washed up clean.
CavemanCharlie wrote: Yes, it does look nice. Does it have a covered window on the back???
Yes the front and rear windows are covered. The stock hinge on the back cover has been removed though, and replaced by 4 little utility hinges so water is able to run right through and down the window. A closer look revealed silicone all over the back window and those hinges. Was a mess, decided to pull it and reset the window. Not sure what I'm going to do with the awning now. I like it, but not mounted with those hinges. Need to find a 6' long channel hinge like the front.
Window removed. There is only evidence of water in the right lower corner.
All cleaned up.
Window cleaned up and ready to install. I'm out of butyl tape so using regular putty tape.
So this is what I'm doing now, checking every window, door, hatch and sidewall penetration. Some are getting reset, some are just getting caulked. Only 4 days left to finish! It's going to be close but I think it will be road worthy by Friday.

WOW!
I could only dream Diddums started out that nice.
He came looking his age
I have a 7' front window with cover, the hinge will be cut for my needs, I only "need" 3', IF the other 4' would give you enough so that you could fab up some ends, I'll send it?
What did you use for buytal removal, a plastic scraper and MEK, that is VERY clean looking.
Road worthy by FRI.....
Thats great man, congratulations, I hate dead line but sometimes it is the only way I'll ever get any work done.
I'm working on our TC for tonights trip, last 3 days of ski season.
I'm sad I wasn't able to get Diddums ready for this season, but we have summer next and winter just after that.
Wish I was closer to ya', UP. I still have my siding brake set up and could bend up drip caps for you in short time. For installing windows,I used that self adhesive window flashing tape. I cut it so that it wraps the jambs, sill, and header but doesn't extend past the window flange. I figured that if the window-to-siding seal failed the water is going to be coming inside past the framing and not into the wall cavity. Of course, water is a snaeaky bastige and will seek even a pinhole so no guarantees about pefection.
You'll have to keep us up-to-speed when you take your Sunline for it's first trip. I understand that you're going to be parked at your work site so you could be finishing up on the TT while there. I've done the camp-and-build a few times, mostly years ago when I did precut homes. We logged a lot of miles in those days and not too much got done after a full day of framing, though, only huge amounts of elbow workout and watering the bushes.
Repo thanks for the offer, very nice of you, but I picked up a piece of aluminum channel that will serve the purpose to funnel water around the window.
The old putty comes off very easy. I use a scraper, actually my go to tool is a wood chisel believe it or not. Mineral spirits or simple green work well for the final clean.
West I've got a brake myself, didn't even think about using it. Course it's buried in the tool trailer and I wanted something heavier than I can bend with the brake anyways. You know I was thinking, if either of us get a leak we might not ever know it, what with all the rigid insulation and our interior wraps.
Btw I will be on a dirt bike trip this coming weekend. I still race enduro's, my last year in the Senior class. Next year I get bumped into Super Senior since I will 50+. I guess dirt bikers age faster since I've been in Senior class since 40. This weekend is not a race though. Our club will be cleaning the Moss Lake trail on Saturday and riding it on Sunday. Lots of work but fun too and I get to try out the Sunline wooh wooh! Oh yeah we will be exercising our elbows too!
So I just about have it ready for the weekend trip. The outside is complete and all sealed up. Installed the carpeting tonight, and the table. Went well and looks nice, yeah that's another edge glued panel, a round one, 5/4 thick too.
So I'm sitting there at the table tonight, enjoying a cold beer and making a list of things I need to get and stuff I need to finish when I suddenly realized, OH CRAP!, I stapled the perimeter of the carpet down and forgot about the water lines I ran under the floor. I checked the right side and was clear, no staples into the lines. Then I checked the left side and sure enough, I put one square into one of the water lines! Damn, I just added 2 hours of work to my schedule. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb!!!! Can't believe I did that. Oh well, here's a few pics of the carpet, before I have to tear part of it up.

j/k of course, nice work on the cabinet and booth. Is the face material you used for the cabinet the same plywood you used for the paneling? If so, that is some very good looking stuff.
