    I need advise about using a generator

    Thanks for the input Jasper.  I would like to get myself to the place where I have a swing arm attached to the back of the van so that I can carry things like the generator, fuel. etc.  I am working things along as my budget allows.

    I need to seam seal my small trailer. Can anyone offer advise?

    LOL.  I guess that would explain why I didn't find it onine.  :)    I finished seam sealing my trailer yesterday using OSI Max in clear.  I wanted to go with the high grade marine sealers, but I am on a tight budget so I went with what appeared to be the best I could afford at the moment.  I...

    I need to seam seal my small trailer. Can anyone offer advise?

    I actually just finished caulking the trailer and that is exact what I did.  it does make for a much cleaner look.

    I need to seam seal my small trailer. Can anyone offer advise?

    Thanks for the input C-Cat.  I appreciate you making the point that it might not be the best application for the trailer that I have.  And from what I have read I would agree.  It is my understanding that the Dicor product is not the easiest to work with which for me having no experience with...

    I need to seam seal my small trailer. Can anyone offer advise?

    Which Dicor caulk are you using?  So far the only one I am finding is one just intended for flat surfaces.

    I need to seam seal my small trailer. Can anyone offer advise?

    I am seeing a lot of the OSI QUAD and OSI QUAD MAX available, but not Quad 4.  Is there a difference between these that matters?

    I need to seam seal my small trailer. Can anyone offer advise?

    Thanks wayne49.  I was actually looking into some of that.  At the moment I have narrowed my search down to the 3M 5200 fast dry marine sealer.

    I need to seam seal my small trailer. Can anyone offer advise?

    Thanks for all the input.  I have attached three photos here to show you what I am dealing with.  If you look at the photo that I attached to the very first post it will give you the overall perspective.   From where the bulk of the water was in the trailer it seems obvious that water is...

    I need to seam seal my small trailer. Can anyone offer advise?

    Hello everyone.   I purchased a used 4x6 Aluma trailer a few months ago and took my first long trip with it over the last three weeks.  All in all it did well but I discovered that it leaks somewhere if not in several places.  You can't tell from the photograph that I attached here, but this...

    I need advise about using a generator

    Thanks bullfrog.  I am definitely getting the message from everyone to use non-ethanol gasoline.  I will also be picking up some Stabil 360 to keep in the trailer and checking out military gasoline cans.  If you have a link to these please send it on.

    I need advise about using a generator

    When I designed the layout for the van I worked in app. 18 inches for a garage, leaving room for my portable solar system case to mount to it, leaving 2-3 inches of space between that and that closed door.  That has worked out beautifully! I actually chose this particular generator because it...

    I need advise about using a generator

    Thanks for the input.  I had actually gone back and forth about putting the generator in the trailer along with the gasoline.  At the moment I am not sure why I went the route that I did, but it is well worth re-thinking.   I am not sure how I could actually run the generator while it is in...

    I need advise about using a generator

    Thanks for the response and the information.  Since this is all new to me I wanted to make sure that I had a good grasp on everything.  We probably do have the same generator.  That yellow color of the Champion generators really does give it away.  The only thing that I do know is that it has...

    I need advise about using a generator

    Hello everyone and Merry Christmas! I have been gifted a generator to use in my van so I have some questions.   First of all, I have made a place for it in the very back of the van that I just converted.  This area that I refer to as my garage, is separated by a 3/4" plywood wall as well as a...
