6/30/18       Getting the A-liner ready for the season. This may be the last summer that we use it before moving to NZ, or not, but we have some camping planned. First issue is to replace the front dome window casing as the old plastic one is broken and buckled, and just ugly. I bought some nice oak mullion that I joined to make a 2" x 1.5" angle stock from which to make the new frame. I'm mitering the corners and hope that I don't have to modify the opening too much ti get it to fit. Photos to be posted soon. The next order of business will be to apply Eternabond tape to all the external seams to try to stop the persistent leaks that seem to plague so many A'liners. More on that soon too.
7/1/18        The new window casing is made, now to sand, stain and install it. We put the first Eternabond stripping on the left side vent yesterday. It went on well, though is super sticky stuff to work with, not at all forgiving if you put it in the wrong spot!
