    Need advice, Dinette Slide-Out Leak, Windows?

    Hello All, It appears that we have a leak in our Dinette Slide-0ut. I'm not sure if the leaks are coming from the windows, but it sure looks that way. We first discovered it when we took a trip in April. At the time we thought it may have been due to windows that were not properly closed. We...

    Windows leak. I can’t do it

    I know I’m supposed to remove windows and use butyl tape. I did it with the dome on my PlayPac a few years ago and it was a huge project and I found out today it has been leaking all winter. There is water everywhere. All original cushions need to be thrown away. The wood is all wet and moldy...

    Replacing the large front and back windows

    Ok guys. I've decided it's time to replace the front and rear plexiglass windows in Mitsie! Well, to be more exact, the seals. They are 50 years old, dry and cracking and I'm pretty sure that's where the majority of my leaking is coming from. I've watched the you tube videos. I bought a...

    I have replaced the plexi and butyl in the front and back windows, which do not open. We were planning to refurbish the side windows this spring.

    double pane windows for Winter condensation and insulation

    I noticed the other night in the RV there was condensation on the windows of the RV. I didn't think that would happen unless we were living in it with the heat on but I guess it does (am remodeling though) with being real cold/snowy and rainy. The issue seems to be the windows are thin and only...

    Installing windows . . . . I need help

    I spent four hours trying to get the rear window into the rubber gasket on my 76 Scamp by myself, with zero success. I then spent another three hours with my brother; extra hands are the way to go. We were able to get them installed, but not quite. The corners were all the trouble. The corners...

    Hello! I'm having issues with leaks in these two windows. Is there simply a way to replace them? Repairs haven't worked long term. Thank you!!! The top window leaks into the motorhome.
