Justin, unless you're planning on doing a full submersion, with occupants, I think you have the water problem covered

Cheers
Paul :thumbsup:

Keep away from the damn carwash, there's no way you can equal those sort of pressures in normal everyday use

You have to remember, we're a bunch of potato farmers. Everything is usually overdone. Besides, what a sales tag line "a submersible". That ought to set us apart from the rest!

And it will be super clean for delivery. :lol:

Brick: With a 1 1/2"x3" tube frame with 2"x2" crossmembers, 14" tires and wheels on a Dexter torsion axle, topped with aluminum covering a plywood body with a lot of real diamond plate, fresh water system, knotty alder cabinets and a couch that folds into a queen bed we were thrilled to be at 1100 lbs. We are hoping that the 5' will be about 100-200 lbs lighter. We will know next week what the 5' weighs with all the bells and whistles.
Anybody have any really great ideas of how to keep the rear door from leaking at the edges of the hinge? We have gotten it tight but it sure takes a lot of effort and man hours to get that portion sealed up. We are giving it a pretty good test and maybe need to lighten up on our expectations. We are testing it in a car wash with a direct shot with high pressure and it is not leaking unless we shoot it from the back as if a category 5 hurricane. At that point water leaking is probably the least of anyone's concerns?

Legacytrailer... The more you describe it the better it sounds! And I sure agree with Paul... If it can stand a carwash you should be fine. As for adhesive caulks... I've had very good results with PL urethane... And it spreads like mayo... real smooth. Plus I like that it comes in a gray that is very close to aluminum color.

When it really gets bad, I don't need no stinking umbrella. I carry blue tarps. :lol:

Yes, there is a tear under all that stay-dry stuff.

Boy I wish I still had that truck. :cry:

Wife even be liking it...The paint or pinstriping even matches that beautiful blue tarp... :lol:

But we also notice you speak about it in past tense.... :thinking:

The third one down is like the one we use on the edges of the rear door. The top one is like the one we use on the edges of the sides at the rear door area. For the amount of labor in getting it water tight we sure could throw in a large blue tarp alright!
