    Thank you I thought the same thing when I saw the price 😂. I’m going with this method stainless self tappers. Thank you for the feedback. I’ll post after I get the done. First I have to change the gasket.

    Holy bat poop Batman, TWENTY SIX DOLLARS!   Go to the most expensive hardware store in your area and and buy the appropriate number of pan head 3/4 inch number 10 stainless steel screws and washers and install with them.  Save about $22.  Plus you can pick your own head style, philipps, torax, robertson.  Can drill the holes to install or buy self tapping screws. 

     

    Or you could buy zinc plated #10 X 3/4 truss head screws, these also come in self tapping.    Cheaper but will rust over time.  The larger head or washer  is to keep the screw from working through the plastic over time.   #8 x 1/2" Standard Thread Phillips Truss Head Screws, Zinc, 100 Pack

    Most Coleman units have 4 studs topside that secure the shroud to the unit.

    I would think dometic should be similar.

    It has openings for the screws , my question is what type of screws/nuts or fasteners? Thank you 🙏🏻 

  5. Situation that I have right now is trying to open the latch on my spare tire? Also watching the feed on the mount situation too. How do I open latch to remove cover ? Thanks 

  6. Hi WME, just saw your cargo strap solution...I have delamination around the top sides and rear. What size cargo straps did you use, I have proflex to seal with . I’ve been grappling with sealing exterior via vises, not to many options. I would prefer tackling wood rot from the interior. The cargo straps sound doable with a little more of your insight. Thanking you in advance.

    Usually what I do is fill the tank maybe half way or less with a shot of bleach run the pump to fill the lines and go for a ride over hill and dale. Drain and refill clear the lines with clear water.

     Maineah I see that you have a ‘87 Toyota and I’m aware they are not all the same . I am trying to figure out how my fresh water tank gets filled. I found the hose attached inside was broken and attached to nothing .

    Below are the photos of what I found under the split couch. There is no opening to attached the city water hose.  I’ve looked and tried to lift it , the only spot I see is the manufacturers sealed opening. All the connections are correct , going to the Shurflo water pump but the rest is not connected to fill fresh water tank ....any suggestions?

  8. When I cleaned up the cab over there was layers of 1/8 wood over the insulation . That must have been where the screws were grabbing. I have wood that fits under the aluminum frame , should I add that or just replace the insulation and 3/4 marine plywood and see if the screws will catch that wood?

     

    open to suggestions/experience and thank you 🙏 Hunkaman, Derek, and Odessey 

  9. This is the section from front of cab. I removed this piece and bought new Stainless steel screws. Also I replaced butyl tape too. 

    Then the issue is, that it won’t join ? 

    The 3rd photo is from inside, showing the gap. 

    When the screws go in all they are catching is the floor of the cab over. I don’t think that’s how it goes. Should I place wood on the inside along that seam?

    Thanks
