  1. Yes the newer locking weatherstrip is narrower than the original. Still it has been used by dozens of Sunrader owners with no problems. I myself have done at least 5. As for your thinner cut out opening I suspect it has something to do with your sanding the backside of the fiberglass. Don't understand why you felt you needed to do that. Thickening the cutout shouldn't be that hard. Add some of this to the inside of the cutout where needed. I would cut it down to 1/2 inch width though. No need for it to be wider.

    It also comes in 1/16 thick. I think that might be a better fit

  2. Radio is run off of truck battery. If left on long enough it will run it down. Shore power doesn't charge truck battery. Phone with Bluetooth speakers works great for music and you can recharge phone from coach battery 12 volt outlet

  3. I use a full sized feather bed. Full size should be the right fit. I have a high thread count duvet I made from sheets that I put it in. No other sheets needed and when I want to change the sheets I can just flip it over. Trying to get any other sheets on these overheads is impossible and hard to reach.

  4. If your tank is permanently mounted it means it's an ASME tank. They are very strong tanks. Some surface rust isn't going to affect the use. You need to get under there and thoroughly inspect it for possible serious rust issues. If all looks good you can sand it and repaint it. They do not need recertification but propane fill places are more inclined to refill a tank that looks good. Many of our tanks are that old and work fine. This is a Toyota motorhome site but most of the camper stuff applies to any RV. Please check that all the appliances, refrigerator, furnace, air conditioner all work before you buy. Appliances are very expensive.

  5. Plexiglass bends with less inside cracks and deformation if heated from both sides. Aim another heat gun to run inside the pipe. Even if you get the bend to match the original exactly using the old window on top as a guide will always give you a smaller length to the new one. Add an extra quarter inch to the length on each of the long sides and adjust from there.

    What window seal did you buy. Windshield sealant seems extreme and messy. Mistakes can't be fixed. RV windows are usually bedded in butyl tape. Easy to clean up and lasts for many years. My 86 Sunrader still doesn't leak and it's just the rubber original seal. Put in properly they are pretty fool proof

  6. No new ones anywhere on the planet. I checked the whole site and I see many posts about cleaning them and a few about having a machine shop rebuild them.

    Have you taken yours off and cleaned it thoroughly?

    Here's the other part you asked about.

  7. So sorry this happened but after all your work glad you got it back. Ignition lock cylinders for your truck are readily available and not expensive but I think installing them can be hard. I would check for YouTube videos about it to see how difficult it is. Example of the switch.
