Update: went with 2x3 lumber on it's side. The metal box beams were 30.00 each and decided too much money. Could not put them in as one piece, or put the ends on the wall with out chiseling the spacers between the old beams. Where the two ends come together I will put a length of 2x2 on the other side. I will take them down and glue everything after it gets back from break repair and the roof sealed. Was going to seal it my self, but for 4 or 5 hundred I will let the shop do it. They will also include a safety check of the gas line and a few other things. One thing the man who will do the roof told me was to ger one of the electeic mulit tools. They come with scrapers and make the removal of the old caluk much faster with a lot less work if I was going to do it myself. Looking forward to getting the 120 and 12 volt wires in and getting the ceiling backup. Will paint everything that doesn't move and send some pictures. When I railed the roof with the new beams it moved the roof close to 2 inches.

1. you do not need to rip the roof off, seems like a harder job unless the roof needs replacing. 2. You are inside out of the rain and cold weather. And you can have a heater on. Hope you do not end up iching like a bear up a fuzzy tree. Going to replace the glass wool with foam board. Not alergic to foam board, still scratchi9ng. 3. It is easy to see if you need to replace any of the roof beams. My roof beams were bowed downward and I wanted to make them straight again. I was going to take off the AC and raise the beams with a jack over time. Today I just attached a 2x4 across 4 of the beams and attached the jack to with another 2x4.made one small sound and the roof went up level. I am going to check on some metal box beams for want of a better word and put them across next to the wood beams. This should make it very strong and able to hold up an AC unit if we need one. Hope to be leaving in May for a trip to Palm Springs CA where I grew up. Want to see how things have changed over the 40 years I have been gone.Then we will head to AZ to see some friends that we have not seen for 40 years.We will then grab hwy 10 to the east coast up to WV to NY to WI to see my new great grand son that I have not seen. Under stand that it gets hot during the time we will be traveling, so may decide on an AC unit. Will be gone 3-4 months and hope to see the many sights this country has to offer. If I am still alive when I have seen them Then I just might go to a foreign country like Canada. By then Quebec may be a free country and I can see two for the price of one.

Thanks to both of you, just what I wanted.

I Will be replacing my ceiling once the roof is level. Plan to keep it that way with some metal bracing, want it strong when I get up there or replace the AC. What is the best material to use for a ceiling. I was thinking 1/4" plywood would make it stronger. Was looking at some stuff that is plastic and has bumps all over it. Often noticed it in bathrooms when I travel. Going to run 120 and 12v to each vent site and to several other places that I think could use power. One other question, is there a fan made that will fit into the vents with out spending an arm and a leg. More like 80.00 and not 300 like some of the vent fans.

I started tearing my ceiling out 2 days ago. think I am allergic to fiber glass insulation as I itch like a bear up a fuzzy tree. Almost done. Found major leaks around the screws going through the roof to hold some part of the AC I think. Roof has a dip in it that should hold 20 to 30 gallens. Going to remove the AC as it does not work except to blow air. Thin I am going to use a jack to slowly over a month to raise the roof.. I will put in some aluminum box beems next to the 4 curved wood beams and attach them to the beams. This should give me a much stronger roof. Should I glue the aluminum beams to the metal roof to prevent any wearing of the roof of electrolicis problems.May do the same in the back so I can put dirty cloths up in a rack and not have it do any damage to the roof.Thinking of putting the celing up with screws and finish washers so I can remove it with out tearing it to shreads. also do not want to buy a heavy staple gun to put it up. Has anyone tried this?

Figured out that I can buy a lot of gas for my Honda 2000i generator for the price of 10 220 lum lamps @ 22.00 each + shipping. May just buy some stick on led lights next to my bulb lamps to give us some light at night. Head lights for reading.

G4 24 3528 SMD LED White Camper Marine Light Bulb 12V $2.00 http://www.1topstore.com/product_info.php?products_id=12570 The prices seem very good, too good? I would like to change out my inside 12 volt lights. Going on a trip in May from Bremertun Washing through California to Texas, Florida. East Coast, back through Tennessee, back to Washington, We will be dry camping when I can and need to save battery. Now if I can only seal the roof. replace shocks, replace breaks, and have money left for the trip

Thank you, wasn't sure.

Does anyone use it and how safe is it?

I would use air to pressure test at the city water connection to see if there were any leaks in the water system. This tests everything but the water tank. If everything tests ok then I would add some water to the tank and look for any leaks around it. If you have leaks and can't see where it is coming from, connect to the city water using a presser regulator and turn the water on a small amount, do not want to flood the motor home. Start checking for water leaks. Might be a leaking sink to a split line. Hope this helps to discover if they just lost the cap or had major problems.

My inlet is at the bottom just before the side ends. To replace mine I would go under the side and cut the inlet pipe.Then I would put a new unit on and connect it back to the plumbing. Would need a fitting to connect to the unit, then a short cpvc pipe and a coupling. I have found that cpvc glue works great with the old gray plumbing, Here is a site that sells a fresh water connector that has a built in regulator. I am going to use it for my motor home. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000R3G2JS?&tag=shopwiki-us-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325

The inlet has a check valve built in it. Replace the inlet unit unit or do what I do and buy a 2.00 screw in plug with strap to hang it i the inlet, Keeps dirt out.

More in my price range, don't know any toy box songs anyway. If I can get the roof deleaked and new breaks I would love to come.

I was thinking it would't work with out some kind of cage. Old and with bad back, just didn't want to haul it out. Think I have found a place by the door to sit it. Thanks for responding
