We bought our Chinook on Friday January 21st 2011, the goal is to go camping in April. The Chinook is really hip, its as if we got it from a 1976 time capsule. So while we're remodeling it we're gonna try to save as much as we can but.... lots of parts of the camper are disintegrating from age.
For many months I have wanted to complete my little interior remodel project of our 76 Toyota Chinook. However my progress was headed time and time again because I was vexed by severe leaks that I could not locate.. Not to mention the drudgery of pulling out all the rotten parts. Finally, I found the little screws around the bottom edge of the pop top. These little screws were so rusty that they caused huge holes to form in the bottom and instead of draining out the sides of the rim the water poured into the interior. I used some clear, all purpose silicone sealant and squirted it in the holes around screws and on top of each screw. Finally my leaks are sealed and I am one major step closer to the fun part of my project, the remodel.
