Dicor lap sealent is a favorite for all RVs. Nothing is specific for just a Sunradar. The lap sealent is for flat surfaces.

Hey bbc, in Ohio we can put RVs inside barns on all County Fair Grounds! Cost me $200 for 6 months for inside storage! Check it out in your state! Best Price available that I found,

Hey Matt on my Granville I had the original bare metal roof and the seams looked like yours. I decided last year to reseal and paint. It was by far the hardest project I’ve done on Grannie! I removed the rear metal piece that covers the rear seem and completely cleaned the area. I put eternabond tape over the seam are reattach the metal strip with much larger SS screws. Put dicor lap sealer over the new screws and replaced the rubber inset with new. Then covered all the edges with lap sealant. Did this all around the roof line. Also cleaned and reapplied lap sealent around all vents. Completely prepped the bare roof and applied a product called Snow Seal. 3 coats. I then applied more eternabond tape to the front seam. Proper prepping is the key!! The big differences I noticed was how much cooler the inside is now how much quieter it is when it rains! Highly Recommended and Good Luck!

Unfortunately on my rig the valve was frozen and adjusting the arm was worthless!

Man I want that!! Great price!

Hey Tye 1st Thank You for your service! I’d run away from that conquest Man. Crazy price and you don’t know what is under that fake grass on the roof. Try Craigslist or eBay. The season to buy is coming up soon. Good Luck!

Thanks Rogue! So that is the whole valve. I do have one of those wands. Haven’t tried it yet!

I’m talking about the entire valve. I can remove that little drain valve you show but not the whole valve. Makes it difficult to try and flush the tank through that little hole! I can’t replace the entire valve with a new 1/2” valve. 32 year old heater. Or possibly that was the whole valve back in the day.....just so smalll. Derek would know!

My hot water heater in Grannie is original. I don’t use it. If I need hot water I heat some over the stove. Saves a lot of propane!

He still can’t remove the entire heater drain valve from this unit! Doesn’t come out.

I have the same type of water heater and the drain valve does not have a way to remove it. No 1/2 threaded anywhere. Just a metal washer permanently attached to the heater. You can remove the little petcock insert on the valve if you’re lucky but the entire valve is not removable!

Hey pp, the 22RE is very durable But underpowered! I don’t drive over 60. Get 15 mpg going slow. 65 mph will result in much poorer mpgs. I’ve never driven Grannie in the mountains. I’ve learned to manually down shift the auto tranny when the engine starts bog down on a hill. The 22RE loves to rev. They are fun to drive but don’t expect to get anywhere fast!

Hey T check out my post “The Magic of Zep” and see why we love Zep here. The surface must be stripped of any old wax and be extremely clean before applying! Good Luck!

I’m with Linda. I disconnected the force arm and tied it to the frame. Unfortunately the brake basis valve didn’t move. Frozen in place! Hopefully over time it will loosen up but I doubt it.

Excellent comment by jj. Discharge the capacitor First! I had the exact same problem with my AC as you L. I replaced the start capacitor and all is well. Contact Coleman for the correct capacitor part # or if you can read it on the cap. Must be the same. Good Luck!

I agree! On my rig the ladder is built well compared to others I’ve seen. I replaced all the mounting screws with larger SS screws. Very secure! Unless your rear bumper is reinforced I’d be concerned about a bumper rack. There’s lots of bouncing back there when driving!

If you have a ladder I’ve had success using a ladder bike rack.

Should be 17 gallons

Thanks again!

Thanks Fellas! Had an almost empty tank but took only 8.5 gallons of propane to fill it. Is that normal?

I wouldn’t do anything different if your getting “18 mpgs” Wow!

Went to fill my tank today. 1986 Granville. The only way to get propane into the tank was to open the bleeder valve if that’s what it’s called. When the valve was open it expelled lots of propane while the tank was filling up! Strong smell! Finally liquid propane came out the valve indicating a full tank? I don’t remember having the valve expell propane before when opened. Is this normal?

Hey W this set up allows me to drive Grannie with the roof top AC running to cool the coach and the cab (my cab air is nonfunctional.) I use the basket cover to shield from rain and the genny is chained to my bumper.

True but when I go to drain my tank I make sure the water level is low in the tank,so,the pump doesn’t run that long. As JM said I have no guts or glory. I look @all the valves and they beg me to pull them so they can start leaking after 32 years lol!
