Thanks Linda. I was able to both repair the one you see in the photo and purchased a replacement if needed. Thanks for the heads up. Iflyfishwithmytoyfriends

Thanks WME, I think I found it!

looking for lid for electrical input Any ideas?

Ditto with the mono-brow. I ordered the wheel with the most positive reviews on Amazon. I watched a YouTube video of the wheel in use and it looks like a no brainer. I will post pics. I hope others will chime in too. Thanks Iflyfishsanderinhand

Thank you again for your very helpful posts. You guys are a goddess send! I really appreciate the input. I had no idea this was a decal! I have not seen this on other Sunraders. I looked and found some more of the decals are also cracking. There are a number of these stripping wheels on the amazon site. Is there a specific one you would recommend? Again, thank you very much for the help. Thank you too WME.

I am making progress on the Barkeeper/Zep upgrade to the exterior of Casper, my '87 Sunrader. I want to remove the crackled, aged paint between the two front windows. Any suggestions? Thanks, Iflyfishwithmytoyotabuddies

Great idea Derek! Thanks

Thanks, it is not finished yet but making good progress. I have been using another silicone remover but think that with the method of using strips of terrycloth towels, soaked in remover and taped to the old silicone is working. Whew!! I will post more images as we proceed.

Update on Silicone project. The silicone was very thick and incredibly hard. I came up with an alternative. Cut strips of towel, saturate with silicone remover and let set for many hours and it comes off!! Here are some pics. The project is not done yet but wanted to share the hack I came up with. See original images above to compare.

Thanks Linda, good info. I appreciate your consistently helpful posts.

Great stuff you guys! Thanks Iflyfish

Again great input from you guys!! Thank you for your thoughtful posts. I will post pics as this project emerges. Iflyfishwithmytoyfriends

Thanks, I had read that they were available. Any more info on source for windows and seals?

A previous post on how to remove oxidation on fiberglass showed me how to refinish Casper, my '87 Sunrader. I am posting pre pics and will add to this as the project is finished. As a note of interest I tried WD40 and a plastic ice scraper to remove some of the silicone overage around the windows and it worked! I have ordered another product specific to this purpose ReMov Silicone Adhesive Polyurethane & Gum https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_dp_s_web_0?ie=UTF8&search-alias=aps&field-keywords=ReMov+Silicone+Adhesive+Polyurethane+%26+Gum I'll let you know how it works. I also ordered plastic scraper for the job https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HLWB0BM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Here are the "pre" pics. The 5th picture down shows where I removed silicone overage with WD40 on the lower corner of the window.

Thanks Linda.

Checking back to see if anyone has found a new resource for front coach curved windows for 87 Sunrader? I assume all Sunraders use the same plastic windows? Iflyfishthruaglassdarkly

I started another thread on macerators and it has evolved into a discussion of toilet paper. I once did the experiment you will see below using different toilet paper, including "rv" toilet paper. The best in my experiment was Angel Soft, the cheapest paper readily available. Here are the results of someone else's experiment. Enjoy! Iflyfishwithangelsoft

Great idea! I have been looking at inexpensive wireless license plate camera/rear view mirror systems. I wonder how I might attach a camera to the INSIDE of my rear window. Any ideas? Iflyfishbackingup

Great discussion! Appreciate all the thinking here. Is this the ZEP? https://www.amazon.com/Zep-Commercial-1044898-Polish-Bottle/dp/B0057PFLMA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517093459&sr=8-1&keywords=zep+floor+wax

The fiberglass on my rig is oxidized and I am interested in cleaning/polishing it. Any experiences, ideas of how to do this? Products? Thanks, Iflyfishwithelbowgrease

Great stuff here! Thank you for your very thoughtful and useful posts. Iflyfish

Thanks, never thought about this. Iflyfish

I am considering solar this spring. I think 100 watts would work for me. What do you think about this unit? Is there a way to attach it without putting holes in the roof? https://www.amazon.com/HQST-Polycrystalline-Off-Grid-Controller-Mounting/dp/B01FRKA7O6/ref=sr_1_7_m?s=lawn-garden&rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1516825599&sr=1-7&keywords=rv+solar+panel+kit&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011%2Cp_72%3A2661618011 Thanks, Iflyfishelectronically

Verizon does have the best coverage, hands down. This is such a cheap option and I already have an AT%T Plan and they gave me the device for free ($99) and waived the activation fee ($45) as I have had an account for many years. Too good to pass up and wifi available by other means if needed. Cost to me is $20/month.

I have been exploring wifi on the road this last year. Man is this complex! I happened to run into this device AT&T ZTE Mobley https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=at%26t+zte+mobley+review There is an adaptor for 12 volt and 110 volt https://www.amazon.com/PeraltaProducts-Adapter-Mobley-Hotspot-Device/dp/B07173G1MK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1516238092&sr=8-4&keywords=AT%26T+ZTE+Mobley This one blew my mind, or what was left of it. It is a device designed to plug into your CAR engine computer read out port. It connects to AT%T cell tower and provides you with WiFI via the tower. However people have developed adaptors that allow you to plug it into a cigarette lighter or 110 outlet. AT%T are not advertising this much as I don't think that they understand that there is a HUGE RV market for a device like this. Here is the kicker.....$20/month! Yup, you read that right. The device is free with a 2 year plan and there is a $45 activation fee. The device is $99 via AT%T or between that and $150 on ebay. So, get to camp, plug in the device, turn on your computer, link it to the Mobley and surf to you hearts content. Use this with a computer and TV monitor with Blue Ray and you can watch anything you can get on your computer, Netflix etc. and you are good to go with no wires! I don't know if anyone here has done this. I just signed up and the device is on it's way to my home. I will fire it off after I return from Mexico and let you know how it works. In the mean time if anyone has this and has used it I would be happy to hear of you experience. Iflyfishontheweb
