Raising Rear of Front Shell

[Bill]

Daniel -

When you reference another thread, it is really helpful if you provide a link to that other thread. Since we have more than 14,000 threads, it can be annoying to find the one you are referencing without a pointer.

It is easy. When the "other" thread is open, go to the address bar at the top of the page, highlight the web address (https://www.trailmanor...) and Copy it. In Windows, the command for Copy is CTRL-C. Then go to the thread where you are posting, put the cursor at the desired place in your text, and Paste the web address. Again if you are using Windows, CTRL-V will paste. That's it. The Forum software will take care of the rest.

Thanks. And by the way, it is better not to open separate threads for the same topic. Just make your new post in the existing thread, and avoid asking the same question in multiple posts.

Thanks Bill
My first forum
I’ll get it right eventually

That's OK, Daniel. As you use the Forum, the use of the "threads" and "posts" organization will begin to make intuitive sense.

I belong to a couple email "groups" on GROUPS.IO. Posts come in by email, and they are delivered to me in the order that they are sent. I find it incredibly hard to follow a discussion that is more than a day old - and I find it impossible to find something that was posted, say, a week ago or a month ago. By contrast, here on the Forum, all of the posts on any topic, going right back to the beginning of the Forum 20 years ago, are right there where I can read them, arranged in time order.

I don't do Facebook, because as near as I can tell, it uses the same scattershot approach as the "groups.io", although it delivers the posts online rather than email. Some folks do really well with Facebook - our member Shane123 is actually a moderator over there - but somehow I just haven't untangled it.

So bear with us - it will make sense.

Did the new wood bow solve the sag at the rear end of front roof section once the ac unit was reinstalled. I have about the same amount of sag, so I’d be very happy to only have to replace top bow and seal. There have we quite a few posts on this issue and yet I’ve not seen a definitive fix.

Hey Bill,

I had some left over cabinet epoxy that has been wearing like iron in our kitchen. After cutting and fitting the bow on the roof edge and the sides, I gave them 2 coats of the epoxy, then they cured for a few days before setting them in with stainless screws on the ends and plenty of gorilla waterproof glue.

I plan to glue (contact cement) and staple the bag seal in, then bend and glue the outer skin around the edge. Followed by sealant on the seam between the skin and bag seal, then installing the repainted trim with painted stainless screws, finishing with sealant on the edge of the trim.

3 week before out first try out, so very much to do.

Les, how much arch did you recreate when you cut the poplar? I assume you did not bend a straight piece of poplar to fit between the two curved aluminum sheets that make up the roof. I need to replace rotted wood before I replace the front roof rear bag seals on my 2009 2720SL. Thanjs
