[VAC] Re: Renovation Video Tapes



I think your best source is right here in this group.  Of course you kind of get
it in bits but it is free.  I don't know if I could handle a 90 minute video from
any of these folks so bits and bites is pretty good.  : - )

If anyone is interested in floor repair/replacement I consider myself an expert.
In know there are others out there that have done the dirty deed of floor
replacement.  Joy just recently submitted a drawing showing how everyting is put
together.  I wish I had that when I did my first.

I find the fun of restoration the trial and error.  That might explain why a
number of us, atleast myself, own more than one.  The things I learned on my first
one can now be applied to my second.  And my second to my third.

If I was to purchase any of the restore tapes it would exceed the purchase price
of my trailers.  Although I might be interested in the leak video.  Although I do
have to say the Safari is pretty tight.  We went camping at Cape San Blas, FL last
Thanksgiving.  Friday night a huge storm blew in off the Gulf.  It started raining
at 5:00 pm and did not stop until 5:00 the next morning.  It must have dropped 5-6
inches of rain, nonstop.  We felt like we were sitting in an aluminum can.  Ear
plugs would have been nice.  However the Safari only showed 2 very minor leaks.
Seemed like they were coming from around the window.

I would like to thank everyone that participates in this forum.  There is no
better advice than the advice of experience.  It's even better advice when it's
FREE!

Thanks to all.
