Re: Remodel of my 1996

Ceiling supports are in. I need to wait a week in order for the glue to set, although the screws have provided a pretty solid bond to the cap. I've come up with a better option for the side panels, I'm going to screw my 3/4" ply supports to a 2" luan panel which will be glued to the side o...

Re: Remodel of my 1996

The stove panel vertical has been cut in half and the generator switch cut out of it in order to allow me the headroom I need to install the ceiling. I'm using this adhesive: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000AY6AC?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details which bonds wood to fiberglass, is used on ...

Re: Insulation discussion

Yep, ordered and received my first $150 worth of wool, and it would have been in by now if I hadn't gone mental on the inside of the van. Lots of folks use Rockwool, I preferred the natural wool because of the antimicrobial and water absorbing characteristics. Mold and water damage are my two big is...

Re: Remodel of my 1996

Your rig looks a lot like mine right now. :) The original ceiling floats in the rig, I'm not sure why AS made it that way, if anyone has any rationale for that design I would appreciate your input before I start screwing these panels into the supports. Because it's faster and easier and therefore c...

Re: Remodel of my 1996

Fixed the PS seat so that it will swivel again. The cable is attached to the chair with a threaded rod and the nut worked itself out to the end of the rod making it impossible to put enough tension on the cable to activate the slide mechanism.....that also had been tightened to tight I had to hit it...

Re: Remodel of my 1996

Back when I started, I was going to pull the sofa wall to repair the water damage and then go camping. Good times..... Welp, in order to replace the ceiling, one has to be able to get the old one out, which means my DS cabinets are now out of the rig. [attachment=0]IMG_0409.jpg Here's the view to t...

Re: Newbie Here in the Central Coast, Ca

Hello all, So excited to be a member. I found you guys when researching about B190. My wife and I are proud new owners of a B190 1993, Fully loaded. Everything works! Bought it for 13k. It has the 350 in it and seems to run pretty solid. This site is what pushed me to pull the trigger on purchasing...

Re: Newbies: Please read

Welcome Reid. Like you, I just bought mine a few months ago, unfortunately I decided to fix one thing and, well, now I'm tearing it all apart, hehe. Good luck with yours!.

Re: Fiberglass cap

Here's the mock up of what I intend to to do for the ceiling. '2x2 (nominally 1.5X1.5") treated with tung oil, sandwiched between two pieces of 1/4" luan.The luan provides a better bite for screws. Overlay that with alternating layers of luan strips. The bottom layer in the pic ended up be...

Re: Fiberglass cap

Just had a thought. Any reason cutting the luan in strips and fixing it to the ceiling that way wouldn't work? It would be much easier to work around the roof openings that way, I'd get a much tighter fit to all of them. I'll be putting headliner over everything anyway, so it's not like it will show...

Re: Fiberglass cap

Ah. No, I want to screw the luan to those ribs. Or add some nailers to them and screw the luan to that. Yep, either one of those would work! I need to drop the ceiling about an inch to get some insulation in there that will actually work. That gives me 73" of headroom, not much for me but plen...

Re: Light over sink

Do you need the fixture or the bulb?

Any 12v fixture (for RVs) should work, depending on the size you want.

Re: Fiberglass cap

Well glue is probably better given the vibrations it will encounter. Just for clarity, the only wood is the strips visible in the picture - otherwise it's just the fiberglass top. Sent from my Lenovo YT-K606F using Tapatalk Ok, so now I'm confused. https://b190.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=3316 Fir...
