Do you enjoy lots of different hobbies like me? I am just a country boy with a workshop in my basement and I like to build cool stuff! Rather it be a teardrop trailer, CNC or reclaiming some old wood and giving it new life, that is what the Southern Ginger Workshop channel is all about!
I created this channel because I wanted a way to express my creative outlet. RU-vid has become a great place to get reviews, watch DIY projects and enjoy some inspirational how-to's. If you enjoy what you see, go ahead and subscribe, that only will help me grow and put out more content!

Nice job. From the rust on the screw heads on the trim along the bottom/floor, I’d bet…. As water sheets down the side, any tiny defect in that trim sealant that gets water in there will be trapped and progressively soak through anything wood. For a 3/4 floor bigger than 8’ I wonder if the thing to do would be laminate 3/8 together with staggered seams, but it looks like your method worked great.
I have a 2000 fleetwood bounder. My leveling system is a power gear 500456. How do you know what the part numbers are for the jacks ? Have one that leaksbut there isn't a part number anywhere on the jack.
Ive been having the same problem. Replaced all the main components with no change or help to the original problem. I'm going to try your fix of disconnecting & blowing air through the lines. Fingers crossed!!!
I just bought a 99 Fleetwood Bounder 34V. I've enjoyed watching your videos regarding your rig too. I have taken on a couple of DIY projects thanks to your channel. I did have a question regarding what are you using at the 08:27 mark in the black bucket? Thanks again for all the content.
This is 100% not the way to do this. I can guarantee and bet my life that these have come down by now because between the oak trees in the backyard, the squirrels, and rain/snow.... that deck is smelling like decay right about now. The pockets created by running the mounting boards perpendicular to the floor joists creates stops for all the debris that gets between the deck boards to basically be trapped forever. In the wintertime, it will freeze, soak, and fracture the pressure treated lumber used to build the deck.
Finally, finally a guy with brains I got to see how you take off the cover for the EO and the thermostat and I watched you remove the two sensors and clean them nowhere else could I find that and I looked for hours thank you thank you thank you ha ha God bless America. !
You raised the shed door hinges. Wondering if it affected the bottom latch This shed is exactly what I think I need. I will jump on this project tomorrow.
They advertise in their video that you can use these sensors on the top front corners to prevent overhang collision. Have you tried this? Curious if it gives false readings if your vehicle is 12 ft, and an overhang is 13 feet.
@@SouthernGinger I did, saw a lot of resealing of the vents. I must've missed where you did the patch! I have a 97 bounder, and want to patch over the rear fans completely.
Hey dude, did you have any soft spots in the wood before you started the new roof work? How did you determine if it was worth replacing a section or not? My used 1997 Bounder has some soft wood sections, but a new roll-on roof from the last owner. They didnt replace the soft spots. I'm wondering if I should dig into it or let it be.
Helpful, but all that I need to know. I am a 74-year-old, 150 lb woman who lives in a 36ft 5th Wheel that has water damage in the floor of all three of the slide-outs. I am fixing the water leaks, but my rotted floor includes the wood beams or whatever they are that hold up the floor. Everything is rotted down to the outside aluminum on the floor. How do I fix that?
Hi there, just wondering how the electrical stuffi s working in winter with possible snow/ice/water over the deck? Is it holding up well without any leaks around the electrical connections? thanks
After changing out every component on my water heater with no fix to my issue. I tried blowing out my gas line as you did. I put everything back together and Light the pilot, turned on the valve and the water heater fired up and ran perfectly. I still don't get why this worked, but it did. Who'd of thought.
I am at that frustration now. Changed out everything except the gas part and I haven’t cleaned out the lines. I’m thinking that’s it. Thanks for the info.
looks great! How did you seal the parts that had to be cut around the diagnol bracing? I am running into this issue now because my deck has a 1-2 foot cantilever so some of the bracing is in the middle of the panels. I'm not sure how to seal it without also causing blockage from the water flowing past it?
Like on the sides? You could add something there on the sides if you want but on the end you wanna make sure the water gets out, through a mesh or something
I just bought a camper for pernamant living 3 weeks ago and found out my sons room slide out is rotted. Its a flush slide out and ive watched so many videos but I feel like I cant do this job myself but I have to. I cant afford to hire someone and its just my 4yr old son and I. This video was helpful but still looks like the mechanics of the slide are different as yours stays sitting on top. Mine comes up from flush and in. Its a small slide, maybe 5ft but feel like I'm going to screw something up!
Do you mean the arms are coming from below? If so my RV is like that too. That may mean you need to pull the rotted wood from the top and not below like we did
Whatever you screw up I'm sure can be unscrewed! Take your time. Watch the videos. Have all the tools. Get help if you need it. A helper is always good. Think it through. You can do this! Can't never could! The confidence, satisfaction and knowledge you will gain will be a blessing. And you will save some bucks! Go for it!
Does this model use an anode rod? It seems like one could go in the drain plug hole , its about 10" deep, but nothing in there when I got it. 2011 coachmen class c
SHOW US HOW YOU WATERPROOFED THE JOIST ?? The best way to prevent rot is to ensure the wood never gets wet. This can most easily be done before the decking boards go down during construction. First, shield the tops of the joists and beams with waterproof flashing tape. There are commercial butyl tapes designed to be the right width for this purpose. With self-adhesive tape, the application is relatively easy. Additionally, by applying joist flashing tape before screwing in hardware, you can create a barrier between the fasteners and preservatives in the wood that lessens corrosion. Thus, flashing tape protects in two ways, reducing corrosion and waterproofing the top of the wood beams and joists.
Fantastic, I have a 98 bounder and mine needs looking at as well. Now I have to ask. Did you say that there is a solenoid in the box that controls power going to the genny to start it? I am having a hard time getting full power to mine to start it. Subbed
That battery is what cranks the generator, and the solenoid is what clicks over to charge the house batteries when plugged in. I've never had an issue after this fix to charge my batteries
