Great job! I enjoy seeing your process and your explanations are clear and easy to understand. The curtains are a nice touch. I’d love to see a tour video!

Wow! What a great RU-vid video! At 12:01 I see the three blocks that support the three hinges. I had to grind down the edges (6 total) to solve the problem of water leaking into the trunk--a factory defect in the design. At 19:30 I routed the fan wiring around the fan to the lower left. From there (before the fan was in with the hole open) I ran the wiring diagonally through the ceiling to a point beyond where the lower roof panel terminates when the panels are down. Then out thru wire loom to a power source. This easily hid the wiring to the fantastic fan.

This made my day thank you! Going to check out that front trunk modification asap-I think I still get water in there too

Glad to see you’re still at it man. Love the videos after a hard days work.

You are too kind thank you

Is there no 'framing' on the roof panels? Just 1/8" thin plywood? Doesnt seem like it would support any weight, and would warp easliy

thanks, I was going to buy a new aliner but now you have me thinking !***

No problem, good luck!

You likely need a bungee cord over the top of each roof vent lest the towing wind rip the vent lid off - this likely means adding a "U" fitting and customizing a bungee cord for each vent.

@soilliam 5 месяцев назад

I’ve had no problem with the vents (yet) but good looking out

@anthonyhitchings1051 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video. We have a 2003 Scout with low wall stye, and some of our interior roof lining is delaminating.

This is truly a major restoration for anyone in general. But inspired me regardless to think hard about replacing the 3 way fridge of my 2004 Aliner Chalet that I just bought 2 months ago. I know nothing about those stuffs. But I know that I can simply buy new 1.7 cubic ft fridge and replace it instead of struggling to fix the original one that is not working now! I don't have any problem with electricity with my camper, it works well by Shore power or its own battery (Deep cycle). The stoves work as it should and also the plumbing (but I simply don't use it). The heater is not working but I couldn't careless anyway. My Aliner Chalet empty weighed at 1,540 lb at CAT weighing station. I towed my camper for 900 miles trip (Zion, Utah) with my 2013 Toyota Highlander 4 cylinder with no problem, and I'll tow it again to Yosemite by the end of this month to see how it will do with those mountainous terrain. Thank so much for your inspiration.

You honor me. Best of luck with your fridge upgrade and your adventure into the mountains!

those weak plastic window frames are called "garnishes"

@lauracampbell6341 3 месяца назад

Hi there, just bought a 1999 and preparing to gut and rebuild, wondering how your roof/window repairs held up? Are you happy with the 4 inch tape (others swear against it), I’d appreciate your update!

@soilliam 3 месяца назад

So far, so good, but not perfect. The windows are holding up great, but the roof edges and seams seem to always need a little maintenance. I suspect it's due to the flexion of the camper roof panels while driving. Anyways, those repairs held up well imo. Winter condensation was the only significant water damage issue i have experienced since repairing the roof and windows. Good luck with your rebuild! let me know if I can help with other questions
