I would not do so until I had weighed the rig to find out how close, or how much over, I was to the Carry Weight.<br /><br />I have reduced my storage capacity and still carry too much 'stuff' around that I don't use.Edhttp://edwardfrey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-1738750171778264662012-09-07T15:52:33.877-06:002012-09-07T15:52:33.877-06:00Jim and Gayle,

I don't want to put it on right away, and the rig seems tight enough for now. I rather be remodeling... that's more fun than sealing a white roof in the sun (gag).<br />Thanks for all your help and links!!! <br /><br />Lynne,<br />Thanks for your links, too. A footstool with storage is a great idea... we have two of them in our house living room. thank you mucho<br /><br />Gaelyn,<br />I was wondering that too, why not just keep slopping more sealant on the roof to be sure and safe... nobody see's it anyway. Yes, I need a table/workspace area that can serve a place to do some studio recording. To Simplify dot net build a workstation with a long slide out drawer underneath that allow him to pull his keyboard out to play and then tuck it away when not. Love that. Thanks<br /><br />Neil,<br />That is great to know. It might be over kill but i bought the six inch wide roll. Hope that's not a mistake. thanks for your help.<br /><br />Pam and Wayne,<br />Wow! You guys bit the shopping bullet! I guess you could keep them for life, move them from RV to home, and eventually get your money's worth. I know they are very comfortable so I envy you. It's just hard to pay almost as much as we paid for the rig for chairs! :)) Sounds like you guys are tweaking your RV to fit your needs... send links with photos if you have any. thanks!<br /><br />Teri,<br />You don't get 23 years out of RV chairs or furniture. Good choice... Lazy Boy will get a visit from us, on our way to Ikea. :)) Gracious.<br /><br />McBe,<br />Right on. I must tour Andy's sight for photos and info. thanks<br /><br />Brian,<br />Just patch the cracks? I was thinking of just adding a new layer of sealant over the entire existing layer. I like simple... as long as it doesn't come back and bite me. <br />And if you want a place where you can have your tools, you must be thinking of buying a little plot of land... Hmmm. If you need a land partner let us know. A couple acres each in the right spot solves our storage problems. Yikes... We've got two campers.<br />Thanks, <br />Mark Box Canyon Blog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032055509766739436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-65906894797742978592012-09-07T00:07:12.659-06:002012-09-07T00:07:12.659-06:00I've just used a good quality RV rubber roof s...I've just used a good quality RV rubber roof sealer in a caulking gun to annually walk around the roof and "caulk" up any cracks I found... checking for "loose" stuff to.<br /><br />I just run a bead into any Cracks such as what you're showing... haven't had any leaks yet. I think if the base caulk looks good, and the rest of the roof looks good... I'd just reseal the Cracks and call it good.<br /><br />As for "smaller"... I've wanted to get "Smaller" for a time... maybe not as small as a Chalet... but smaller than now! at least to what the Lazy Daze does for you... Maybe a bit littler... never know till I do it though! ;) I think I want to make it more of a seasonal thing... with a "place" with my tools where I can do heavy maintenance/repairs etc... yet still make some winter circles... Time will tell...

I had 2 slim profile Lazy Boy rocker recliners in my house in IL for 23 years, they were still in excellent condition, I gave them away to one of my sisters. I would like to have one in the RV but I haven't gotten around to tearing out the dinette, yet.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019364333876469130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-81425178775078368632012-09-06T21:17:33.191-06:002012-09-06T21:17:33.191-06:00You might try Ikea for "Euro" style chai...You might try Ikea for "Euro" style chairs without the $$price$$.

Suckers! SO comfy though, and they are "real" furniture and not made for rvs. I find even the "good" rv furniture just isn't made to last, especially the seat area. We also stripped out the wallpaper, took down the "curtains", pulled up some of the carpet and ripped out the electric fireplace that didn't put out any worthwhile heat. We need to put the new doors on the fireplace opening yet and figure out how to incorporate some color. Can't wait to see what you do to make yours "home", maybe it'll give me some ideas!Pam https://www.blogger.com/profile/05979446142128610261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-31489854380758915472012-09-06T17:34:50.759-06:002012-09-06T17:34:50.759-06:00Mark,

Gave the entire roof a very good scrubbing and when dried cleaned the area the tape was going with lacquer thinner per the included instruction. Used a hard rubber roller to press the tape. Instructions are included with the tape. Turned out very well and should last a long time.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03409420622155255084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-72690039805194246302012-09-06T16:23:01.430-06:002012-09-06T16:23:01.430-06:00Nice amount of open space.

Have gotten close to ripping out the dinette, but the furnace is under 1 of the benches so would need to rip that out too (so, a much bigger decision point).<br /><br />Two of my favorite things for my RV are Table-Mate folding tables, and an ultraleather folding ottoman. Love being able to prop my feet up while using the table and not having the table legs criss-cross beneath. The ottoman storage is also great for shoes, etc too.

Leave the new comfy chairs (with wheels underneath) near the a joining door wall so that you can enjoy the viewing lounge or slide up to the desk when work is needed. If the desk items were neatly stored below the desk top could become a bar for happy hour! Cheers!! klbexploreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294131539793643894noreply@blogger.com
