Aluminum Camper Forum

Any luck on finding a good option?

I should have mentioned I currently use 2 6volt deep cycle but may upgrade to lithium in a few years.

It appears my PD 4000 series converter on my 2014 16DBS has died an untimely death. Any suggestions for a replacement/upgrade that would be any easy swap?

Safe travels. Be prepared for some smoke. You can keep up to date on fire info at https://inciweb.nwcg.gov.

Just an FYI for anyone using an older model Andersen WD hitch. There is an upgrade kit available that includes the newer model plate and the WD anti-sway assembly. See https://andersenhitches.com/collections/weight-distribution-hitch-parts-accessories for parts. The upgrade kit is not noted on their website but I stopped in last week on my way back from a camping trip and learned it was available for $100. They also offer a 20% military/veteran discount. Not sure if a local dealer has the same offer or what shipping charges would be.

Thanks for your newsletter contribution and your time and efforts on the article.

Thanks to all who have made it happen. It has been a valuable resource for me and I appreciate the efforts!

Has anybody found and/or used a good paint match for touching up the black diamond plate?

Thanks Paul. The platform itself is 1 3/4" Since it is a thin aluminum sheet on the bottom and the azdel panel on top my guess is it has foam insulation sandwiched in between. I am wondering what the (assumed) aluminum frame structure is size wise and spacing. I have two long screws (one on each end) that protrude below the bottom by 1 1/4". A poor repair job by the previous owner to deal with the original screws that were obviously pulled out. Maybe it was a poor install to begin with. I need to fix those and I am trying to decide on how best to install a table mount that will require me to drill through the platform. I obviously would like to hit something substantial rather than a block of foam. I was looking at the mod pictures GrandpaKilt posted and noticed the computer monitor table mounts seem to be mounted to the edge. Just trying to avoid drilling a hole I regret.

Thanks for sharing. Awesome job. Wish you were my neighbor 

I have a 2014 16DBS. Does anyone know what/how the base platform that the sofa sits on is constructed? I know there is a thin aluminum sheet on the bottom, a piece of edge trim around it and a decorative sheet on top. Anyone know what is sandwiched in between? Since the sofa base is screwed down through the top surface I am wondering what these screws are actually biting into for holding power as it does not seem to be the aluminum tubing. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thought the deal went through this past fall and THOR has them listed as one of their companies on their website. Did not realize the deal did not close. Perhaps THOR should update their website. Regardless I empathize with all the workers, families, and other businesses affected by the closure.

Thanks for posting and including the good pictures. How much did the replacement door cost?
