Chinook RV

I took pictures of my insulating of the 'hook-up' compartment. Our internet in AZ is so slow, so I am still waiting for them to arrive in my email so I can upload them. Stay tuned for that. As for driving in snow. Our 1st trip in our Chinook was in a snowstorm that was coming up the eastern coast. I...

So here are a few things that I did to make winter travel more 'enjoyable' in a camper van: I bought a roll of the BIG bubble wrap at a UPS store, and cut it to fit the side windows -- and kept in place by pulling and keeping the shades down. Made a HUGE difference--as there was zero window draft on...

I am probably way too late to help out, as I am just reading this. BUT, figured I'd throw in advice that may or may not help. We just drove over 3000 miles, in a round-about route from Vermont to AZ. The past 2 years that we did this, I made reservations, and planned, and only had weather mess with ...

I am of NO HELP with giving you any information regarding your new addition. BUT, I am sure there are several members of this forum that will shed some light on your new-to-you camper ride. What I wanted to say, is it is SO COOL! Looks like it is in really pristine shape. Have fun with it, and you m...

Just reading through these threads long after they have been posted. I have seen renovated Chinooks on-line that are without the stripes and decals. I actually think they look more timeless with less stuff applied. In my opinion, the best look is when the bottom 1/4 of the body is painted grey or bl...

Hi Rick, We just blew our lines out this past weekend. Did it last year for the 1st time, being brand new to the world of RVs. There is a wonderful video on YouTube--by RVGeeks, where they go through a step by step process, but doing it on a far more involved A class bus. I actually typed up the pro...

I just realized you are the same talented person that did the rug install. You are really talented at finish work! Patience, ingenuity and skill are the best combination. Our back end compartment hinges at top which is a pain, but Norman (without looking at it), thinks we can flip it around. He appr...

Here are detail images of Lagun system...still cannot figure why some load sideways, as the originals are all upright! IMG_1724.JPG IMG_1720.JPG IMG_1723.JPG The last one is of the underpart that mounts to your table, which then pops into the receptacle. The height of table can be adjusted by the lo...

Hi BG, To answer your question about table wobble--as long as we have the handle cranked for the support leg of aluminum, it is pretty solid. We don't travel with it up, and do not experience any wobble when using it. When on the Lagun website, I did not see the flip out model like you mention, but ...

Looks like a really fun project to me...blank slates are always fun!
