Re: Non-member Classified Listings for 2021 Reply #225 – May 31, 2021, 06:25:39 pm Quote from: RonB - May 31, 2021, 06:12:28 pmHi Romeo; "What are the "Boils" in the aluminum above" under and around the cabover passenger side window... That is caused by water penetration behind the aluminum. Called 'electrolysis' an electric current through the water dissolves the aluminum. Aluminum chloride mostly. By the time the corrosion comes out under the paint, a larger amount of aluminum is 'crumbly' . Time consuming to fix; the water leak has to be fixed first from the inside, then restoration of the aluminum, think Bondo, then paint. If you are retired with a lot of time, and a skill set for 'inside the wall' repairs of rot, it would make a good 'project' motorhome. If you have to pay someone else to fix it, then 'prohibitively expensive' would apply. RonBYeah, Not something I would take on. Interesting to know how that damage to aluminum happens. Common thought would be that aluminum never corrodes like on a car. Obviously not. Good infromation.

Interesting to know how that damage to aluminum happens. Common thought would be that aluminum never corrodes like on a car. Obviously not. Good infromation.Corrosion can be caused by several things. Poor surface preparation before painting is one.Another cause seen is is corrsion cause by the interaction of a steel fastener (nail, screw or staple and the outer aluminum sheet metal, cause by either direct contact or being located in an area that has been wet…good, old fashion corrosion.The dissimilar metals, with a little moisture, become batteries and start consumming the aluminum.Our 1983 LD had a couple of bubbles in the aluminum, when the corrosion was removed, steel staples were found directly under both spots. This should be considered a design or manufacturing defect. The two dissimilar metals should have never had a chance of touching.Larry 1 Likes

Re: Non-member Classified Listings for 2021 Reply #230 – June 02, 2021, 10:04:46 am It’s mighty nice that some of our LD Neighbors post information about LDs that are for sale from all manner of sources. In addition, the keen observations about various pros and cons has to be useful to less experienced Searchers. It’s certainly a kind service that must be helpful to those in the Search Mode.

Re: Non-member Classified Listings for 2021 Reply #231 – June 02, 2021, 10:10:33 am The rig shows as "clean", but the seller might want to correct the GVWR, listed as 14500 pounds, to the correct GVWR of 14050 pounds.

The original refrigerator and freezer still works well. We’ve added a TV that uses a rotating antenna and has a DVD player. It needs some love cosmetically in the cockpit. It also needs help with its electrical system that operates the running lights and dashboard. Original handbook and all receipts for renovations are available. Runs well, but burns oil. The carburetor also needs adjustment. We’ve only camped in it one time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Back and forth to Minnesota twice. Cover included. Perfect as a fixer-upper!
