2002 Roadtrek 190 Versatile - 5/23/22 - Rear Window Unglued

Went out after work today and worked on the rear passenger window. I was on a mission and finally got the window removed. I could not believe the amount of urethane sealer that was applied all around the weatherstripping - which is now in rough shape due to all of the slicing with the razor knife. A...

2002 Roadtrek 190 Versatile - 5/22/22 - The Garage Area

Got up early today and went back to work on the passenger side rear window. Made a bit more progress, about half way through it I think. I am fairly certain that the top hinge is intact. I then went to the back of the bus and cleaned up the "garage' area. I took the spare tire out and cleaned t...

2002 Roadtrek 190 Versatile - 5/21/22 - Clean and Restore Fiberglas Top

Got up early today in order to use the Meguiar's M6732 Marine/RV One Step Compound to begin the process of cleaning and restoring the fiberglass roof. The roof is is very good shape as there is no cracking or chipped areas or sunfade. It is just chalky and needs to be rubbed out and waxed. Process-w...

2002 Roadtrek 190 Versatile - 5/20/22 - Begin Ungluing Rear Window

Spent some time working on the passenger rear CR Laurence window that is glued shut. I used a razor knife - an old Stanley with the retractable blade :D - and began the process of trying to "unglue" the window. This is kind of worrisome because I cannot really tell if the top hinge is stil...

2002 Roadtrek 190 Versatile - 5/19/22 - More Touch Up and Cleaning

Went to Advance Auto today and picked up a can of Duplicolor Perfect Match Touch Up Spray Paint: Olympic White paint. This will be used for touch up purposes, as the large peeled areas are currently covered with white vinyl wrap. Also picked up a bottle of Meguiar's M6732 Marine/RV One Step Compound...

2002 Roadtrek 190 Versatile - 5/18/22 - Door Touch Up

My 2 cans of touch up paint for the copper/bronze areas of the van arrived today. Knowing full well that this paint is not near a perfect match, I sprayed into the cap and used a brush to touch up the doors where they are dinged up due to the removal of the ground effects items. Here is the passenge...

2002 Roadtrek 190 Versatile - 5/17/22 - Oil Change and Undercarriage Thoughts

Oil and Filter change today. Mobil 1 Synthetic 5W-30 and Mobil 1 Filter. Pretty simple ordeal, only concern was the drain plug which had a bit of “strippage” in some of the threads. Also there was some red gasket sealer present. However, no leakage after a test drive. Hopefully things are OK. The un...

2002 Roadtrek 190 Versatile - 5/16/2022 - Cheap Seat Covers

Purchased a set of seat covers from Walmart as the current seats are in good condition and I felt they should have some protection since they are unobtainium. They are Dickies Leatherette Prestige Gray and cost about $35.00. Of course the fit is not perfect, but they will suit the intended purpose a...

2002 Roadtrek 190 Versatile - 5/15/22 - Re-attach Weatherstrip

I attached the weatherstrip to the doors today. Actually I found out that there was no weatherstrip on a Roadtrek on the doors if ordered without the ground effects package, however that makes no difference in my case. I put 1/2 inch 3M tape over each of the holes on the door – a 3 inch length for e...

2002 Roadtrek 190 Versatile - 5/14/22 - Battery Cable Repair

The battery cable was repaired today. Actually it was enhanced, in that I added 19 inches to the existing cable so it would reach normally. I connected the two eye connectors and taped them together using silicone self adhesive tape . I never heard of the stuff before and bought it on a whim because...
