Went well.

Got to quieten the enterior in the back and windows a bit more.
Longer term might look at slightly higher rate leafs in rear and raise her 1-2".

NICE!

BTW, are those Super Slide springs you're using? Someone on the forum was asking how everyone liked them.

I asked about a similar issue here but didn't get much back: https://www.trifive.com/threads/pane.../#post-2458660

For me most of my noise is coming in the doors/windows. Rattles and air. So need to get the new windows and tracking in place as well as seals and a few pieces of insulation inside the door skin to give it a bit of weight for vibrations to dull out.

What did everyone do to treat the rust on side of door skin.

Im thinking of using a long adapter and wire wheel ..... hit the rest with red scrub pad .... then wipe it down with corrseal or spray with rust convertor ?

Better way without cutting an access in bottom of doorskin (might eventually have to do that? )

Re: 57 Panel "FAKMLC" build

my plan was a scotch bright by hand, blow it out, and spray with with RustPrep to seal.
