Hi, I have a 2002 Winnebago Sightseer on a p32 chassis with a leaking hydroboost. Do you know if the part you used will fit on the p32 chassis? It looks like a similar setup. If you could repost the pictures that would be a big help! Thanks so much for sharing this project!

My apologies for the message about hackers might be trying to access the website. That's very misleading.  No hackers are getting in!  I just dropped the ball and forgot to renew our SSL certificate. 

It's all good now.

I bought some sand paper on Ebay..To fit the palm sander..up to 2000 grit..

Came out pretty good..Maybe the purchase(Dump more money) of a bench top buffer..white and red compound would finish it..

The site was reconfigured, and some pictures were lost. What remains is a library of irreplaceable information, which is priceless and very valuable.

Introduce Yourself / And I’m back, too

Been a while, and my reasons are similar to Rick1985's.
Existing '97 Winnebago RU25 needs a new owner. And I found a new project.
A 1998 Tiffin Allegro 28. Has 44,000 on it and hadn't been used for a few years.
So - more nonsense and mis- directed repairs to come.
As I mentioned it's been a while and I can't see any pics on the site. Also some of my old posts seem to be corrupted. Just askin

Are you sure your not hyper critical? But a flat wide strip is going to show potential fly chit from 10'. Getting a piano finish is probably not going to happen,and incredibly difficult to achieve. It almost takes a surgically clean prep and finish process.

I didn't have the success as the guy in the video..maybe because what I was testing it on is way different than a set of rims..

Flat rolled aluminum has so many imperfections in it from the rollers squeezing the aluminum to the thickness it is..

Here is some pictures..

Pic1 shows the powder in the container..Looks like cement that you use to combine with rock and sand to create concrete..

Pic 2..Up close..Every imperfection including every dust nib from a 12 mile radius will show in the finish..Every spot in the aluminum shines like a great big zit on your nose..It just reminds me of the chrome that is on plastic parts like a knob on the cloths dryer..

Some sort of chrome is applied to that plastic..It just looks cheap..

When the sand paper gets here, I will see what ordinary elbow grease polishing takes to make work..

Not happy with this "Chrome"..Sorry
