There many people that are full time RVing in
other words they live in their RV all the time .Some in very high dollar
Motor Homes and some in their popup trailer what every the case maybe, some
because that choose that life style some might not have the choice to do
so. In either case one thing that is very important is clean and healthy
living a good number of RV’s old and new have some form of non healthy
material in them, it could be in the wall board’s, flooring, carpet,
cabinet material insulation when you are living in such a confine area you
need it to be as toxic free as possible .
There are a lot of products on the market today that can be apply over different types of material to reduce the toxic outgases that come off some of the things I listed above. I can not write about a lot of them because I have not try them yet one of them I have use is the SafeCoat HardSeal and the Safecoat Acrylacq which is a clear, hard and durable high gloss, water-based replacement for high solvent content lacquer. I know you can clean up your brushes with soap and water that what's I use anyway. You can go on line to see if these products would be suitable for your needs. Check here for information about safecoat |

In the search of an rv regardless if your looking for a turn key rv or for one you want to spend time and money restoring your self keep in mind its better to spend time going over the rv with a inspection list before you buy then finding all the hiding problem, a good ideal would be make you an inspection list to carry with you when you go shopping. Here is a short story of what I am talking about this couple bought a class c motor home and got it home no problem , brought it to the shop to fix a small place in rear outside corner where it had been hit lightly no big deal. While repairing the corner I got to look down the side and notice it was wavy looking which it had the fiberglass "FRP" panel siding and some of them can look wavy when in good shape . Never the less we started pushing around the side to realize the wall which is laminated meaning compose of layers bonded together the adhesive had started braking down and therefore allow the sides to get lose and wavy, turn into a major job this is just one example. The point is take your time find a trailer that will be a good family project and not a nightmare, check search of inspection list.

Airstream
Repair and Restoration RV Repair Project's of different type's Wooden Boat Project's If you are looking at buying an Airstream if it's going to be an older one be sure to keep in mind that even though the aluminum panels look good remember that they have a steel frame. One way of checking out the frame in the rear of the trailer is to look at where the aluminum body is seating down on the frame right at the bumper it should be a tight fit if you can see a crack between them check it out. You can stand on the bumper and bouncy up and down if the crack gets bigger as you move you better look a little farther into the problem. Like I say that can get very costly to repair and replace. This type of work is very time consuming, and if you get a trailer with bad frame you have just inherited a major headache. It can be corrected but once again time consuming. Example Frame also keep in mind about mold and mildew problems I have repair floors that have had water damage on them dew to leaking windows just to find a mold problem on the under side of the plywood flooring. Once again you can get into your billfold if your not careful. Something also to look at.

Safecoat Caulking
Compound Safecoat caulking is a non-toxic, water base elastic type caulking and putty for windows, cracks and general maintenance work. Some information I have found says it will not dry out or crack and does not release any solvents or obnoxious odors. Safecoat caulk provides a water resistant, flexible, easy to install. I have use this product and like it, the texture of it is different than some other caulk I have use but seems to work fine. According to the product description it does not off-gas and is safe to use in poorly ventilated area. It is safely used by and for the chemically sensitive, the caulk is 100% solids so there is no “shrinkage it is non flammable and non sag”. I use a lot of caulks in different applications this will be a number # 1 user for me, seeing I use it in confined area such as RVs.

Beware
of floor area Floors are another area that you need to inspect very well in most case's where you have floor decade (rot) you have frame damage and like I stated in early topic of frame damage it could turn into a nightmare but if you will take your time to go over thing's you can spot sign's. The open area living room, hallway, bathroom, any where you can see are walk on you can tell if the floor is soft or not, places like under the cabinet's, bathroom sink, closet, and any other place you can't normally you can get down under these and take abject like a ice pick or slender screw driver and push down in the area to see if they are soft are not .If you can push object threw floor you have a problem so be sure to check out floor very careful.
