Thumbs up NEW/USED 2010 Kodiak
Hi, My wife and I have been tent campers for years and have just got a 2010 24RBSL Kodiak. We bought a new 2016 Chevy 1500 double cab rated to tow 9400 lb. We stayed in it for 4 days at a RV resort were we a storing it. I did all the maintenance on the roof. First I cleaned the roof and then I put EtrnaBond tape on the front and back seams and around all roof vents and TV antenna. I had to replace the sewer and gray water vent caps as they were sun damaged and broke apart when touched. I only used Dicor self leveling lap sealer around the raido antenna sewer, gray water vents and at edge of new tape. The last owner did no roof maintenance. A week later we spent 2 days at a State Park. We had a blast! No more getting out of the tent to pee in the bushes in the middle of the night! WE now have our own BATHROOM!!! I will be posting and hope to contribute to the forum. Thank you all!!

Nice, sounds like you have the roof figured out. I despise tents.

Welcome.......yea tent trailer was nice compare to sleeping on the ground. Had a used one back in 1985. First mod I did was install a 10 gal. holding tank and a toilet. Take a hard sided RV any day over a tent trailer now. Sounds like you have a RV you can use for years.

Welcome to the forum. I have the exact same trailer except it is a Dutchmen 24FBSL. I think they are identical. Love it and having fun. Wait until you start the mods. I have done at least as much modding as camping.

Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups.
