mel , mobiltec and others, hoping you can help. I'm getting ready to place my first panel on the front of my trailer. My existing template was pretty useless in figuring out anything original as the PO had done lots of fixes and several pieces of my framing were either missing, deteriorated or modified. I'm pretty sure I got the sizing correct, but as far as securing the panel to the front of the trailer, I just don't know how high up to go. Where I'm struggling is... is the bottom of the front window the same height as the side dinette windows? I have my piece all ready to go on, but I just can't pull the trigger because I'm so unsure and without unrolling my roof skin, which I really don't want to have to do, I'm afraid I'll place it wrong, and then it will be a domino effect of nothing being in the right place. Help?? |

It looks about the same height, but the windows are so different its hard to tell if they are at the exact same height. Honestly as much of a pain as I know it is, I would roll out the roof. You will regret it of you are a tiny bit off and the skin doesnt fit.

Yes, very close.
But keep in mind this is a Shasta. They put them together in a hurry. I think Mel is right, if you're reusing the skin then rolling the roof out may be the best way to go.

The only for sure thing to do is use the roof. That is that i had to do front and back.
