Hardboard

Postby tinkerman » Sun Feb 07, 2010 1:48 am

I don't know if your hardboard is the same thing we call hardboard here, but if it is, it works good till it gets wet. If it does get moisture it tends to fall apart. Make sure your roof is good and sealed. This is what we had in our pop up and the hatch leaked....mold and no ceiling soon insued.
Vardo's have now become my latest obsession. What's next teardops?

Cabinets look great, nice carpet on the interior. I like the long tongue on the trailer.
