I took a hole saw that just fit over the round part ,cut off the teeth of the hole saw, it already had a slot in the hole saw where the stub thing rides , and use a cordless drill , my camper is light enough it goes quickly
Do keep it tarped in the winter.
I know this is a bit of an older thread, but I thought I would chime in here. Most of the info has been covered well, but this one really gets me.
Listen to me carefully!
DO NOT EVER store an RV with a tarp on it. Either leave it uncovered and make sure everything is sealed or get a proper RV cover for it. The problem with a tarp is that they don't breathe. They will collect condensation underneath them and it will just sit there and mildew. An RV cover will breathe and allow the moisture to evaporate. They are not designed to battle leaks. Your RV should be properly sealed and not leaking anyway. They are designed to protect from things like debris, sap, bird crap and intense sun, which can dry out seals, and discolor siding and decals.
I don't understand why people want to cover them up in the winter. RVs are meant to be outside. They are built to handle the rain, and as long as they are properly maintained, they will be just fine.
This has actually been on my mind lately. It seems to me that a tarp would rub and pull on things in the wind. I don't want to use a tarp if it's going to do damage but if it's a good idea then maybe..........

I keep a tarp on mine in the winter because its 34 years old. Half of the wood is dry rotted and keeping it sealed is not an option. What I do is put a milk crate upside down over top of the two vents. I run a 2x12 on top of the boxes zip tied in place. That allows an air gap under the tarp and gives it some pitch so the water runs off. I use one of them thicker silver tarps. It seems to hold up better in the sun. :corn:
Just build a shop to put the camper inside, it has worked for me....:fawkdancesmiley:
Were not all rich state workers :booo:
