Yeah, I looked at those, but that flange is not really compatible. Wonder if the flange can be removed and keep the garden hose threads?

Looking closer at the one I have, I see I can take the GHT...

I don't think so, that doesn't look like I could connect a standard fresh water hose to it?

Fresh water check valve?

Every time I hook up city water, the connection leaks like crazy, I think over time I've messed up the hose threads on the check valve.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find anything similar in a...

Thanks all. I'll have to check around. Looks like they are ~$100 each at amazon.

Chaining them up will probably stop most casual thieves, I would think. Moving to 20lb tanks isn't really a bad...

They stole my propane tanks

I guess I learned this lesson the hard way, left my FULL propane tanks on the RV while it was sitting in storage. Went to check on it today and they are gone. Poof.

Anyway... I'm trying to find...

You just cost me $40.

How did no one ever show these to me before? How does the local home depot not sell these?

If they work as advertised, they are straight from heaven.

Hmmm.

The draw to me to the RV armor product vs the Flex Armor is that I don't have to drive 4 hours and either get a hotel, or drive home and then back again, to get it done.

This thread: https://www.jaycoowners.com/forums/f41/major-roof-deterioration-after-5-years-32388-4.html

Says ~0.5 lb per square foot. So for a 28 foot trailer you'd get 28 x 8 x 0.5 = 112 lbs.

Cool. I signed up for a quote.

I'd have to take it for a long drive to get to the location where they do flex armor roofs (about 4 hours from here), but would probably be worth it.

I'm not hopeful insurance will pay anything at this point, as it's a leak that damaged the roof over the last year and not a sudden event like a hailstorm.
