RV tiling





Yes, you can tile your RV. These are photos of a tile install I did in a 1996 motorhome. I'm not a great photographer, but you get the idea. The tile is a 2" X 2" unglazed, slip resistant product. The adhesive is R&R silicone rubber. The grout is R&R silicone rubber grout.   Two other companies have attempted to duplicate my silicone rubber products. They don't install tile, so I doubt if their products have evolved. I developed these products for the fiberglass spa and pool industry, but the same technology can be used in RVs, boats, and mobile homes. I've also utilized these products to tile many bathrooms. The silicone rubber grout is flexible, non porous and stain resistance. This makes maintenance on any of these almost nonexistent.

  3. The tiling materials were less than $100.00. The gold trim pieces cost about$20.00.

  5. Nice post hope you like my post lease consider the type of soil that you have. Fiberglass pools are not always the best choice depending on where you live. Do you have well or city water? The cost of water would not be an issue if you had well water. The only time you should completely drain a pool is in the instance of a liner replacement or painting. The same basic principles apply to any type of swimming pool-if you do not maintain proper and correct water balance no pool or equipment will be worth your investment of money or time. Only go with a salt chlorinator if you know how to properly use it and no matter what some salesmen may tell you--any system requires some effort and attention. It is never as "easy" as it is made out to be.

  6. Good advise, "Don't drain your pool".

    My friends at River Pools and Spas sell fiberglass pools. They've told many people that they should buy a a gunite pool. You are correct, a fiberglass pool isn't always the best choice.

    Another good point you make Smith is the word "maintain". Any pool requires maintenance. This applies to any type of pool. If you're not willing to put in the weekly time or hire a pool maintenance company, don't buy a pool.
