This is so helpful; I'm trying to do the exact same thing right now but I have no idea what I'm doing lol So far I'm just ripping out old wood and gross styrofoam. I didn't think to take out the windows first, so I guess I'll do that next haha

I had a friend help me with restoration of a boat - with wood which is in fair shape and dry (important) you can make a thin mix of fiberglass resin add a few drops of acetone to thin it out. Using a paint brush generously spread the now more watery mix over the wood. It will be absorbed by the wood and then set up giving you a good firm base to work from. Did all the stringers on a 1959 dorsett boat and they set up like rocks.

We just bought a 66 model camp trailer. I'm afraid I'll be doing this. But the wife loves the vintage look.

Oh, the more you look the more rot there is! There must be a million of these slowly rotting into the ground. Good thing you have the skills and ability. How many hours... how will this pencil out, time will tell.

Nice work! What did you charge?

Going through a process of measuring, documenting construction, assembly methods used, sourcing of acceptable replacement materials, all would have been so much more helpful. The constant look how broke this is, becomes really distracting. Yup its all coming out would have been enough. Your rebuild talents must be such that you have faith in re-buildability.

stick of dynamite should do it. Im so glad i sold my 29' class C replaced the roof n resealed it twice rubber roofs are horrible
@covetthecamper2289 Жыл бұрын
EPDM and TPO Rubber are excellent materials. It’s almost always neglected maintenance that causes the leaks. I’ve inspected original EPDM rv roofs that have been properly maintained last 20-25 years.

I'm finishing up similar cab over rebuild on my 98 c class. After drying out I painted the framing with a hardener and sistered in where needed. U mentioned jacking up the cab over? Do U have any pictures of the process?

Yes, next couple of videos will show that process.

Hi. We have the same issue. But we also have water leaking on the ceiling inside the cab itself. Where would that water be coming from

There’s a seam/sealant where the fiberglass meets the van cab/chassis. That seam/sealant should be inspected and resealed if needed

I own and live in my 15' 1976 Dodge cruise master with the cab over window ( just an average house window) . All my windows are not class c windows... House Windows, and that's causing water damage. My nightmare 😔
