[@StateFun]

Audio got messed up in a few spots on this one during upload.. thanks for your patience! Y'all have a good one!

Adding PL Premium adhesive to any joints works like magic. Extra strong all day long. Cheers.

[@StateFun]

Thanks for the tip!

[@katieautry3370]

Great video thanks!

[@katieautry3370]

Looking forward to moRe videos. Just started my project. No experience. So yours and emilys helps ! Thanks

[@StateFun]

@@katieautry3370 hope you enjoy the playlist! I think the redesign turned out great!

[@johndunham7366]

Perhaps consider using Advantech plus on your camper as it is water resistant and guaranteed for like 25 years or more.

[@StateFun]

Haven't heard of that before. I'll look it up!

[@SquarebodyTruckCamper]

great video. seems like you fixed that rot quick

[@StateFun]

Thanks! It's amazing how quickly it can happen with the magic of KZbin!

[@SquarebodyTruckCamper]

@@StateFun Yes, having the KZbin magic can be deceiving for some viewers for how long these projects can take in reality. Great build!

I just bought a 1984 lance with quite a bit of water damage. Watching your video motivated me to get in there and fix it correctly. I sure wish I had you here to help!!! Thank for the video and super cool truck and camper!

[@StateFun]

Repairing the water damage wasn't too bad, it's putting all the paneling back up that became a bit frustrating... But after it's done you look back and see it was worth it! Hope your project goes well!

[@sailingeden9866]

I would have painted the rot damaged areas, and possible future wet spots with a coat of penetrating epoxy resin.

[@StateFun]

That woulda been a good idea. Luckily we haven't noticed any wetness, and we keep it covered now. Hopefully we won't see any issues in the future

[@mr_jake.y8348]

Is that 3/4 plywood on the ceiling. Lol

[@StateFun]

Nah, all of the ceiling and walls were thin panel board. Only plywood was on the floor and bed area.

[@larryhullinger4141]

The camper is really in pretty good shape for as old as it is Could have been A LOT WORSE Nice work fixing it

[@aaronclaerhout4756]

Keep up the good work 👍always fun watching your video s.

[@StateFun]

Thanks! Glad to hear you enjoy it!

[@josephloughrey3434]

I would think you would want to change out those jalousie windows. Drafty leakers.

[@StateFun]

We weren't too concerned with the draft, and we actually like the look of it from the outside. I don't think it would have the same vibe if we changed over to modern rv windows.

[@maartena6283]

You’re doing a great job! I’m doing a similar project and like you had to clean it out right to the bones :) Keep it up! Looking forward to the next video.

[@StateFun]

Thanks for the comment. Hope your project goes well!

[@frankzicari784]

Should have used angle aluminum on the ceiling, would have had no flex at all.

[@prestonsauls3856]

thats a lotttttttt of work good job im working on a 69

[@StateFun]

Hope you're having fun with yours!

[@bullvine1974]

How much does it cost to pay someone to do something like this?

[@StateFun]

I'm honestly not sure, even trying to estimate is difficult for me, I had probably 3 weeks total labor, but the materials aren't bad since it's such a small space.

[@angrydingus5256]

Stripping down a camper is always a bit nerve racking for me. Especially the newer ones held together with 1x1s, staples, and glue. Overall though looks like you got a gem to work with right off the bat. Roof hatches, windows, and corner seems always seem to be the worst spots for damage/leaks.

[@StateFun]

It definitely could have been way worse than what we found!
