Water Damaged RV

I've been working down in Lucile, ID on an RV. The RV is a 1979 South Wind with a Chevy 454 CID. This RV had been parked for over 13 years up Race Creek Road. Then Jim bought the RV for $700 dollars. Quick re-cap I got busy fixing the engine enough to drive it from Race Creek to Riggins, filled with fuel, and drove out to Lucile. Now, this winter I started working on it again but now doing water damage repair. I brought a friend in Mark Hall to help out. So now the RV has water leaks from both the roof and from around the awning. After cutting into the wall from the inside and inspecting everything we opened up quite a bit trying to get to solid wood and steel frame. Spent pretty much an entire day just tearing out the cabinets, seating, and a table. Just to get access to the wall. I'll get photos tomorrow when I'm back at work on the RV.

 

Never know what I might be working on next... :whistle:

Yeah that would be optimal but hes such a long was from here and at least I've got Mark which has done several interior repairs and water leak repairs. Kind of racing against time with weather and temperatures. Lucile area is about another 1,200 feet lower than my place I've already seen temps as low as 26*F here. Lucile is more rain than snow and typically stays above freezing but not always.

You need @JAG1there to help.  A carpenter that also does reroofs on RV's.

Thanks IBMobile. I don't think I will do another... I'd rather cover up skylite holes with new ceilings.

Yeah I know... It's not fun we managed to get the passenger side house window removed. Had to fix the center post since the rivet rusted out and the glass strip was crushed under the glass. Rebuilt a majority of the passenger wall now and got the window re-installed in the wall just before weather started to change on us. Being it snowed last night and more snow on the way this week it might just close down our efforts for a bit.
