(Don't forget to scroll down!! Lots of info below)

bulletThese pictures are a progression show from starting to tear it apart and discovering more rot to hopefully one day the completed product. I will be updating this site as time permits.
bulletCheck back later for more pictures.
bulletThis whole thing started out as a leaky roof repair and fix one soft spot in the bathroom floor.
bulletI did, however, spend one night in it working out of town before I tore it apart.
bulletThis entire rebuild project was done in my driveway in a residential neighborhood.
bulletI would appreciate some feedback on this. Picture size? too big, too small? or anything else. thanks.
bulletI welcome any comments or suggestions you may have. (or the name of a good shrink ! !)

All pictures, descriptions and comments are the property of Bob. This website was created by me for the purpose of helping other "do it yourself" people to gain a better understanding of some of the aspects of RV repairs, and hopefully, instill enough confidence to tackle their own repair projects. I have made myself available for consultation to answer specific questions about individual situations. Just click the email link above.
