Bunk Repair Continues...Exterior Almost Finished

The snow is melting, the weekend is here....it's time to get back to 

work on the Tioga Project.

Removing ice from the Tioga roof was fun. 

Time to inspect our work and see if the adhesives cured in the cold temps.

The Cab Over Rebuild Continues

We had snow, ice, and freezing rain February 11-14th. 

Since the camper was covered with a tarp and Adco cover, we worked a little more on the inside removing carpet and priming some areas with Zinnser. 

When the weekend came, we were ready to get to work.

The arrows show a few more pieces of water damaged wood we still need to remove.

After removing the rest of the rotten wood, the hubby installed a 2x2 frame under 

the window and attached it to the metal side walls.  

We used adhesive and self tapping metal screws. 

Cab Over Demo Ends & Rebuild Begins

As we continued taking the cab over bunk apart, we realized quickly 

we were going to be doing a rebuild and not just repairing some areas. 

We were working until very late at night due to the 

predicted snow storms on the horizon.

With the bunk interior removed, we can now formulate a plan of action.

The Tioga Project Begins! Surveying The Water Damage.

We knew the Tioga had water damage in the over the cab bunk but to what extent, we were not sure.

Day 1 - The demo begins

Removing the trim.

All metal trim removed.

 This seam is the cause of the majority of the water damage. 

The wood behind this seam fell apart in my hand.
