    The wood stringers in the floor were rotted to point of crumbling not to mention the million screws used since the previous owner put 5 sheets of plywood down just to make the floor piece alone.

    Wall cavities are little thin for my taste of only one inch thick in depth so time to add more. While I'm at it time to replace the 4x4's that the camper tie downs were bolted to to be replaced. They were so rotted they crumbled in my hands.

    Looks more solid than most cube vans I usually see, I like the barn doors just as hoodoo mentioned. If anything put a door in a barn door, but at all cost leave those on.

    Will be waiting for them. Seems this place is dead in the water and the number of people actually building something on here is just us two. At same time the number of people like us dwindle in this country too...

    Yep I do, it’s a 5 speed. To get skills just grab whatever you want to do and screw up a few times trying to do it and learn from your mistakes. I never went to trade schools or any college nor did anyone teach me, all self taught. I believe you can do it with time.

    Don't have as many as years as you but I sure learn quick and know you got it going on right! Losing 8 inches isn't bad as I thought it was at one time then I ended up with a truck camper I'm living in and see it takes some getting used to. I'm over on cheaprvliving.com and some the things they...

    Pictures... Priming it... This almost caused a few wrecks since I lived on a main street in the city at the time of this and sure caused people to stop and look too. Even the city code enforcer loved it so much he paid me a visit to tell me I need to move it.

    Sounds good and sounds like you not only mitigated from moisture damage but thermal bridging too of outside temperatures. Sounds like you know what you are doing unlike one forum I am on. What’s the outside dimensions of the trailer 96 or 102 inches, any plans of solar panels on the roof?

    Quiet honestly I would of went a different route of spray insulating and adding furring strips to increase the wall cavity. Though fiberglassing the floor is great idea what are you using, epoxy or polyester resin? Hopefully epoxy since it’s stronger... Ever heard of Sketchup or good with...
