KONA has his travel trailer in his shop to keep it dry,  and since its gonna be a cold and wet winter,  he decided to start tearing into the walls and begin the repairing process :smile17:

This endeavor is a bit over his head, plan to take pics and show this project as it comes apart and as it goes back together.

I've done a good bit of research over the past year and find different places to get things I'll need.
So this should be an interesting project

Well I need to go inside, take the bottom bunk bed apart, that's easy, so to disconnect the hot water heater so I can pull it out

Yes Sir... lol.  Yeah not sure if I'll use treated wood or fir,  I'd rather use treated pine but finding good straight wood in pine is not really easy :undecided:

I'd rather do the roof, than the walls,  and I'll be doing the roof and some floor on this trailer

Well that aint real bad! least you still got some wood to look at! Looks like your getting an early start!  The few i have done there was nothing but the tin,,you had to use your imagination on the rebuild!
The hardest and time consuming part is the tear down and clean up before you start going back with new wood!

The picture is miss leading,  it's bad,  and the skin on this one is vinyl

And patch I'm a carpenter and build for a living,  this shouldn't be to difficult,  I just got to take my time,  which will make it time consuming,  like Oldbuck40 says getting it apart and cleaned up is most of the battle

Wondered what direction you were gonna take with it. Will be interesting to follow along. You going to try & go back with original materials/design or just gonna see where it takes you. Or a little bit of both. :grin:

Surprised you didn't wash it first. :cheesy:
