Thanks! I've made quite a bit of progress since the last update- cabinets done, painted, countertops done. Life has been really crazy lately, so havent had time for a good update with pictures, but it's coming!

I was just planning on using house paint. The cabinets in my house have been painted for decades, can't imagine why it won't work in the camper. The butcher block is about an inch and a quarter thick, so not terribly heavy. Given I've got a 6.5 foot bed and my camper is the 7 footer, only...

Yes! Started work on the inside- got sick last weekend so that slowed progress some, but I’ve got the cabinet face for the kitchen side all cut out, the fridge and furnace installed. Plan is to get the inside framed out and painted by the end of the weekend. Picked up some butcher block for the...

Thanks! I was actually looking at some garage door seals today at home depot, I think those, along with some regular old weather stripping will do the trick. Garage door seal to cover the gap and the weather stripping inside it to seal the body up when it's closed. Very glad I sprung for the...

This is upside down, but this is the floor. for some stupid reason i can't figure out how to save it once flipped when I upload it into my gallery, and something about the image doesn't work to upload through the tapa talk app.

Big progress this weekend. Got the floor replaced and new laminate the wifey picked out installed, put reinforced water proof plywood along the drivers side, installed the fourth jack and did some serious caulk work. I bought flashing to tuck the roof rubber, but it didn’t fit like I wanted so...

THanks! I bent my metal trim some getting it off, and the rubber insert is trash. I still haven't decided, but I'm thinking of using this to trim the roof: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Metal-Sales-5-in-x-10-5-ft-J-Channel-Drip-Edge-Flashing-in-Galvalume-4227441/204289037 Then running one of...

What type of inverter are you running to use the dorm fridge?

man it looks great!

Definitely jealous you’re camping in yours! I got the rubber glued to the top today on mine. Added a little more support to the inside and routered out a hole for the vent fan. I put it right smack in the middle of the roof, figured that was the best spot for airflow. Still have plenty of room...

Got the new roof structure completed today. It’s a little bit narrower than the lift posts like, measure twice cut once! I should be able to tweak it a little and get the top going up and down smoothly again. Very pleased with how it turned out. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll get the rubber coating on it.

I was out of town last weekend and am current in the airport for a trip for this weekend, so no new progress. I did get my rubber roof skin, so pretty excited to get the roof and exterior stuff done and move on to the fun stuff- the interior! Any progress on yours?

Just bought a new rubber roof kit from Amazon for $228. My plan at this point is to just scrap and rebuild the entire thing. I'm planning 12ft 1x6s for the perimeter where it ties into the lift points, use a couple 1x6s across for support, then 1/4in or maybe even thinner plywood across the...

Well I spoke too soon on the roof. I spent all day working on it, and have determined some of this stuff just isn't made to come apart and be reused. The front of mine was rotten, and the back is rotten as well. the frame appears to be in good shape, but it is sagged in the middle and I can't...

Progress from today, used metal roofing flashing to tie things back together in the front and got the bed surface covered in carpet. Installing the fourth jack and replacing a piece of the roof is on the list for tomorrow and hopefully onto the inside! this only shows the roofing tape I used...

as far as I can tell, the roof only needs new wood on the very front, so I'm hoping that's fairly straight forward. I haven't investigated a whole lot yet.
