I made pretty good progress this weekend. I finished the patches in both of the back corners. I recycled galvanized out of the scrap heater that was still running down the side wall, straightened out the edges, removed the old plywood, sprayed all exposed edges with rustoleum and riveted the new corners in place. The previous owner had patched a broken window with sheet metal but did not seal it or rivet it in so we removed both back windows and replaced the metal. By cutting the rubber seal on the outside the windows tipped in and came out easily. I applied silicone before riveting it in. I also temporarily patched the holes left from missing upper lights. I hope to replace the lights but did not want to continue any damage from the raining in. We stripped off the old wooden platform skeleton that was left on the roof and made sure there wasn't any issues hiding on the roof. Looks good and solid. Weather permitting we will be painting the roof soon. I started putting up some window tint. I am really happy with it. It is a heat resistant platinum film. Bought it at Lowe's for $46 per 4'x15' roll. We really wanted a dark tint but the heat resistant was more important. We are in the sunshine state
We are beginning the framing for the bed. We are building a storage area underneath it with the platform on hinges. Our first fifth wheel had that and it helped alot with storage. It will be alot taller and will have access from the back door as well. I posted a few new pics showing the progress.
