Destruction
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
But here's the problem. There was some "broke" things so we naturally decided to "fix" everything. There was some water damage in spots, which meant that parts of our motorhome's walls, roof, and floor had rotted. To fix it requires taking apart a lot of the structure to figure out where the damage is and replace that plywood.
So, the past week or so has been majorly dedicated to destruction. We had lots of friends stop by to help us with this process. Thanks to all of them!
The laminate flooring had to go as well - years of use made it very brittle and cracked in some spaces.
The dinette cushions had to go as well. The fabric was ripped in places and had a pattern straight out of a history book. Time for a serious upgrade! Thankfully the foam is still in good condition so I will be recovering them.
The upper bed had to come out as there is a lot of water damage on the left side. The foam had some evidence of rot as well, so we have to order a new mattress for here.
The bed area from the outside. You can see the rotten plywood here.
The hole where the bed used to be. I left the guys alone for like half a day and then I come back and BOOM! The bed and WHOLE FRONT OF THE MOTORHOME WERE GONE!! How rude.
This used to be the roof.
The cabinets above the dinette have been ripped out. Apparently all the wiring in the motorhome ran through those cabinets so that'll be fun to deal with later for sure. Our plan is to make those cabinets larger to increase storage area. Ya just never know when you'll accidentally take a trip to Costco and come back with half the store 😂
(Side note, did not know you could add emojis until now!)
What a fun (but big) project!
