Talking Hello

I just bought this.



I've never owned a RV before.
I bought it knowing the floor was bad and have already begun the process of gutting it.

The plan is to reduce the interior to walls and floor. Then replace the floor, add insulation underneath, add insulation to the inside to all the walls and ceiling, clean the exterior and reseal then repaint, remove the double bed, move electrical wiring, make the upper bunk into a Murphy Bed and so much more.

This is my escape pod from an abusive marriage.

I don't make much money but I have good mechanical and construction skills. I'm confident I can make this a beautiful home.


I hope the members here have fun watching a NoOb destroy and rebuild my Jayco 165.

I would think in the "Maintenance and Repair" section.
