Hello out there in the RV forum!
I recently picked up a 1985 minnie winnie that needs to be remodeled. It belonged to my brother. He basically gave it away since He didn't have time to do the renovation. Rodents had declared war on it a few years back & it appears that they won! On the toilet, it leaks from the floor. It might be cracked from water that was left in over the winter. I see one bolt by a pedal that holds it down. Are there anymore? The ceiling has significant water damage to the panels around the roof air. It looks like the ceiling was built out of 1-1/4 inch plywood. The plywood is waterlogged. I'm not sure if its smart to try to replace it. Perhaps it will just dry out. Any suggestions? Any ideas on how to eliminate the rodent smell?
The wall cabinets present the greastest mystery to me. In my 40 years of tinkering, I've never seen a cabinet or anything attached to a wall with screws that the company does not allow access to. I ended up using a sawzall to cut them free. These are the bottom screws that attach to the wall. My only guess is that you need to remove the veneer of the cabinet to get to them. I appreciate any suggestions & thanks for any advice offered!
