Hi everybody, I'm just starting a remodel of a 1984 Winnebago Cheiftain 27' that I saved from a trip to the dump. I took a big leap, sold our truck camper that we have been camping in on the beaches of Cape Cod for the past 7 years, and hopefully use the money to get this thing mobile and beach ready. We have seen this rig on the beach this past summer so it ran up until recently. The Fuel system needs replacing and it was full of mice so I am also gutting the inside. I'm a builder so hopefully I can get the interior done with a combination of leftover job materials and a few upgrades. I plan on keeping the layout roughly the same.
A few alterations I'm considering are
- removing the generator(broken) and making the compartment a home for 2 vertical blue rhino propane tanks to make refilling easier.
- replacing the water heater with a tankless water heater
- switching the oven/range with a top mount range
- complete redo of the electric system and put solar on the roof
- recessed lights with switches so the kids can turn lights on at night.
Hopefully its "done" by July! I'll take pics along the way
