So, we are all talking about sealing and whatnot. What about Red Guard? Would that work? Or is that for drywall only?

This is awesome. Thank you so much for all your input. I am hoping to tackle the roof soon and will look all that stuff up when we make our town run.

This is the best advice I have gotten so far. I am ALWAYS sunburnt here in the mountains. I moved here from Indiana and I swear the sun is about 100 feet away where I live now in Montana.

John likes to "overdo" things. He built roll cages back in his heyday, so I am pretty sure once we are done with the framing he will either have added too much weight or we will be able to take it 4-wheeling with the Jeeps. He was already talking about changing the frame to 2x4s and adding...

It sounds like you described our camper to a T! Thank you for sharing. It makes this project seem less daunting knowing that someone else went through that same scenario. Do you remember what you used to seal the roof? We are looking at a couple of options but we do not know which is best.

We know the back wall is pretty far gone, and the first 2 feet of the ceiling from the back are also just mulched. Once our monsoon has stopped here in NW Montana - we are going to finish trying to peel back the wall to assess the 'studs'. We do realize this is a huge project, but John is a...

I'm not sure if you are looking for actual campgrounds - or boondocking sites. There are a few resources for boondocking: Boondocking and Free RV Camping | Boondockers Welcome - this has a yearly fee of $79, but it pays for itself in about 3-4 camping nights (most smaller campgrounds charge...

It will be a fun and interesting learning experience! I am sure I will be on here often asking a million questions! I just moved to Montana from Cicero! We used to be neighbors!

That's a good idea. We already figured we would be working one side at a time, due to not having indoor space. I'm hoping the rear two corners, the roof and the front driver corner on the overhead bunk will be the only real damage that we have to contend with on the uppers, but we are literally...

The layers are glued together - Aluminum/Styrofoam/Thin wood. The owner bought new, made a few modifications, then took it on a trip to Alaska from Montana, and back. Unfortunately the original owner has passed and his son and grandson do not know all what was done prior. I'm not sure if...

Good morning! I just posted a quick introduction in the newbie thread, but this is where I believe I will be residing for quite a few months. We just acquired a '74 Midas Mini on a Dodge chassis and are in the process of taking her down to 'studs' and rebuilding her. The previous owner had...

Hello there. We just inherited a 1976 Midas Mini (Dodge) and are in the process of remodeling her. There was only one owner, but they did not maintain the roof, so it has been leaking for quite some time. We have ordered a couple rv restoration titles, and have been checking around on the...
