I was given a pop up by a friend that no longer needed it for his hunting trips. My neighbor saw me back up the pup and came over to check it out. And was impressed with it. But after starting to clean it out, and air it out I noticed a bit of soft wood above the door. Yikes the dreaded Coleman roof rot, no biggie the same neighbor is also bored during the winter months and is going to help me rebuild the roof. I will be posting a lot of pictures of the rebuild.
We are going with tigerply plywood, and epoxy infuse the wood. A trick he figured out building wood strip canoes. ( Those were beautiful, and when done sold for big money). I am hoping this will help out others with the same problem.
But the real question, will exposed lift rails cause water to enter the pop up camper? I see on the newer pups the canvas goes over the rails shielding it from water. Mine is exposed to the world and rain. It is planned for rain tomorrow and I have it setup in my driveway to monitor if there is any leaks. the picture was before I towed it home.
