1.25" of rain last night, the only wet spot in the back of the camper was at the bottom of the ramp door and that should be fixed when I get the weather stripping around it. So pretty happy with what we've gotten done so far.
On the other hand, it was wet in the right front corner but we knew that was the next repair.

Today the TT got new tail lights, all the clearance lights on the back got cleaned and resealed.
The ramp has a sheet of 0.050 aluminum on the outside, all the weather stripping in place and sealed up nicely. Made a drip cap and the porch light is now on the front side of the ramp.
Insulated the back wall and put on the paneling. We went with a bathroom paneling since we have a tendency to get a little messy. Just need to finish the outlet and do the trim, the floor is next.

Work and the weather have been slowing things down but have been getting some little things done. Today I built a spice rack;
Installed the knife rack;
A light over where the prep table will be and a shower curtain to keep some of the splatter off the walls;
Hopefully in the morning the putty I put in screw and knot holes will be dry and I can start laying the tile floor.

Last night we started by taking out the front windows and got the propane tanks out of the way so today we made great progress.
The damage to the front was mostly limited to the corners and 2 front windows
Was able to sneak under the siding and replace the rotted wood on the left front window;
Got all the wood replaced around the right front window. The door that was replaced by the ramp was the better of the 2 so it's now up front;
We started framing in the front window and will finish that tomorrow.

What is the "prep table" and what splatter are you going to keep off of the walls?
BTW: your pictures are excellent for showing others what the expect if they consider tackling this sort of thing themselves. All it takes is a little wood working skills to fix the outer walls in these things. The cabinets however, take a little more skill for them to come out as nice looking as the ones you are doing.

Thanks all! We do barbecue competitions, so the "prep" table will be where we trim and 'prepare' the meats for smoking. The splatter comes from injecting the meat, it sometimes squirts everywhere.
Today we pretty much wrapped up the major repairs, this is the front end framed and insulated;
And here is the outside;
There is still a lot to be done but other than repacking the wheel bearings it's mostly cosmetic stuff.
It was in the 50s so we put some water in the tank and lit the water heater, had a few leaks that we took care of and then winterized it again but at least we know the water system works.
