Great job, incredible !

I suggest that you create an associated company with Steve !
You will build a perfect camper with British technology and US touch or inverse if you prefer !!

That's why I'm planning on selling my camper. Don't look forward to doing that. Did it once, never again!

Wow! I am not sure I would have ever gotten involved in such a project after discovering such extensive water damage. But I can still appreciate the amount and quality of restoration work you did. Great job!

Very good job - that was a big rebuild. I was probably lucky that only the top layer of my roof needed replacing, not any of the structural timbers, but as Weymard eludes I made a rod for my own back on my rebuild by choosing a completely different technology for my replacement roof surface .

Wow! That was a lot of work! It looks excellent! I replaced the entire side of an old Lance I had a number of years ago , but vowed at this point that I DON'T WANT ANOTHER PROJECT! So I purchased my 1995 Weekender in my signature from the original owner in perfect condition. News flash... the front window leaks (go figure?!;-) I found rot in the frame surrounding the window on one small spot on the bottom corner. I'm NOT looking forward to taking the window out and finding out just what ELSE I'm in for. If it's too much this time, I'll just seal it up and trade it in. I used to really like doing these projects, but now, I just don't have the time or desire. I want to USE it, not work on it! Kudos to you! Hey! since mine is a Weekender also, and YOU are SO GOOD at this,... ya wanna another job?!

Congratulations on a job well done!
