Where I'm at now.

And the inside damage. Leaving for Florida the beginning of June, so I need to make haste as I also have a Mach 8 Polar Cub 9200 on the way that needs putting in. LOL

Been there, done that on majar camper repair... following this thread and sending cyber-moral support your way. See it through and you will have a real sense of satisfaction when done.

Looks much like our 2002 Lance 915 did in 2009... If you like, read my story here: http://www.walzenbach.de/MK/BogQueenEN.htm You can do this and it will look great when finished! 2014 Ford F350 XLT 6.2 SCLB + 2017 Northstar Arrow

Thanks guys! Now that I've started, I feel good about the endeavor. More picks to follow. Btw, I just got my Curt Cargo Basket 18152 from Wally World for 80 plus dollars. The Reese front hitch comes tomorrow, so another project. Good thing I'm retired. Tom

Last year I tackled the wing rot on my '98 Adventurer. Now when I walk by it, I know she's solid for another 20 years. Have you got your Kreg jig and Fein tool? You will need them. Adventure before dementia

Sorry for the delay, but some more pictures. Of course work has expanded as I go deeper. Will have to repair enough to get on with my June trip and resume later. More to come later today.

Here is the first one that did not come out.

This was the result of a leaking window, I'm sure as it had a bunch of silicon applied to the upper left corner of it.

Wow, that's turning into a big project. Good luck with it.

Tom, nice job, it looks like you are using the Kreg system to screw the camper back together.
