TIP: when looking at an older or vintage camper - CHECK EVERYWHERE FOR WATER DAMAGE!!!
We got ready to paint her white, oops my hand went thru the wall! Water Damage, ugh.
First step - find and seal the leak - done!
Step 2 - remove rotten wood (and moldy insulation) until you find good wood.
This involved removing the whole front of the inside of the camper, at which point we discovered the floor was soft under the table and bench, so out went the floor also.
The door had to come out also to get to all the soft wood.
We are now beginning to put in new studs and new floor joists, sub floor and then will put down vinyl tiles. Doesn't look like this girl is going glamping any time soon.
Once the front is done, we get to do the right back. Thankfully the middle section is all good. The flooring is here, as is the material for the curtains and to cover the cushions. I suppose I will work on them for now, so at least it feels like we are making progress. So sad. Since we had promised the grand kids a camping trip, we will break out the tents and "glamp" in them a time or two before harvest. Happy Camping (even in your house or a hotel).
