camper project

been busy with this mess for the past two weeks.I had a bad leak in the camper and it was in a  area I could not see.the way I dicovered it,the floor began to get very mushy/soft.
 so I proceed to tear it apart and remove all the bad wood and replace it all.

when you buy a camper,beware and look it over good.I believe the seller knew that it had a leak and never bothered to mention it.

this is as far as I got today with it.

Looks good! How big is it? If we could find a little pop up it would be nice, but never have the $ when the deals come around

Hard to believe a camper ever would have been manufactured with an OSB floor. That stuff just falls apart when wet, and all campers are pr0ne to leaking at some point in their lives....

Also hard to believe they used it because of the flammability it it.
That stuff burns hot and fast.

cougar86_89: it is a 2003 24' coachman

Mercury-man: I bought it last year.I had a 2003, 31' Jayco I bought brand new (I loved that camper) before this one and I sold it after I switched jobs.

Ipsd : the only way this thing will ever fly,is when I drive if off a cliff.

you would not believe how cheaply RV's are made.they do everthing possible to keep the weight and exspense down on them.

as far as the OSB board,its fine,as long as it stays dry.........lol
