Yes we did have a travel trailer before this one. I liked towing the fifth wheel because I didn't get as much of the sway as I did with our pull behind. We have since got a new (Used) fifth wheel that we like even better because we found one with a full size bathroom. Stay tuned for the before and after video of that one. And thanks for the comments!

Thank you, it makes me happy that you loved it!

Thank you for the amazing comment!

If you decide to do any painting, I highly recommend using the Zinzer BIN primer. It is a little more expensive (around $80 a gallon) but we have found it sticks best to the cabinets and RV walls. Thank you so much for the wonderful comment!

It sure needs it! 🤣

I am glad you found it helpful, thanks for taking the time to comment friend!

It is heavy, but I was able to get the roof off myself. I just slowly went from side to side and shimmied it to where I could lower it to the ground, if that makes sense.

@@parkedredesign perfect, thank you my brother

@@Szabi9246 No Problem!

Thanks so much, I appreciate the comment!

I can, I am out of town working and don’t have my computer. I will list it in the comment section when I get back.

I am not aware of any regulations that require it to be certified by a gas fitter.

@@parkedredesign I guess we have different rules here in Aus

Thanks for the comment, we didn't think we would ever get rid of it, but our newest restoration we feel came out even better. Ill be posting before and afters hopefully soon of that.

I used Heng's rubber roof coating. I do have a video on how I fixed and painted it (it is the part 2 video) In that video I show the can that I used and there is a link as well :)

Thank you I appreciate the comment!

Eventually I would love too! My work has had me traveling so much I haven't had much time to work on even the new camper I got for myself. I haven't posted a new video in a while because of this, but hopefully I will soon.

I reused the bottom molding that was already on the camper. If your camper does not have this molding, Panther RV products does sell this type of molding. (panthervproducts.com)(search rv trim) As far as leak prevention we put a bead of clear silicone across the top of the diamond plate and then silicone over all the screws. I did not have any leaks. My wife prefers she does that part because I make a mess of it when I try to use the caulk gun. She doesn't like to be filmed so that is why that process is not in the video. I know you can do it!

Not exactly sure which layer you are talking about, but if it was the foam layer, I couldn't cut that because I didn't want to risk cutting the thin metal roof.

Thank you for the comment!

Thanks for the comment. One thing I did in the video that you can omit is I added pipe tape to the threads. You don't need pipe tape on flare fittings.

Thank you for the compliment!

The metal cross beams are attached to the roof with screws through the wood stringers. The metal cross beams have a slight curve to them which I believe it is suppose to help curve the roof so it does not sink down.

Thanks for the Awesome Comment!

I didn't pressure wash this one because it had a lot of holes in it, so I just hand washed it. If it didn't have all the holes I would have pressure washed it.

@@parkedredesign Thank You 😊

@@joannekennedy4093 You're Welcome

I rebuilt the bottom cabinets and kept the top cabinets. I used 1 x 2 and 1/8" plywood to build the bottom cabinets. To paint the cabinets I highly recommend using Zinsser BIN Primer. It is a little more expensive like $75 a can, but I find you don't have to do any prep like sanding the cabinets before hand and I have not had any issues with the paint scratching off. We then use Valspar Cabinet and Furniture paint (Satin) for the cabinets. I am currently remodeling another fifth wheel and will be posting a video on how I rebuilt one of the cabinets in it.

Thank you for the Beautiful comment!

This roof was a thin aluminum not sure of the thickness but it was pretty thin. For the crown staples that I used to attach the center wood stingers to the side stringers they were half inch (the stringers were 3/4 inch wide) To attach the ceiling panels to the stringers I used 1/2 inch narrow crown staples (as well as liquid nails during both processes) To attach the metal support brackets to the ceiling panels I used 3/4" screws.

Thank you, Is your roof metal like this one? If so you could get a thin piece of metal and rivet it over the hole then cover it with the hengs waterproof coating. You could also see if you could find an rv skylight cover depending on the size of the hole and place that over the opening, then you would have a view to the stars :)

@@parkedredesign thank you!

Right

Glad it helped, I used the 3/4 inch 4x8 sheets of expanded Polystyrene board insulation. I got it at Lowes.

Thank you

Thank you for the comment!

Yes. I bought it at Lowes. It is called Revolution Ply. It is .197 or 5mm plywood sheathing. It used to be around $16 a sheet but I think now it is more like $26

Thanks for the comment!

Yes, I used the fuze-it extreme temperature construction adhesive to glue it to the top. This top was an aluminum skin. I then glued and stapled the wood panels to that.

Those were the original ones, I just painted them.

I agree with you, I thought the same thing after I started painting over it. Next time I would do that.

@@parkedredesign I thought the same thing but you know what, that is a hell of a lot of work you did on this and if that is the only issue, you've done a heck of a job.

@@seeya4046 I will say, I also thought the rubber paint was going to be thick enough to cover the imperfections, but it wasn't

@@seeya4046 Thank you, I appreciate that!

Thank you, I believe it would be, especially if the price was right and there is no water damage. Water damage is where it can be a little costly to repair. Is it aluminum siding or fiberglass? Aluminum siding is a little easier to repair in my opinion, but both can be done.

Thank you for the beautiful comment. I keep telling her she needs to sell her business and go into this full time!

Thanks friend, I appreciate the comment. Good luck on your project!

Thank you for the nice comment, friend.

I appreciate the comment, It inspires me to keep making them Thanks again!

Thank you, I would love to know how yours turns out!

It was free but well worth the $3600 we put into it. Thanks for the compliment!

Glad to have found you in VRA @parkedredesign 😀 Have a great weekend.

@@LoFiChillandBeatsVibe Thank you, You do the same!

Thanks Mr. Wilson, Im always trying to #wootheboo!

Thanks for the excellent comment. We'll be posting our latest before and after renovation this week. So please stay tuned for that video. I would love to know your thoughts on it as well!

Great information, thank you for the comment.

Thanks for the "Cool" comment, I appreciate it!

Thanks I appreciate the great comment.

Thanks so much, its a work in progress, my on camera presence will get better 😁

Thanks again, and I will be checking back to see your full walk through of your kitchen in part 2!

Thanks.....I think?

Thank you, I appreciate the Amazing Comment!
