How frustrating. I know how you felt because I've been dealing with a leak in my concrete stream with no liner for years. I'm pretty sure that I've isolated the individual pond that it's in and have tried epoxy, spray foam,, acrylic concrete sealer, and last night, an epoxy concrete sealer that is supposed to work under water. It seemed to have held overnight, so I started the pump again, only to find that the pump lost vacuum after a few hours and the water level has gone down again after re-priming and refilling the stream. The mystery is that there is no indication of where the water is going. Maybe back into the aquifer? I'm thinking that I might be dealing with more than one issue. Next step is to turn off the pump and see if the same pond is still losing water and if it is, I'll try food coloring to see where it's leaking.

Thanks, Phillip. Ya this roof may be the ultimate end of me, lol.

You have more patience than I would have to find that leak. Good job, thanks for sharing ! Have a blessed day!

Tools that really work for you - of course - can save the pain of doing it by hand. Persuasion is the necessity, sometimes, for sure ! Good tutorial, Arne ! Nice ride; I had one myself & often miss it ! 🙂

That stuff is densdeck it gets mushy like that when it gets wet.

Those corners are garbage too

Great idea - that scissor-lift ! Indeed, boring is good, when it comes to electrical ! 😉

Pipes, gunk, wet all over & all that = never-ending, is it ? Plumbers putty is never a waste, in my experience, so I never skip that, even for peace-of-mind. Indeed, there is a fine line between reusing existing parts, before full replacement with new ! 😉

I do not care for the flat panel led fixtures, when they go out more problems, more expensive to replace than just a led bulb. But if that is what administration wants then you do what you are told. Looks good! Good job! Thanks for sharing ! Have a blessed day !

I really appreciated this video. I’ve done some flat roofing repair in the past, but I’ve never tackled a Drain, but you made the process simple and straightforward.

I totally understand anytime someone is intentionally damaging or abusing the facility. It is very discouraging. Sometimes if it’s not major, I’ll leave something that they have damaged intentionally broken for a period of time so they have to live with it.

Yo a great product for rubber rejuvenation is AT205 reseal worked great on my motorcycle gas tank rubber that was leaking and after a soak no more leak it's worth a look into... love the channel....

Nice job 👍

I am surprised that you were not told that this was going to be done so that you would have alt least some extra parts on hand to reinstall some of the faucets and have a somewhat working restroom. Good job thanks for sharing! Have a blessed day !

I've Been Framed ! LOL Up & Down, Up & Down...Reminds me of ME, at times ! Great job, once again, Arne & now looking forward to Part II 😉

Oh the summer projects, so much to do in so little time. Good job! Thanks for sharing! Have a blessed and safe day !

Nice start to the work as always, As you have electricians on site, can they lengthen the motion Sensor ‘Lights out’ time to perhaps an hour ? That way, you will at least get an hour’s work in, before being plunged into darkness, but the lights will still get automatically turned off (just a little longer) when the rooms not in use ?? Being LED lighting, there shouldn’t really be any cost deficit 🤷‍♂️ Look forward to part 2

Built from scratch ! Nice job, once again, Arne !😊

Lucky you, wall was reinforced 😊

Bravo - Mr. "Gas Man" !😅

And then put pool noodles on the bars so they can slide them off for presentations and slide them back on for gym classes!

The wall is solid concrete. If the wire runs and junction boxes aren’t part of the original plan and formed in before the wall is poured, anything after the fact is surface mounted. Thanks for watching!

Was there some reason why it can’t be recessed into wall? Nice fix, hopefully no more blood born injures. Thanks for sharing ! Have a blessed day!

Background music = instant Dislike.

Really surprised they ran the line under the RV where it may get damaged. Good job, thanks for sharing! Have a blessed day !

Hi Arne! Just back from a 3 week vacation in Japan and catching up on what you've been up to. Great to see the progress on the trailer and it being in good use already! Loved this ongoing series, it fit well with the random one-off repairs at the school.

15:49 CAN'T believe you put that BIG thing OVER that small hole

LOL , DON'T need the useless annoying background noise

I have the same Aerolite with the same messed up soft floor. We bought it used and have used it with the soft floor. We really need to rebuild it, glad I found your site to help us get started.

Never a dull moment, for sure. Thanks for watching!

Awesome tutorial. I really appreciate the time you took with the details. 🙂👍

That’s what I like about general maintenance, you work on a variety of different things. Good job! Thanks for sharing! Have a blessed day!

Bravo, once again !😉

Nice repair, thanks for letting us tag along. Please keep the videos coming. Have a blessed day !

Yup… totally agree. As I’ve mentioned a number of times during this series, this is a repair not a restoration - I just need it to last me 3 or 4 years. Thanks for watching!

One thing about camper rv's, maintenance. Any little leak will rot the floors. You may think that you sealed the rubber roof but since most rv roofs are 1/4" plywood stapled to the roof rafters, the staples end up popping thru the rubber and thus causing small leaks. Marker lights, j-channel gutter screws and vent seams all seam to leak over time. They don't make campers to last or they go out of business. I have a park model trailer( not one to go camping with) that has a pitched shingled roof, 5/8" tongue and groove plywood floor and 2x4 walls. Most campers have 2x2 walls and OSB floors and cheap plumbing that tends to leak. You are basically putting lipstick on a pig. Lol

Binge watched this whole series and that turned out pretty good. I will likely be helping my son replace the floor in his old camper that I gave him. It had a soft floor when I bought it and just decided to give it to him as I found it wasn't for me and my wife (a hybrid). Your videos gave me ideas on how to tackle it although it has actual aluminum floor joists. The previous owner just slapped a sheet of plywood over the rot and is now just soft and things are off kilter from the extra height. You experience with the laminate tells me to use vinyl flooring. Thanks and enjoy camping.

LOL - wasn't necessarily qualified to install that Step-Stabilizer ! Another LOL moment - "tiny woodland creatures in that tail light lens" ! Water-testing is never a bad idea, as we both know, Arne !😊

Sad to see the restoration come to an end, was enjoying watching and leaning something new. Great job on this project. Thanks for sharing. Have a safe trip and have a blessed day !

I’m doing this exact job to a trailer right now. I’m lucky, I’m just in the bed/pass thru area. My styrofoam is 1 1/2” thick so I am going to use 1 1/2” square steel tubing for ‘joists’. I will cut ‘flaps’ at each end and screw each end to the square tubing under the wall. That will support the wall and tie everything together. It will be structurally fine (16” OC) and won’t rot again. A huge pain, but if I get a few more years out of my RV it will be worth it.

The music in the video is irritating as hell.

Last half should go like clockwork ! The learning curve is behind you, Arne !

Thanks, Phillip!

Another great activity your school offers the students. I have never heard of a school here in the US that offers this activity. I am sure the teachers and students are appreciative of all your work. Good job, thanks for sharing! Have a blessed day !

I just bought a camper and found that we had a rotted floor. It's an 26RGSL Aerolite, and I cant thank you enough for the detailed videos. I am going to be starting on this project soon.

Thanks any idea on product name I should look for?

Great post. Any ideas on how to insulate from heat as i plan to use a container for my dogs to sleep in.

Enjoyed watching the longer episode of the travel trailer rebuild. Thanks for sharing, very interesting! Good job ! Have a blessed day !

Thanks for posting this, I had ordered a solar fan I was going to install into the door to pull air in. After watching this video I cancelled the fan and ordered the whirlybird. I had thought of doing this but didn't know how I'd install on a non-flat roof. I installed exactly as you show in this video. I'm just waiting on some side vents to finish everything. Have the same exact moisture problem in mine with a moldy ceiling. I appriciate you posting this video!

NAILED it, Arne, once again !😊
