I just bought a 1984 lance with quite a bit of water damage. Watching your video motivated me to get in there and fix it correctly. I sure wish I had you here to help!!! Thank for the video and super cool truck and camper!
Repairing the water damage wasn't too bad, it's putting all the paneling back up that became a bit frustrating... But after it's done you look back and see it was worth it! Hope your project goes well!
You’re doing a great job! I’m doing a similar project and like you had to clean it out right to the bones :) Keep it up! Looking forward to the next video.
We weren't too concerned with the draft, and we actually like the look of it from the outside. I don't think it would have the same vibe if we changed over to modern rv windows.
Stripping down a camper is always a bit nerve racking for me. Especially the newer ones held together with 1x1s, staples, and glue. Overall though looks like you got a gem to work with right off the bat. Roof hatches, windows, and corner seems always seem to be the worst spots for damage/leaks.
I'm honestly not sure, even trying to estimate is difficult for me, I had probably 3 weeks total labor, but the materials aren't bad since it's such a small space.
Audio got messed up in a few spots on this one during upload.. thanks for your patience! Y'all have a good one!
Adding PL Premium adhesive to any joints works like magic. Extra strong all day long. Cheers.
Thanks for the tip!
The camper is really in pretty good shape for as old as it is Could have been A LOT WORSE Nice work fixing it

Thanks for the comment. Hope your project goes well!
great video. seems like you fixed that rot quick
Thanks! It's amazing how quickly it can happen with the magic of RUclips!
@@StateFun Yes, having the RUclips magic can be deceiving for some viewers for how long these projects can take in reality. Great build!
Perhaps consider using Advantech plus on your camper as it is water resistant and guaranteed for like 25 years or more.
Haven't heard of that before. I'll look it up!
I would have painted the rot damaged areas, and possible future wet spots with a coat of penetrating epoxy resin.
That woulda been a good idea. Luckily we haven't noticed any wetness, and we keep it covered now. Hopefully we won't see any issues in the future
Is that 3/4 plywood on the ceiling. Lol
Nah, all of the ceiling and walls were thin panel board. Only plywood was on the floor and bed area.
I would think you would want to change out those jalousie windows. Drafty leakers.

Should have used angle aluminum on the ceiling, would have had no flex at all.

It definitely could have been way worse than what we found!
How much does it cost to pay someone to do something like this?
I'm honestly not sure, even trying to estimate is difficult for me, I had probably 3 weeks total labor, but the materials aren't bad since it's such a small space.
thats a lotttttttt of work good job im working on a 69
Hope you're having fun with yours!
