Thanks Dave.. What do you think about the Product Armor Garage?

Hi Dave. I am going to put a new top on my 1990 Wilderness Yukon by Fleetwood. It is only 19' and the way you said to just do the plywood, seal and coat sounds too good to be true lol. I was wondering how your roof is still holding up? And could you please tell me what gimp edges is? Thank you so much...

Hi Dave , Thanks for all the information for my 1959 tour a home named "Diamond" cause she is a diamond in the rough.

Have looked into what you suggested and found it all very helpful. Also liquid roof sounds much easier than the membrane ones. as for winterizing her am looking into possibly putting a temp roof with pitch on her along with tarp; guess i will have to master taking pics so i can post her progress as i beging to restore her.

Again thanks for all your help and I am glad i found this site. feels real good

Hi Dave: I have posted about the 1974 Midas Mini 22 ft C what I plan to buy and repair. The rood was destroyed by a falling tree 8 years ago and the unit has been garaged ever since.  I was the pride and joy of the owner who, sadly, passed away with the repair only partially finished.

A roll of aluminum (103" wide) comes with the RV so I will use it.  Could I get your suggestions on....

1. The spacing of rafters and blocking between rafters.  I am pretty sure he had 2" actual dimension lumber cut for this job.

2.Do I need plywood decking? If so, what thickness? 1/8, 1/4, 3/8? I do want to be confident walking on the roof and I assume the sheet aluminum is thinner of the two available (.032 as opposed .040, I think)

3. Can I screw down the sheet on the perimeter only or do have to put down screws (therefore holes) across the body of the sheet and if so what (Externabond) product should I seal them with, and, finally,

4. Can I use the Externabond Web along the edge on both sides instead of purchasing new metal molding/channel (or whatever the right term is)

I really appreciate you advice here along with that from a number of other members.  I am anxious to get on with the job but want to get my plans firm before I start.  Thanks a lot. (I am in upstate New York)

I know what you mean about ceiling height. The thing that sold me about the camper I bought was how tall it is. My dad is about 6' 2" and even he can stand up in my camper.

Thanks for the encouragement! I just took my disaster to Camping World to have it checked out. Boy, do they know nothing about vintage trailers. As soon as they realized the furnace and refrigerator didn't work, they gave up checking it out, saying it would cost money to repair. I told them I didn't want the furnace or refrigerator any, so get back to work please. I'm not quite a restore-like-new kinda gal. Want a new refrigerator, maybe the furnace could be used for an a/c, who knows. What I don't know yet is if it is even worth getting into.

Where is here? Is there anyone in Central Texas who can supervise this project if they don't want to do the work. 

Thanks, Dave. Carol
