Day 2 of inside tear down

The gutting is going pretty well.  I am using the camera phone to take pictures of wire locations and connections as I pull out the lights and get the wire out of the way.  That way I don't have to guess on what wire went where. LOL

Found a couple of wires that had been stapled right through the actual wire.....I will be fixing that. ;-)

First Time attempting a vintage Midas RV restoration - Beginning stages

Okay, I'll post some pics and info of what I am dealing with from the start on this. This will be a long term project that I will complete as time allows from work and such.
