A complete interior makeover.  Everything is coming out! Right down to the walls and subfloors.  What started off as a roof repair turned into a total renovation.  New furniture, new floor plan, all new custom made cabinets, drop down TV's, installing bunks, new bathroom, new bedroom, installing washer/dryer combo, in motion Satellite TV, surround stereo, new floors, new wall board, new kitchen counter and sinks, new ceiling.  All by April 2012. I always liked challenges.  I should preface this by saying that I have a full wood shop and make custom cabinets and just recently renovated my home kitchen with all new cabinetry, counters etc.  Yesterday was demolition day.  It's ready for a two new sections of roof.  That is the only thing I will not do myself.  With a little luck and a whole lot of materials this may actually work.  She wasn't very old or in bad shape but I'm never one to leave well enough alone.  And the the goal is a wood cabin interior.  Knotty pine will be the primary look and will be the paneling for all the walls and the primary wood for the cabinets.  I recently removed and repaired the onan 5000 Emerald 2 genset, it needed a new fuel pump, fuel line, fuel filter, starter and a whole lots of cleaning and a basic tuneup. I also replaced the Atwood hot water heater, due to the prior owner not winterizing it and blowing it up!  Also changed the furnace circuit board with a new dinosaur board and fixed the large, three way, two door, Norcold refrigator, had to flip it a couple of times and give the heating element a good cleaning.  The Chevy 454 runs excellent and received a good tuneup, the walls are good and the chassis is solid, so I figured there was a good base for a new labor of love.  I'll attach photos as the project progresses.  Wish me luck!

There's an album named TC3465 mods under the gallery.  There are some pics downloaded there.  I'll keep everyone updated as the project progresses.

Check out the latest pics under the my gallery….Most of the demo is complete except removing the carpet for the new hardwood floor.  It's just a shell of an RV.  The roof is being sent out to be repaired next week. Then I will begin on the floors and walls and ceiling.  All getting a nice new hardwood remodel.
