Really think this over before investing any money in your project.
I always wonder what the point of this kind of after-the-fact "advice" is. If it's your position that the O.P. should just tow the rig to the junkyard and kiss off the investment already made, I think that's ridiculous.
Since you've done this yourself, surely you learned something that may be of use to him in this project- why not pass that knowledge along instead?
Francesca, I thought I did pass on my knowledge. Knowledge from my undertaking such a project years ago. I tried to be as tactful as possible but some things that you want very badly can't be just wished to be.
You did good Hersey. I did the same thing 30 years ago with a sailboat. To the OP age brings wisdom, youth brings enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm is good as long as you have limits on your project, otherwise everything that Hersey said may come to pass. What will happen is the old saying "in for a dime, in for a dollar" feeling. You'll have so much time and money invested that you just can't walk away from it.
The other thing I will add to Hersey's warning is that RV's are meant to make Kodak moments with your loved ones. Can you see that happening during your rebuild? If not, that's the real shame because you will never get that time back.
