Ok, and just to address some of the posts... yes this is a huge project and plenty of people probably think I'm nuts :) That's alright with me. I'm enjoying it, I know it'll be safer than the day it was new when I'm done, it'll have exactly what we need and I'll know every square inch of the coach, inside and out.
In case some people are wondering (I would be), I'll try to keep a running tally of the cost (not including time which would make this project absurdly non cost-effective but that's not the purpose anyway)... so right now I'm at $4,700 total investment. That'll at least double I'm sure before I'm finished... but where can you find a motorhome with brand new exterior/interior and a complete mechanical overhaul for less than $10k?
