Complete remodel of my Class C 1983 Honey
I am a new motorhome owner! I decided to buy a class C (anything that was drivable I was ok with while looking) and for my birthday I purchased my very first RV. I absolutely love it. The problem? Th...

Alright well my new baby is at the Ford dealership getting a tune up and figuring out what is wrong with the breaks. Hopefully it doesn't cost to much lol.
I didn't take any pics before I started demo on the cab over but I have the pics the guy sent me before I bought her. It doesn't show the fake ceiling but I'll include the pics I got of the cab over as we removed it.
Those are what is kinda looked like. The only difference was the fake ceiling pained a purple color.
This is the cab over bed after removing the mattress when my daughter mentioned the sheet (previous owners left the majority of stuff in the camper) was wet as she was removing it.
This picture doesn't really show it but the plywood was literally bent about 3 to 4 inches down.
Didn't think anything of the black towel being over the window. Just figured they was blocking the light. But actually they were hiding the fact the window was missing most of the screws.
I also didn't notice due to the black towel that the idiots spray painted the window black. I got it half cleaned off before moving on to another task due to the sun (I got s sunburn working on her last weekend).
And here is where the fun began!
It was so bad my friend who was helping me litterally squeezed the water out of the instillation.
I decided to prove my feeling of a "fake" ceiling and I was right! Here is where we took off both ceilings and part of the cab over wall.
Monday I removed the swivel chairs and got my first injury lol. First thing I need to buy are some new steps!
Unfortunately the top black step is bent and while carrying things out my foot slipped. My back (near the shoulders) hit the top landing, my middle back hit the first step and my butt hit the second. I proceeded to slide down all three on my back. Today (3 days later) I'm not feeling as bad as I was. Tho I am still waiting to hear back from the doc on whether or not I've got a stress fracture on my rib. I will more than likely end up with many more injuries lol. Now im just waiting (not so) patiently for the breaks to be fixed so I can get to work on more demo!
Hopefully I can update again this weekend! Thanks for all your help! I'm super excited to get more work done.
