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...

I had some help lol. I officially have the cab over bed DONE!!! and the big window. I pulled it out, cleaned off the silicone and old butyl tape, used Alcohol to clean due to not having paint thinner. I then taped off the window and repainted both the outside and inside to protect it from rusting in the event that moisture does get in. I'm fairly certain that I've got it sealed tight, but I will be putting some caulk around the outside to be safe. I'm not really caring about appearances at this time. Just making sure its leak proof.
Monday night I hooked up my very first electrical outlet (my dads an electrician and informed me I did it correctly!)and ran the wiring to the other side. I even drilled some holes in the 2x2s to run the wire through so my walls would be flat. I've got 2 outlets planned for the cab over as I'm going to put a corner shelf on the one side to hold a 9in fan for my kiddo. Yesterday (Tuesday) I spent the entire evening working on getting the wall pieces figured out for the curve on the cab over. They are in NO way perfect but I got it figured out so tonight I will be cutting the second one (opposite side) and I will be pulling the two side windows out so that I can put the wall up. Once the windows are cleaned up and painted (Thursday afternoon) I will cut the wall holes and put the walls back in place and put in the windows. At that point the cab over will be officially done (minus 1 section of the wall where the running lights are).
I have done the entire cab over myself with absolutely no help. This weekend I plan to fill the holes from the tanks (under the original bathroom) and finish getting the shelf/wall removed so that I can get the rest of the carpet ripped up and start building the queen bed in the back of the camper. I will post the pictures of the cab over later tonight.
