Sorry, it's taken so long to respong, busy with work.
Wow, not the greatest news on the leveling system I could've heard. I guess I'll wait until I have a professional take a look and see how extensive how bad everything is.
Yeah, the roof is my main project right now. There is a decent sag under both a/c units, so I'm planning on spanning 3/4" decking plywood across the width of the roof, to end aluminum end channels running along the two sides. Then I'll screw new 1/4" plywood veneer to the ceiling inside straight through to the decking plywood, sandwiching the thermopanel. Then EPDM roofing on top of the plywood and the rest of roof. Hopefully the weight of the a/c units will be distributed more evenly across plywood to prevent future sagging. I was hoping to it this weekend, but rain is in the forecast. But plenty to do inside.
I've decided the extra port it is a city water inlet, There is no connection from it to the fresh water tank...I'm turning the back sleeping are from the two twin beds to a full size bed, so I have to move the fresh water tank inboard about 16" to have a small path around the bed. Almost removed the old 3-way fridge; that was a major pain, the side mounts well all that held it in place, and subfloor had long given way, and disintegrated when I tried to remove. But, now I have access to a lot of the electrical, which I plan on updating over the next few months.
