When we first bought the motor home, I was dumber than a box of rocks, concerning all things "motor home" wise. Lol.
I am not sure that has changed much. You are a master carpenter and the King of "fix it" but calling this a "rebuild" is far from what's happening here. Yes, there will still be the same number of tires on the ground and the same basic chassis, but nothing, and I am not kidding when I say nothing, about this rebuild will have anything what-so-ever to do with a rebuild of an 83 Pace Arrow.
I am still addicted to this thread but only because it gets farther and farther from what us commoners know as a motorhome. I often show my wife the photo from the post that lists progress and she just shakes her head and asks if this person really has a wife! Shelves along the entire back wall but nowhere to put a cooktop or sink? Are these going to butt up against the shelves? Where's that fridge going again?
Don't get me wrong, I have learned stuff about stuff I will never have any use for over the course of these last 1 million or so posts, but I still hang in there. I feel like I should know a lot more about the daughter that keeps stealing Dad's time away from the forum but I do know too much about PT Cruisers, stains and planers than most anyone should have to learn from somewhere like here.
You really cannot take this thread seriously as the vehicle being built is not like anything anyone else would want to duplicate. Just look at the shelving setup! What? How does that kind of shelving on both sides of the cooking and prep areas allow for real life usage? Shelving on the wall behind the cook top? Behind the sink? (Hopefully he does have a plan for a sink). No roof penetrations? A/C hanging off the side of the coach? The window in the back that's not sentimental? Rounded here, flat there and some cosmetic thing to make it look "not so terribly bad"?
It weird that this thread still fascinates me. What fascinates me is where it started and where it's headed. I don't believe that even fulltimer would have seen the course that this "rebuild" (again, not a rebuild has taken. He/she has kept this tread interesting and I love the new posts (unless they are about the PT Cruiser, the daughter, the lack of new information or the random LOL post). I know he/she believes that he/she "must" post everyday to keep himself/herself activately engaged but I don't see where any harm would be done my simply not posting anything on a day where there was nothing to post.
