@Fulltimin: I hope all is well with you and the project makes good progress. I very much enjoyed the daily updates. Even though I may not agree with all the things you do and how you do them, I have a lot of respect for all the work, effort and money you put into the project. And more than anything I wish that you can finish that thing and get on the road! Bonus if I get to see pictures of the finished motorhome and your adventures.
On my first truck camper, back in 2009, I had to repair some significant water damage. I learned a lot during that 2-month project. Mainly, that I enjoy camping vastly more than working on my camper.
You took on a huge project, and I wish you success!
