Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?

If you look close you can see 3 different layers of roofing plywood, all 1/4" thick. (actual is about .200 each). They are not fully flush, and that is what I needed to fix.

We finally had a nice day of weather, while I was free, so I pulled back the extra TPO to get to the end of the roof plywood.

Made a little bit of a mess today. Sawdust mess, that is....

I found out that the insulation I used, and Plasti Dip do not mix....

These were just 2 test pieces, and both of them had 1 light coat applied, and then a heavier second coat over top of that after it dried some.











Yeah, not a good solution.

Place the pan in place, place 4" wide strip of FRP over lip of pan and up wall 3" mounted so that it is removable then permanent install FRP over rest of wall overlapping the 4" strip below. That will shed any water. If there is a concern about water possible getting behind the FRP waterproof the wall first, then install the pan and FRP over the waterproofed wall.

To remove the pan first remove the 4" wide strip of FRP and that will free the pan for removal.

Thanks.

I think you are overthinking the shower pan. What you want is access under the shower pan. As long as you have that you can secure the pan and put the walls in place permanently (leave wall access as well to that plumbing) and leak free.

Probably right about over thinking things. Been known to happen.

Thanks.

Seems like an easy decision to me.

Life is short, enjoy the ride. Accept 99% perfection, finish it up and enjoy it!

We'd all like to see you enjoy it too! :B

That sort of sums it up. My design frustrations are more from a "how will this function" state of mind, I guess.

It will never be perfect, stressed or not.

Thanks.
