My son does RV repair for a living. He sent this picture a few weeks ago of an RV that had severe water leak problems. He got it to what you see in the picture in less than 2 hours. It took 40-50hrs to rebuild and they charged about $8,500.
That looks like our mh. I guess I'd better go and check the barn.

I have a 96 Chevy Tioga Fleetwood Flyer that is getting ready to look exactly like that. I've already reskinned and covered the roof, rebuilt the bedroom, painted and new flooring throughout, now the front bunk is going to require a complete tearout to fix the damage up there. Those type pics help a lot, keep em coming.
Also, I've rebuilt the generator and fixed the exhaust manifolds, I also plan to upgrade the drivers area and possibly re-paint the entire thing.
Why would I do all this on a old 454 gas powered RV that cost $8500 and has 78K miles? Try to find a cheap RV that will pull an 8500 lb enclosed trailer. I literally had no other options, P30 Chassis, 10K towing, cheap. But, I don't have a problem doing most of the work myself. Although I did hire some of it out it's not a blank check to the local RV guy either.
Sometimes we gotta do what we gotta do. Right now it's caulked and taped to hold it together up front awhile longer.
