I finished replacing 8 feet of interior wall for de-lamination due to a water leak. Had a 3 foot circle of de-lamination, ended up replacing two full wall panels and insulation and repairing the rust to the metal wall studs.Panels are impossible to find so I used ceiling panels for a close match. I repaired the leak before starting on the wall.Thank God I have the tools and the skills necessary for the job. No blood or swearing several partial days and numerous trips to town. I also installed an LED TV and finished the trim work from last years laminate floor installation. The DW had surgery to replace the joint on her big toe,and can't get in the motor home, a perfect time to get some work done.
How did you do the tv? I have a PA and the tv is on the dog house? - Mule_SkinnerExplorerI finished replacing 8 feet of interior wall for de-lamination due to a water leak.

- her_IExplorerReinstalled the Sharp micro wave. If I could have found one the same size and shape I would have replaced it instead of repairing.

- jffhlbrt1ExplorerToday we had the RV washed and waxed. We had the roof cleaned and treated as well. We went to Camping World and bought new wiper blades, and generator oil and filter.
- drifter24535ExplorerI replaced a 12" by 24" piece of flooring under the front slide.The slid roller fell thru the hole in the floor, dropping the rear corner. When are they going to make RV manufacturers stop using oatmeal and glue for flooring?? Ive only had this Georgie Boy for two years and it hasnt gotten wet on my watch. Must have been before my time, guess the dealer forgot to tell me.
