I had patched a few (3) holes in the roof. It seems that the previous owners. Had used the roof rack for some special tie down, Horses, who knows. The result of misusing those rails caused the front brace on both sides to pull out and over the years you can guess what happened. All the rain seeped into the screw holes and in time rotted the entire frame of the roof. I don't know how extensive the rot is. I don't think it will be too bad. But one never knows. I tried filling the screw holes with wood shavings to give the screws something to hold the bracket down, but no such luck.It looks like the wall and ceiling in the back half of the RV will have to be torn out.
I bought a weather alert radio at Wal*Mart and cut the 110 volt converter off and attached a cigarette lighter plug. I didn't want to mess with another inverter when I didn't have to. It didn't make any sense to take 12 volts DC, convert it to 110 volts AC and then invert it back to 12 volts DC, just to use a radio. Anyway the radio works fine. Since I live in my RV full time and live in the Wal*Mart parking lot, where I work, I felt it necessary to keep track of the elements.
I have so much to do to this RV, I was going to spend about $8,000 dollars changing some things but have cut nearly $3,000 from that figure. I am going to build a new bed, in place of the sofa. At my age nearly 72, I just don't like coming out of the crow's nest front ways. I'm going to build a desk and redo the kitchen area. Anyway that it for now. I hope ya'll have a nice Thanksgiving.
