1969 Avion C11 Newbie
Hi all! My family and I recently bought a 1969 C11. So excited!! But I'm gonna need help and Garry from Alaska suggested this forum to me.
We've lovingly named our new camper "The Steamgoat" or just "The Goat" for short since we bought her in Steamboat, CO. She's in pretty darn good structural condition. Just a few tweaks here and there. Propane system is all good. Furnace, stove work. I'm having a buddy rewire a few of the interior lights and the tail lights for my truck (2002 Duramax). The refrigerator isn't working. It's the original Domestic. I got some help and will be working on that. I'm so excited to get going on my new project. Best of all NO LEAKS! She just survived a Steamboat winter with hundreds of inches of snow without a drop of moisture getting in. :)
My first thing will be the bathroom. It's all there. In good, original condition. It was painted pink!! UGH!! At least part of it was. The stool and lower half. And the only crack in the entire interior is in the bathroom above the window. It luckily doesn't leak. Floor is solid and shows no signs of rot at least from below. I haven't removed the shower pan, etc.
SO...how to repair the crack. Epoxy? Bondo? Also, I'm considering going over the entire bathroom, floor the ceiling in epoxy paint to give it a fresh facelift and get rid of the awful pink paint, but on the other hand I hate to ruin the original-ness of it. Will the epoxy stick to the vinyl? Thoughts? Advice?
I'm going to go back through the posts and pics. Thanks for letting me join!
