Wow, I can't believe it's been almost 7 years since I started this thread. Although I haven't done the complete tear down/rebuild yet, I did do some major renovation in 2018. I basically gutted half of the interior by removing the rear bunk area and the bathroom and then rebuilt/reconfigured it a little bit.
I need to fix some rot in the front corners, but that will probably happen next year. Some time in the next month or two I will be replacing the axles, I lost a bearing on a trip and it chewed up the end of the spindle pretty badly. Unfortunately a direct replacement axle is no longer available (3" drop spindle), so I have to replace both axles and brakes (ouch!).
I still do plan on tearing it down to the frame, but that's been pushed off for at least 5 or more years. The plus side is that I have had a lot longer to think about how I want to use the trailer in the future and I have probably gone through dozens of different design ideas and finally came up with something that my wife and I are both very happy with.
Gutting sleeping area and bathroom.
Had to fix a little rot in the corner.
Closing the walls back up.
Checking the bathroom wall framing.
Putting new flooring down.
Bathroom walls, tub franibg and vanity getting installed
New tub/shower surround and vanity installed. I replaced the vent chase to give a little more storage.
New bunk arrangement, a bunk on each side with a raised transverse bunk along the back wall that can be folded up when not needed.
New upper cabinet on each side with a shelf between them. Bunks also double as seating.
A queen size sleeping area can be made by placing a support between the two bottom bunks.
A new barn style sliding door for the bathroom.
Peel and stick tiles to spruce up the kitchen.
