Ok, I need to give Westend credit for drawing me to this forum - his detailed rebuild post is giving me some great tips and some inspiration...
Other things worth mentioning on this project. Why do it? I don't see what I want in a 5th wheel so I might as well build it. I'm a welder/fabricator and pretty handy with any kind of tools. The frame in this thing looks pretty well built to me - probably better than the new ones. All of the parts work - large dual fuel fridge, air cond, furnace, water heater, water pump, electrical, etc. (I'm actually using the air and lights as I do the work). The roof looks to be an easy one to seal up - it's one long piece of aluminum front to back, side to side. The only seams are the very edges where it meets the siding.
