Westend - by moving the kitchen I'll actually be shortening the drain line for the sink by a good amount. I will have to reconfigure the vent for the blackwater tank - it's the one on the right in the first pic from the last post above. I got in there Sunday afternoon to look for leaks (not sure if we made national news, but our town got 7.5" of rain in 3 hours Sunday morning and we had a lot of flooding near us). I figured that rain would be a good test. Sure enough, the whole front seam leaked, a couple of the windows were damp underneath, and both of the vent stacks leaked.
I'm assuming the best approach is to pull all the windows completely out, clean, and reinstall with new sealant. The PO simply smearing clear silicone one over the outside to attempt to fix leaks...
When repairing this framework from the inside without removing the aluminum siding - what is the best way to re-attach the siding to the new framework? Is one of the new construction adhesives like PL the way to go? Would this introduce expansion problems?
Oh, and I'm not sure on re-inforcing the floor yet in the toy hauler area because I'm not sure what's under it for support. If feels very solid, so I'm thinking it's sitting against frame - but not sure yet. I'm actually thinking of doing a layer of 5/4 deckboards or something over the existing plywood. One of my hobbies is going to antique engine shows, and that's one of the things I'm wanting to haul back there. Still up for debate...
I plan to retain the one-piece aluminum roof. It's dented up, but intact. If it were galvanized tin it would be a different story, but the aluminum should be fine.
