Attempting to modify bedroom of old Dutchmen

Hi all! I have a 25 foot 93 Dutchman Royal that has some pre existing water damage in the rear bedroom. My child is afraid to sleep in there as it just looks scary.

I was wondering (as a single mom) has anyone used a contractor to rip walls out of one room and re-post with hopefully 2x4's and panel (with a thicker wall) we have permanent site and want strength to the support.

We may add twin bunk-beds (so I can sleep in the same room and calm my baby's fear) but as of right now are unable to throw tons of cash into it.

If you have gutted one room via handyman/contractor what did it run you cash wise and how long did it take?

May add bunk beds one at six inches off floor (so I can clean under and one 42 inches above it so we still have cabinet access and neither of us crack our skulls open.

Thanks in advance and please feel free to not have a filter! Iam looking for all opinions <3

    Hey GDE, the Komfort rebuild is impressive! We are considering buying a small class C and doing similar. I would love to see the detail in the pics but they did not render well on google docs and there's no way to zoom in. Could you email that or give a link to the pics?

    I tried to PM but you have PMs blocked...


    Used to get a lot of PMs on this subject and had too many problems keeping some sort of reliable online storage I found it was easier to forget about posting my rebuild and decided block the PMs.

    We needed an alternate email address so we signed up for Gmail. I noticed Gmail included online storage which was hot linkable. So, for that reason I copied the PDF to the Google drive.. It works but I could not find anyway to fix their "reader".

    You can save a copy to your PC from the google doc menu which basically is the same thing as you downloading the PDF (Chosose FILE then at the bottom of the list is DOWNLOAD).

    Once it has down loaded you then can open with your own Adobe Reader.

    I have had a few priority shifts the last few years and one of the victims of that was modding and upgrading my TT rebuild along with any documentation. It is 99.9% complete but I have other things to work on that are at the top of my list :M
