"New" Vintage TT
Hi guys, just bought a 1968 Holiday Vacationer to restore. I have a Keystone Passport 2590BH for our normal family camping, but this is mine to play with and make my own. It is pretty rough ...

Did a little work on the camper today, not much but I got in a couple hours. I got windows out of one side and started taking off some of the other trim pieces.
Doesn’t seem like the best build design. There is simply a piece of aluminum that fits between the AL under the rear window and the part that goes down to the bottom. There is a lip somewhat "protecting" the seam, but mostly relying on caulk. I will come up with something different as I build it back. No wonder, the wood was so rotted in the back.
Took these pieces off. The side seams are much better than the one under the rear window, the top piece overlaps the bottom and that seam is hidden under these trim pieces.
This is what's left of what I am assuming 45 years ago was wood, as I pulled the piece (pictured above) out some, the chips all fell out. There was no wood left, just mud.
Pretty much all I got done today, I may take a vacation day sometime in the next couple weeks and just take that day to get the skin off.
