Works been slow, our rent went up, wife is a full time student, and she’s been begging me to get it useable so we can go on little get a ways to the beach or to the lake. I know there’s only one way to do it right, but I can’t afford all the stuff to do it the way I would want. That being said, i’m not really so concerned with water tight, because I’m not planning on camping in the rain persay. I mainly just want my roof panel to be attached and somewhat sealed.
For what it’s worth, my friend built his own truck camper, 6 years ago, he did OSB, Thompson water seal, and roll on bed linered the entire thing, and his brother has been literally living in that camper for the past two years, no leaks. He said the a/c vent dripped so he pulled it up, lined the hole with butyl tape put it back in and went over it with lap sealent and no leaks.
I’m thinking I’m going to just reattach the panel and seal it with the duct sealant and save the effort and money so I can start gathering supplies to get it all handled after summer.
