Starting an overhaul on '77 Holiday Rambler Wide World

Ok..here are a ton of pics for anyone interested. This is a 17' 1977 Holiday Rambler Wide World addition that I picked up for $190. It has clean title, new license plate and tabs. Yes, it's a project and I've heard people say that I should run from it and have nothing to do with it but I'm looking forward to the challenge. I have plenty of time on my hands. Ha ha

I'm not looking to make it a showroom piece and I'll use what I can. Elbow grease I have so I'll do what I can. There is some corner rot and a bit of ceiling rot at those corners. The bathroom floor is horrible and needs to be redone but the rest of the floor seems solid. Walls seem pretty good but I'm just guessing at this point until I start opening things up.

The last few days I've found that the propane on the stove and oven works...the fridge works via electric. (not sure about propane yet) The windows are in great shape...that's what really attracted me to this project. I picturing sitting in the forward "lounging area" (ha ha....I fancied that up!) and having a nearly 180 degree view. One bad thing that I discovered is that the hot water heater leaks...bad!

Some ways that I've already figured out I can save money is I know I can paint the horrible faux wood grained cabinets and bench dinette area. (several different ways to do this I have found via google) I've also decided that I will use corrugate steel as a decorating item (very hip, cheap and easy to use) and I can cover areas of the wood grain without even painting over the wood grain.

At any rate...on to the pics! WARNING - they are not pretty. :)
