Avion truck campers - Hundreds of photos
Without going into too much painful detail, we had a mishap several week-ends ago. While working with sand bag crews on the Mississippi River, the truck and camper fell into the flood waters as a road...

Thanks. The cabover definitely has leaks at the perimeter. Waiting on sealants/window seals from VTS then will seal all seams and fix window seals. Yeah, I can't locate a seam so it is a little odd. I will be calling Cayo, once the weather turns, I have to take advantage of the sunshine while we have it.
We have discovered that whenever one of the PO's repaired the floor they (or Cayo) cut the bustle in half and repaired it with a strip of aluminum and rivets. That will allow us to remove the bustle on the bathroom side. It is more of a job to remove bustle on wardrobe side as there is a frame mounted generator box directly under the bustle which will be a real pain to remove.
It looks as though the BW tank/piping has been replaced and there is no evidence of leaks underneath (an unexpected bonus), I have good inspection access now after removing the aluminum panel under the bustle. The floor is mostly in really good shape, but we can remove bustle that side and bring the new floor piece over to the 2x6 stringer for strength.
As this area is prone to wetness/leaks, what has been found to be the most useful material? I was thinking epoxied exterior plywood, but I will have to screw into the side of it in a few places and I'm unsure how well plywood is suited to that.
My experience with woodwork is somewhat limited.
thanks again, I'm back out to the sunshine.
