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 Ticki,
That explains the cabover floor. I will look for the video, that is a job for later in the fall when it is no longer hot in the camper. Were there different sizes of cabover beds? Mine is about 53" to the rail.
I can see the aluminum access panel, and the bw drain is to the rear of the generator box, just out of the photo.
I'm thinking flashing would be good. There was an angle iron stiffener that went from one side of the rear bustle indent (for the stairs) to the other. I am not replacing the stairs, but am considering replacing that angle iron for added support. The van has a steel truck frame mounted bumper that i can mount stairs to, or perhaps have a freestanding set that goes over the bumper.
I'm sure the rot came from the door where the bottom corner frames were 'repaired' with silcone, also probably from the old tv antenna mounts that were also 'repaired'. All around the rest of the bathroom the floor is solid, no rot so no falling toilets, although I imagine the stairs would have come down one day soon.
I did discover today that the tiedown located under the fridge is solid, bonus!
