Looks like we're having a teachable moment. There are things I didnt know about the cabover: screws coming from inside the walls to secure wood directly beneath the top of the cabover.
The fact that the wood directly below the walls is sawn at an angle to fit below the edges of the wall. The wood appears to be 1 1/4"
We removed all of the screws from the bottom of the cabover and carefully packed them away. I noted that they were all SS.
So, we are trying to make sense out of all this. I plan to put a support below the cabover that will hold the aluminum skin taut. It will probably have large timbers running horizontal and 3/4" plywood sheet. (We have to crawl out onto the cabover to make the repairs). We will try to replicate the sandwich with the insulation. Then we have to reattach the sandwich to the walls. The problem is that we have to cut the screws off. We are thinking about using fiberglass to secure L brackets to the wood sandwich to secure from above. Anyone have any ideas?
