Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?

[fulltimin]

Started to look into some water damage in the kitchen of our 83 Pace Arrow. The more I looked, the more I found. I have some pics of the damage so far. Anyone interested in following a rebuild thread?

[fulltimin]

Getting a little closer. Need a couple of doors to cover things up, as well as keep stuff from falling out!







Here's hoping everyone had a wonderful Christmas weekend with family, friends, or alone if you chose to do so. New Year coming up shortly!

Creativity - It's a good thing.

On a serious note, a can of Krylon Fusion and this thing would look presentable again.

What color would you like?

Not my circus, not my monkeys.

Yup, this is a circus, and I am the monkey! Lol...

How about a nice custom wooden toilet? Joking, of course.

My favorite color of course, Bright Green. Seriously, I would not worry about it until I was almost finished with the build and then consider if it was worth rebuilding or just replace it. If replacing, I would go with a Porcelain Bowl.

Bright green. I think I like it! Lol...

Every time I do some DIY projects around the house, I always like to get as creative as possible. One of my favorite materials is wood. I think it's nice to work with it, you can cut it how you like, and it's pretty durable. Some months ago, I discovered the toggle clamps and changed my life. I randomly found sandfieldengineering.comand saw the products. After some minutes of reading, I understood I needed one. So, I placed an order, and in less than 2 weeks my parcel arrived. Now, I like creating new projects even more.

Not planning on taking that long. I would like to use it long before then.

It seems the OP works harder at finding absurd uses of wood than working toward completion. It gets more and more bizarre as the thread gets longer and longer in tooth. I'm still hooked but I can't for the life of me figure out why!

I didn't work at this at all. I was getting ready to measure for a piece of plywood for that wall, and it occurred to me that I could use that for storage.

Not going to be a huge amount, but every little bit helps.

I use all the hollow spaces in my tires to store air.... counting the spare, I have 700 lbs. stored away in case a need arises. 🙂

Nothing like a great sense of humor. Thanks!

I used two bread boxes turned upside down on the tiny head above the door and the loo, with rv overhead springs, wife used them for everything that she needed, finding small spaces in an rv is a chalenge, I found other spaces behind the speakers in the cabin, under the couch, the pilot and copilot seats and the "shower/tub" for that space I had to cut tbe side and instal a door outside, that is where all the potable water conectors, hoses, preshure regulator, etc. recided.

As you go along you will come up with more nooks and cranies to use.

There are places all over an rv that can be utilized as storage. Unfortunately, we tend to look for "large" spaces, but enough of small spaces will make a "large" one collectively.
