A year ago I bought a MH to flip. It needed a total cabover rebuild, otherwise it was in great condition. My son who has been an RV tech for over 20 years, planned on this being a 3 weekend project. Here we are a couple of days over a year, into this 3 weekend project and it's still not finished. The cabover has been totally rebuilt, a new entertainment center (in the cabover), has been installed, with a new large flat screen TV and a new surround sound DVD player.
I don't believe the outside of the cabover is "completely" sealed yet. The front clearance lights are wired and sitting up there but I don't believe they're secured yet. The generator wasn't running properly so he removed it to work on it. After a new carburetor, spark plug, air and fuel filters, it is now running fine, but unless he did it over the weekend it's not back in yet. The frig was not cooling, but with a new circuit board and whatever else he had to replace, that's running fine now.
It has definitely been a long process and my fault for not pushing him more. I lost track of how many other cabovers and all kinds of other repairs and rebuilds he has done in his "spare time" after working at his regular RV repair job, over the past year. I can't seem to get through to him that he stands to make a lot more money when this RV is finished and sold than he has made, or will make, on his other jobs. :h
