Hi All
Iam glad to find this site. Got a 1978 Lindy 28 ft Dodge.Had it for 2yrs but didn't go anywhere cause it needed tlc a lot of tlc, Had a water leak at the back window so took it out and found a lot of bad wood .The window was not the problem,it was the roof and the side molding. Took out all the wood from the back, pealed off the skin and found lots of rotten wood. It looks like the roof needs something done to it. When the back was taken off the roof developed several other leaks way up front. So to replace the roof is it better to use one sheet of aluminum or try to save the one that is on now? This rv has 66000 mi on it . The engine and trans run great. My carpentry skills are measure 5 times cut once and still get it wrong. Wood putty is my friend.I am retired but limited on funds. The rv we liked cost $68000. It's either fix this one or stay home. Sorry if I talk a lot but I need some advice. Thanks for any help
