Mocoondo As the OP is in 5k and is not flush, And again I agree with you as far as doing it right. But I fear she may have many more problems than the roof. And not enough money to deal with any of them, correctly
My question is this, if they were to peal the roof back, replace the worst of it, add in some cripples, re- glue and maybe sink in some screws on the sidewalls. dicor and etrnabond the heck out of it. Do you think they could get some years out of it.
I am not bad with wood, but doing a cab over would scare me.
As I see it they are in deep trouble eithier way , just wondering if they could get a few years out of it . With my idea
What do you think?
I agree with what you are saying, but keep in mind, the reason she is currently digging into this area is because of a repair that was previously half-a$$ed.
Where do you draw the line on a $5,000 coach? I can't answer that. Obviously it makes no sense to have the upper bunk professionally repaired to the tune of $5,000. At the end of the day, you still have a $5,000.
That said, if they are going to keep the unit and expect to preserve any sort of usefulness out of their "investment", it behooves them to perform the repairs in a proper, workmanlike manner, which means not covering up underlying damage and rot. There is a very good chance that they will not like what they see under the roof and that may weigh heavily on whether they choose to do anything at all with it.
