Anything that I can help with I will be glad too.
I gotta say OldTrucker63 inspired me to start a project of my own... So today I bought a brand new used Motorhome as a rebuild project. It is a 1978 Dodge 27' Monaco with the 440 CID engine. The coach is water tight but was dinged/punctured in the cabover, and then bondoed in a very ugly patch. The motor runs, but leaks oil. The transmission works, but leaks fluid. The batteries are shot. The cover/door over the propane cylinder compartment is missing. And maybe worst of all it has the ugliest 70's style shag carpet on the floors and walls I have ever seen. So I figure it will take ma about a year or two to restore her... I am looking forward to all of the fun!!!

OldTrucker,
I do not have the time, nor the gumption to take on what you did.
I do look in on your post every day and see what you have done.
I am soo impressed and live through you vicariously.
It is a small world and I hope to run across you one day and take a personal look at your handywork.
Good Job!
If we do ever cross paths, I will offer you a sip of Tennessee's finest export as we walk around and you point out all your pride and joy!

This newbie just wanted to say THANK YOU to oldtrucker63 for this thread and especially the photos. I'm looking at doing something similar - though less extensive - for the first time. I've nearly rebuilt a stick-built house myself, but this will be my first time taking apart an RV (1977 Dodge Sportsman / AMF Skamper).
Seeing your journey has given me encouragement that it *can* be done...and that I'm not crazy for doing so.
