Rubber roof, yes replace it, but if you can afford it, then replace it with a single piece aluminum roof. It is easier than it sounds. The hardest part is getting the aluminum up on top of the coach and remembering to put on sunscreen while you are installing it. I always coat my roofs with white roof coating to reflect the suns rays.
You will have build any replacement cabinets, I can show you how to make the doors. Make cabinet bases the same way as the ones you pulled out. Buy an air nailer, titebond 3, and a bunch of clamps. I like 22 or 23 gauge nailers as they don't show, but an 18 will work just fine. You can use paneling or MDF and paint it. Many choices...... Wife and I prefer greys, blacks and reds vs the yellows and greens of many of the older coach styles. So, we remodeled... If you have questions or would like some pix private message me.
Not sure how to private message. This forum is a little different then the one I'm use to.
Thanks I have a buddy that offered to help with the cabinets (he builds custom cabinets for a living) so that's good.
If I do this I am looking at going with a 3/8 plywood b grade for the roof that way it has a smooth side. They are about $17 a sheet at homedepot & going with the 1/4 luan side walls they are about $12 a sheet. I could go with 1/4 on the roof since that's what's on there now but I think the 3/8 plywood could make it stronger.
What do yall think?
