Re: 2006 Gulfstream Cavalier (i.e. FEMA trailer) Remodel
Thanks barney for the links. The liquid rubber I found said it could be used directly on wood, is this false? Thanks for the uplifting comments about not having a crappy camper. I don't feel like I do, but when reading many threads about FEMA trailers, there were a lot of people who had a negative opinion about these campers and couldn't wait to voice it, just wanted to avoid that drama. But trust me I still got ripped off for what I bought, but it has been and will be even more worth it in the future. I say this mainly, b/c the camper had some leakage issues from the get go that we were told were repaired, and with in the first year both the ac and the heat went out. Anyways, the camper has some pretty severe leaks, at this point I am assuming both wall and roof. And there is a whole lot of mold growing on. So far we have removed the built in furniture, cabinetry, closets and part of the interior walls. We are going to tear apart the inside, clean it out, cover it and in the spring put on a new roof. We are completely redesigning the bathroom and kitchen living area. Then it will be awesome!!1.3KViews0likes0Comments2006 Gulfstream Cavalier (i.e. FEMA trailer) Remodel
Hello Everyone, First off please, please, please do not tell me what a ****py camper I have. I know how badly I got ripped off. But, this is what I have so I will repair it rather than have nothing. So with that out of the way, I have a 2006 Gulfstream Cavalier (i.e. FEMA trailer) and it needs a complete remodel. Currently demolishing the inside, then it will be covered for the winter and as soon as it warms up, the roof is going to be removed and rebuilt, then we will rebuild the inside a piece at a time. My first request is this, does anyone know if the walls inside the camper are partition or load bearing, or how to find out. I really want to expand the bedroom and the bathroom, but not at the expense of caving the roof in. My second request is can someone sum up the pros and cons and steps of redoing a roof with sheet rubber versus liquid rubber. My third request is this, can someone who has redone the gutter system on a fema trailer tell me what you did? BTW, I know that the whole roof is a shabby design including the gutters, just wondering about someone else's success. Thank you very much, Mickeycool4210KViews0likes6Comments
