79 Prowler Rebuild
This is my first post and first ever travel trailer. I picked up this 79 Prowler for a good price and I plan to use the rig for dry camping and hunting. It's in decent shape but has major issues in the bathroom/shower area from leaks around the roof. I have read a lot of the re-build threads and while I feel like I'm in a little over my head with the repairs and or replacement in the back of the camper, I don't think it's an impossible project. I have gotten started scraping the roof and years of patch on top of caulk on top of patch that were applied by the PO. My plan is to re-seal the seams with eternabond and then re-coat the roof. It looks exactly like the roof material in the "Hilton" build thread so I assume it's aluminum. What's the best most durable treatment for the roof once it's cleaned and sealed? Being an RV newb, I don't know what what some of the trim and frame pieces are called so I don't know what to search for. For instance, what is this trim around the edge of the trailer called and do they make a "cap" or cover for it? Can I re-use it or do I need to start with a new piece if I have to separate the exterior panels? What about this window trim? I figure I will patch up the roof and then move to the back interior and see how bad it is.25KViews0likes5Comments
