Thanks to having the best brother EVER, roughly a month ago I was finally able to get myself an RV. Before buying her, I was told that her generator needed a new fuel pump and that she had some previous water damage, but that they had resealed the roof so it wouldn’t be a continuing problem. Aside from that, she wasn’t supposed to have any issues. It appears that their idea of resealing the roof involved silicone caulk, and some seal tape around the edges. ***FYI: pic 6 is a PERFECT example of what NOT to do. If you want to do a ‘quick patch’ [which will NOT hold long term or prevent worsening damage from existing water seepage, and appears to be what they tried to do] there should be AT LEAST 2-3 more rows of tape, with the edges overlapping by at least 1/3 the width of the tape.*** While at first I thought it was just the bedroom that would need a full gut and rebuild, I’m starting to notice mold all around the border of the ceiling throughout the RV. I’ve started the gut & rebuild from the bedroom in the back with plans to work forward one room portion at a time, rebuilding any rotted/rotting roof and structural portions along the way as funds become available. On top of that, I have to replace the busted water heater, find and repair the propane leak, find and fix the clog & leak in the outgoing plumbing system [might just fk around and replace it all], replace the steps… While I’m at it I figure I may as well replace my sink & faucet with something of a usable depth, rather than the 6ish” deep split basin that could only possibly be convenient for bathing VERY small animals. There’s a TON of work to be done and skills to be gained, but you damnwell bet I’m gonna get it done! If anyone has the means and desire to assist in the financial burdens associated with these repairs, check out the linktree in my profile [and hit my dm’s for a ‘thank you’]!! 🥰😘 #rvlife #rvhomerepair #rvhomerenovation #doitmydamnself #diy #doitrightordontdoitatall #chickswithtattos #chickswithpowertools #pitbull #pitbullsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CqVuwPzuFUA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
