Rebuilding and installing the rotten truck camper side skirt. New fiberglass and pvc framing to replace the old rotten pine wood and luan.
Stronger and lightweight.
Rebuilding the side skirt using the rot resistant PVC framing and fiberglass composite siding. Royal Building Products PVC frame is 100% rot, mold and mildew resistant. Easy to work with regular woodworking tools, saws, routers, drills etc. This is how to repair rotten wood in a camper, RV.
Tearing into the truck camper to repair some aluminum frame damage caused by years of road stress. The slide out supports have broken away from the main frame so it’s time to dig in and look at what needs to be done to repair and Rebuild the RV to make it stronger. We will be remodeling the entire interior (and possibly the exterior) of the truck camper while we have it apart.

Great job!! I'm going to be tearing my truck camper apart too and will be replacing the roof and some side water damaged stuff. Also it was in a salt water flood so all the electronics and metal will need to be replaced. Also the power jacks. I took those apart and will rebuild them. I already re-wound the armature in one jack motor and hope I don't have to do the rest!!

When all is well and done, are you planning on a total repaint job? Looking good.

Not a repaint. Possibly a graphics wrap at some point but not high on the priority list.

@covetthecamper2289 4 года назад
Ha! No... no sponsors. I’m not that guy. It may be my business logo mixed in with graphics/stripes to match my truck. (Our new Mobile RV Repair business & living in the camper while we travel would allow for a % tax write-off of the truck, camper repairs, improvements, fuel, insurance, parks, etc) That’s a couple of years out.

Nice work! As a retired 45 year Machinist and a renovator of three water damaged toy hauler travel trailers, I respect your quality of work! Now I have a 2001 Fleetwood Elkhorn non slide out truck cabover camper that I just bought and even though it has fiberglass outside walls and aluminum frame, the upper cabover window has flex seal white 2" tape all around the seal and I'm hopeful that when I peel that tape off I won't find water damage! If I do, I'll fix it just like the 3 other trailer's, #1, 20 foot roof replacement, #2. toy hauler #3, complete floor replacement by jacking the body up 3" all new floor joists & marine plywood, #3 only one front wall and 10SQFT of flooring. But I am getting tired! Wish me luck on this Elkhorn, I hope I don't need it!

I just did a truck camper rebuild due to a front cabover water leak... Not a fun project but looks like you are doing an incredible job.
@covetthecamper2289
@covetthecamper2289 4 года назад
Thanks. Yeah, the cab-over area seems to be a problem on truck campers and class C rv’s. I’ll need to re-do my cabover at some point.

Nice job. I wanted to tell you I seen a truck camper fixed with diamond plate and it looked almost factory built. Maybe give you some ideas in some areas.
@covetthecamper2289
@covetthecamper2289 4 года назад
I considered diamond plate at one point. (Specifically around the lower box) The added weight and cost over fiberglass composite panels was huge. I’m actually saving weight with the composite materials. I’m happy with the way things turned out.

You’ve got skillz! My lower wood is rotten too and the screws are not holding the wood to the aluminum frame. Did you replace the lower wood or just go over it with composite?
@muunokhoi
@muunokhoi 3 года назад
Well done, and totally useful to me. But I'm having trouble finding the earlier segments -- especially, I hope you did one on the intitial disassembly of the skirt? I'm at that stage now.
