This will allow a full inspection of the floor; once any ills are fixed in the structure, then I can peacefully continue with the rest.

3) Obviously, repair the floor in the rear and any othe areas (and frame, etc)

4) Put bath back in (wish I could find some of that magic tub spray in black). At this point, once running gear is good enough, scarily it'll be ready to go to matches. One army cot as furniture, and away we go.

You already know what I'm going to say. Been said here many times. If this is a keeper, and it sounds like it is as the size is good, safe your self alot of time and heartache. Replace the floor and get all the old fiberglass insulation off the frame. It is faster to replace the whole thing then piece by piece by "Oh, I might as well do this section to" piece. It isn't that hard and you may find some great metal and some really bad cross members you have to fix so it doesn't come apart when you hit that railroad track you didn't see at 60.. Took me three times longer because of reluctance and having to learn as I go. Trailers aren't suppose to smell. You'll have a healthy sound unit and with your woodworking skills it will be famous. There are cautions, read the full monty threads.
