Well I should be installing the sheeting for the floor this week.. I have done two coats of spar varnish and will be apply the third coat after they are installed...I will be using 3/4 inch plywood on top of bubble foil insulation..I will be leaving the back sheet off for any plumbing that needs to be installed. after removing all the delaminated plywood the trailer smells a lot better ...I have also removed the bottom row of panels and insulation.. I am going to restore her as close to vintage...
