Redoing a 31' Sovereign

[LI Pets]

It’s not as bad as it looks; the shell & frame are great condition it is just the one corner, about 30" W X 48L

After following this forum for a few weeks and now doing this retrofit I believe the route of the water damage on all these AS’s is the 2” fiberglass insulation not drying out and rotting the steel when it has a leak.

I’m removing all of the insulation under the floor and any where else I find it, replacing it with the foil bubble R-14 material.

I was looking at the banana skins there in good shape except there is slight perforation at each outrigger frame at the sharpest turn.

I’m not replacing those skins or I’ll never be ready for Thanksgiving.
What I plan on doing is removing the rivets at the bottom edge of the banana skin where it meets the belly pan thereby not disturbing the trim molding and insert etc.
Take out all insulation do the por etc.
I’ll cut 4” x 6” patches and insert them inside the banana skin where the perforations are with some sealer and a few rivets.

There will be no insulation under the floor; I will seal the wood with fiberglass resin.
Inside the whole floor will get fiber glassed.
The whole floor inside will get the foil r-14 under the Pergo.

I’m never doing this job again, this should last forever.

Plenty of rot/rust right there, but when I look a little further the paint on the frame is shiny black. I’ll weld in some 1/8” steel to beef it up do the por 15 thing.
Put new belly skin in rear, about 60x60 area.

I think I can reuse the belly skin in the front.

When I bought this there were no rear beds, so I'm building a short queen cross ways with access from outside thru a luggage door.
I’m saving one of the overhead cabinets for bedding etc.

Bath will stay except new toilet shower head & controls.

All new pex plumbing, removed steel duct work replacing that with 4" flex insulated cost $11.

Besides weight savings it will allow more space under the kitchen & toilet sinks.
The kitchen will be rebuilt as it was same fronts all the tambor is good. A new stove top will replace the original, new Formica top.

The wardrobe doors and frame were removed the upper cabinets will stay; bunk beds will go in that space. I’m trying to to work a design where the upper becomes a seat back when not in use as a bed. Not sure it will layout, but will try a few idea’s

Fridge New and pantry are staying the credenza in front of the fridge will go.
As well as the table and Gaucho thinking about doing a wrap around dinette, or L shape arrangement???

The Univolt works but will go, a new 55amp power center is planned removing the original breaker box.
