Hey Guys! Just wanted to give everyone an update on the 70 Overlander. We finally got all the lights to work on the exterior other than the light over the door after finding a few shorts and various other little things. I have replaced all the exterior running lights with LEDS and replaced the bulbs in the brake, tail and backup lights. I have grinded and resealed and painted the tongue. We have removed the sink, burners and all cabinets back to the oven and bed area. I have removed the floor back to the door along with the lower wall back to that point also. My buddy is working on refurbishing the furance and he said it should work like brand new when completed. We are going to start on replacing the floor in the front 1/3 of the Overlander this weekend. As much as I hate to say it, I am thinking about removing everyting on the interior including the rear bathroom just to insure the soundness of the unit. I have not seen any floor rot even in the bathroom until the rear hatch is opened and and boom, the rear flooring that extends past the bathroom to the battery box is rotten but its completely solid in the bathroom. My biggest concern is that the rear endcap will come apart in pieces. Well lets just say it is brittle enough to break under any instances. My dilema is how to replace that end cap I can get a new bath unit, toliet and sink with no problem but my big concern is the skin for the walls, I am not familar if they sell panels of the skin anywhere or not? Any advice? Should I be this worried about the end cap or is it just me being irrational? haha, I think I am starting to get consumed with this and I love it.
