Looks like you have a hefty project going on there. Might as well clean and inspect, repair as needed and paint the frame. Then there is that subfloor. And how about a gray water tank? Might as well re-plumb the trailer. And on, and on. It is a slippery slope indeed.

All of the above is planned.
I finally got re-energized after 5 years to complete the project. I have another Airforums member that volunteered to help me lift the shell later this month. After that we will evaluate the frame and make the decision to either rework or go with a complete new frame.
I will post pics tomorrow of the work I've completed over the past 2 days. Belly and banana are completely off and all insulation removed. Dirty job is behind me.
