keeping water out! job number 1

Posted 12-07-2008 at 04:45 PM by dreadydreame

We have been busy everyday doing something with the trailer. The bathroom floor is gone, and I brushed the frame with a wire brush while we waited to get the por 15. It will be coated on the first nice day.

We were told to get the camper water tight before making any repairs so- we ordered window glazing and bulb seal from VTS, along with some vulkem 635 and parbond.
Here is me doing the bulb seal. In order to replace the top side Anthony had to unscrew hardware and hyperextend...

started restoration

We have started our restoration (we are doing our best).So far we have removed the bathroom floor. The back 2 ft section. We removed the household toilet that the PO installed.

our new baby

My husband and I and the kids bought a 65 overlander off ebay. There were a few bumps in the road when we got worried about the seller being a scam. But all worked out well and the guy was a very nice man. We drove 5 hours west to pick her up and the drive home was an adventure. We stopped at out of doors mart and they were very very helpful. We did have lights on the way home but we did not have working breaks. The tires were God knows how old and cracked like crazy but they were tube tires and...
