Oh trust me, there is a lot of self doubt with the rebuild. For heating, we’re probably sticking with propane. We landed a propane generator to replace the rusted out stock generator. He’s researched the solar system to death. Not sure what size system he’s planning, but We are staying away...

Welcome Boosted! Thank you Hellwinger for posting so much info! We’re even more delayed in getting back into the renovation due to....track accidents. Kinda have to rebuild my Ford F100 after LSFest. Can’t wait to finally get the Revcon finished to get it back out on the road. Noticed your...

All of our windows were removed and reinstalled. When the previous owner had it repainted it was done poorly with no prep. So we stripped it down completely for a repaint. We took out reinstalled the front side windows and they leaked after the 1st rain. Crap. Not good to hear that this is a...

Ill PM you

thanks for the solar info! The other half has heavily researched solar and any tips are great. We will be avoiding lead acid batteries too. Even if that means building a smaller battery system initially and adding later. the RV wiring was trashed. Prior owner had to rebuild due to an...

The other half did some internet sleuthing when we 1st bought it and saw the 57.That hasn’t been validated though. We still have to seal...well pretty much everything. Haha. We’ve sealed the vent fans and that’s about it so far. We should probably take stock out in whatever brand we choose...

If there’s a support group, sign us up! This turned into a beast of a project. And it’s slow going. That’s killer that yours is in good shape. I’m jealous of the owners so can use theirs!

never blamed the wood for the leak. And we understand mold can grow anywhere. Plastic is easy to maintain if and when leaks happen and mold occurs. Wood needs to be removed if damaged too badly, as we found when we purchased the Revcon. We don’t intend to leave leaky windows - that would be a...

Made a quick video of our current progress.

we used loctite Power Grab to glue them to the wall and foil tape to secure them to the aluminum studs. we didn’t really get into the weeds with eplastics about the thermal expansion with ABS. We’re using c channel between sheets so they aren’t butted up against one another and it creates a...

we ordered through ePlastics.com. We called and explained what we wanted, the approximate thickness we needed (.187 to accommodate windows) and the lengths we needed. They cut our panels to size and shipped it to us. They even shipped the excess from the panels they cut so we have small cuts to...

When we purchased the Revcon, we were provided with bamboo for the inner walls. We had intentions of using it and even outfitted the back wall and upper walls of the cab with it. Then the upper cab windows leaked. The bamboo wrinkled like a wood-like product would. When we purchased the...

When a week turns into a month and a half... We took a week off work in early November, specifically to finish painting the exterior of the Revcon. We got all 5 RV windows removed at dusk, only to realize that southern Arizona would see the first measurable amount of rain in over 100 days. I...

Aint that the truth. Good luck with the M1010 project!

Arizona had been unseasonably warm and dry. We took time off work, specifically to finish the exterior paint this past week. So we popped out the 5 remaining windows and did some finish sanding. Only to find out that the following day, southern Arizona would see the first measurable rain in...
