    The rebuild of a 1994 Northern Lite 8-4

    Yeah approximately 6". It's the trail boss model which is a bit higher too, so I have to add some blocks under the jacks :D I removed the front tie down points. So I could probably get away with 4"... I also considered going with the "decked" system for added storage.

    The rebuild of a 1994 Northern Lite 8-4

    I glued in a window, cleaned it a bit... Ive been pretty busy. If i had to do it again, i wouldnt have removed the foam. Part of the shell is sagging where the damage occured.

    The rebuild of a 1994 Northern Lite 8-4

    Truck is 6.5 feet, yes. The weight of this one stock was 440kg. Mine is stripped so I must have taken out a good 300-400lbs. The inside layout is almost the same as the 6-10 model. I forget what year it was but they changed the model and it became the newer style 8ft model and it became...

    The rebuild of a 1994 Northern Lite 8-4

    I will pull all windows, technically with the walls down to the fiberglass they are all loose and no longer bonded. I went back and forth about how to seal them and now I plan on resealing with 3m automotive windshield adhesive. 3M 08693 Auto Glass Urethane Windshield Adhesive Cartridge - 10.5...

    The rebuild of a 1994 Northern Lite 8-4

    @NOPEC Man you read my mind on a lot of your suggestions.. I bought some bondo resin for the smaller holes and I'll lay that up with cloth. For the bigger holes and the roof repair I think I will do the west marine 105/205 system. I starting ripping out the rigid foam today. So much of it was...

    The rebuild of a 1994 Northern Lite 8-4

    The rebuild of a 1994 Northern Lite 8-4

    The smell in this camper is a combination of ammonia, mold, dead dog and something else vile. After looking at my wish list and seeing the roof, I'm deciding to do a full gut down to the fiberglass shell. I'd rather attach the patches to the fiberglass from both sides anyways. My end goal here...

    The rebuild of a 1994 Northern Lite 8-4

    Alright, progress report... the roof was covered in a couple years of dirt and moss, so the first order of business is to clean it up. Under the dirt, the cracks start to appear... Also the previous fiberglass repair seems to be .. questionable. The previous owner is using polyester resin. I...

    The rebuild of a 1994 Northern Lite 8-4

    Initial thoughts about the interior. Seeing as the camper has significant water damage, It was accidented and the sleeping cab has mold and all the panels are rotten. 90% pf the cabinets are also rotten. Everything is coming out down to the structure. Even the foam. The foam is extremely heavy...
