  1. Ok...been lurking here since this past July when I bought this 84' RBR Mini Cruiser. I got it pretty cheap, had a lot of water damage and was missing a lot of stuff. Never owned an RV before. I bought it so that I can go on a fun road trip with my dog, Lulu. So far it has been a labor of love, but also a labor of hate...burning...seething HATE. But at least it's starting to look like an RV again. Almost wrapped up with the outside, here's some pictures of the progress so far: Look at that nasty ceiling this was after I tore a layer of whiteboard out that was held up with 1x2 screwed to the walls/cabinets IMG_20170707_110338 by jettaphile, on Flickr More kuckiness IMG_20170707_110305 by jettaphile, on Flickr Missing lots of stuff: IMG_20170707_110343 by jettaphile, on Flickr Tore that OOOOO open like a can of sardines IMG_20170723_122000 by jettaphile, on Flickr Making roof frame with 1x4's IMG_20170729_130902 by jettaphile, on Flickr IMG_20170729_130906 by jettaphile, on Flickr Used this Protecto wrap stuff as a gasket on top of the aluminum frame IMG_20170729_174257 by jettaphile, on Flickr Halfway gutted IMG_20170804_161422 by jettaphile, on Flickr The shittiest pile of shitty old shit I've ever shat: IMG_20170805_110652 by jettaphile, on Flickr 1/4" birch for the roof IMG_20170806_180645 by jettaphile, on Flickr Floor was drilled, injected with epoxy, and dowels hammered in/cut off IMG_20170808_200449 by jettaphile, on Flickr A rarely seen view of a Toyhome!

IMG_20170815_173943 by jettaphile, on Flickr Laminate flooring installed IMG_20170816_182752 by jettaphile, on Flickr Frame for the couch, and new 6gal water heater and 12gal water tank IMG_20170817_185259 by jettaphile, on Flickr Tent city IMG_20170818_130726 by jettaphile, on Flickr I think this is from Wendy's or some other fast food restaurant. Insanely heavy IMG_20170818_130738 by jettaphile, on Flickr First piece of filon laminated!

I used a universal gasket for a truck tail gate as the seal IMG_20170826_150721 by jettaphile, on Flickr Panels got the edges coated with fiberglass epoxy resin IMG_20170827_193250 by jettaphile, on Flickr IMG_20170829_113622 by jettaphile, on Flickr Roof! With no holes in it mwahahaha IMG_20170831_173210 by jettaphile, on Flickr Front panels were framed with poplar to be a little more sturdy IMG_20170831_131244 by jettaphile, on Flickr More laminating IMG_20170904_155042 by jettaphile, on Flickr Old panels: IMG_20170915_111300 by jettaphile, on Flickr Yay progress IMG_20170905_123015 by jettaphile, on Flickr Insulated: IMG_20170905_164425 by jettaphile, on Flickr Cedar planking, which I had to install twice...because the first time I forgot to run wires for the clearance lights IMG_20170907_200223 by jettaphile, on Flickr More insulation IMG_20170908_115049 by jettaphile, on Flickr IMG_20170908_133146 by jettaphile, on Flickr IMG_20170908_190441 by jettaphile, on Flickr Looking good: IMG_20170913_182511 by jettaphile, on Flickr Rear panels installed, moved the window up 4 inches IMG_20170915_144232 by jettaphile, on Flickr I laminated a 1x4 to the filon, then it was butted up against the roof before I cut everything to size IMG_20170915_144244 by jettaphile, on Flickr IMG_20170915_144255 by jettaphile, on Flickr I drilled 5 holes in it for the clearance lights and use the holes to sandwich some boards together while laminating IMG_20170915_182319 by jettaphile, on Flickr Had to add a seam here, the filon wouldn't be able to make that angle and stay put IMG_20170916_181858 by jettaphile, on Flickr The rear almost finished. It took me 3 days to grind all the layers of sealant off the aluminum corner trim and clean it up/paint it black The bottom piece of the rear is a 1x5 piece of clear board, that stuff made of pvc. The filon hangs over the bottom panel which is held to the clear board with double sided eternabond, then regular 2" eternabond in a "U" shape around the bottom of it, and then a piece of aluminum trim with butyl tape. The top piece overhangs the lower piece and the seam is filled with marine 5200 IMG_20170923_173857 by jettaphile, on Flickr Edges on the inside have a seam of marine 5200 and the holes where the wiring for the lights is filled with 5200 through hull adhesive IMG_20170917_191100 by jettaphile, on Flickr Everything fits...barely IMG_20170825_170803 by jettaphile, on Flickr Used up some of the leftover flooring, and put a piece of carpet in there as well, to keep the floor in decent shape while under construction IMG_20170926_182731 by jettaphile, on Flickr New water heater, added an access panel for the propane tank, and made a little panel with water inlets, and vent for the battery box IMG_20170926_182804 by jettaphile, on Flickr Need to make a box around the propane tank so that it's sealed off from the rest of the interior, it barely fits out the door! IMG_20170926_182824 by jettaphile, on Flickr Testing out some rope lights, I'll probably have them under the cabinets IMG_20170926_185616 by jettaphile, on Flickr And those last few pictures are how it sits as of a few hours ago...will add more as progress continues. I'll be painting the outside with this oil based tractor paint I got (similar to rustoleum paint jobs, that you can roll on) I painted around the windows and stuff before installing them with the same paint but in spray form, so this way I don't have to mask anything when I roll the paint on. Tons more pictures on my Flickr page if anyone is interested: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jettaphile/
