Good Morning my new friends, about a month ago I was able to pick up my first Toyota Camper! We had been looking for a long time and the timing lined up right for us to get this 1990 Americana. It looked like it had been re-modeled well with some nice addition like solar and a deiseal furnace but some other area where more just patch up, band aid jobs like the over cab section. I didn't take any before pictures but when we got it there was a piece of plastic siding covering up the front window. Once I got it home and took off the siding I was able to start seeing the water damage and mold, not a nightmare amount but enough to warrant a remodel. After looking around the forums and watching every youtube video that came up when I searched "Toyota RV Remodel" I found out that there was not a lot of info on this particular model. I am about half way through rebuilding the over cab floor and walls and wanted to start posting the progress in hopes that it may help someone in the same situation as I am. One question I have is this, I was going to just copy what was originally installed for the side walls (two layers of plywood with a thin layer of veneer) but I was thinking about changing it and doing two layer of insulation board with a layer of veneer. Any thoughts?

Well no leaks so far from your repair, that's good to hear! After reading your reply I was on the fence as to wither or not I was going to try and replace it or just deal with it like it is. After the rain we had yesterday I found three leaks in the front window and three more in the two side windows which means I am just going to replace/reseal all three of them. Do you have any pictures you wouldn't mind sharing of the finished product? Once I get the windows sealed up, I am planning on putting new wood and carpet in the whole over cab area so seeing how you did it might give me some ideas about how to tackle it all.

New to the club around here. Just got my first Americana and I am starting to take out some of the over cab. I believe there was previously a leak from the window and am going to have to replace a good deal of the plywood and paneling. How did your window replacement go for the plexiglass front window? Mine looks the same and if it is as simple as cutting some plexiglass and putting the window seals in it can do that!
