I'm looking to add generator- likely small Honda or Yamaha. Also looking to ditch the Dometic fridge for basic apartment fridge, then cut the LPG tank out and add batteries and solar. I only plan to make beach runs and small 3 day camp trips.
This a bad idea?

Admit did you glue the 1x2 to the fiberglass bunk bottom? Or is there wood sheet, the 1x2, then another 1/4" wood sheet?

How are the remodeled areas holding up?

What did you use to paint the cabinet doors? Did you sand them?
ALso, did you run new larger exhaust?

Hi, i am restoring my 84 dolphin and i am taking out old carper. is there a way to get the carpet from underneath the lower sofa wall and where the water tank storage panel is? thanks
I removed the couch/bed framing, to get that nasty carpet out with more ease. I tried cutting to the edge and it was a BISCUIT. I've not pulled the walls for the fridge and sink, yet. But I don't like the process of cutting the edge. These pics are the closest shots, but I think you'll get the idea. If you want more pics, I'll snap more tonight.

Hi Linda,
I'm overwhelmed with how I want to rebuild my overhead walls and bed. Do you have top 5 threads you recommend or particular member that is great go-to for this?

I used a hand-held jig-saw. If you cut the sides with the curves in front and install them first, the front paneling will cover those curved ends a bit so it need not be 100% perfect. Since I had no pattern to work with, I cut cardboard to slide in there (for the side panels) and fit first. I then used the cardboard as a pattern and traced it on to the new plywood to cut. You want to use a fine blade if cutting plywood with a thin finish veneer on it to keep that veneer from getting peeled and torn when sawing.
Hey Zero,
Do you have any pics of how you framed the sides and bed? Did you use 3/4" for any of it?

Add a coat of Elastomeric coating for a more permanent fix. a couple of gallons will do the entire roof with two coats...https://www.menards.com/main/building-materials/roofing-soffits-gutters/roof-coating/sealbest-white-elastomeric-roof-coating-9-gal/1531811/p-1444444994270-c-5822.htm?tid=-5407131749131224559&ipos=5
WME, this seems like a good price on elastomeric coating;
DO you think the Menard's coatings are different than the higher priced brands?

"This thing will $20 us into poverty..." that has been my progression for 4 weeks, when I got my Toy, LOL.
WME - 2.5" exhaust sounds like a good thing. Thats what I ran on my Datsun 510 in high school. what kind of muffler did you put on it?

What happens when you reply to this thread and (touch)click the attach clip? Tomorrow ill look at it with my wife's iphone. Then guide yiu from there.
-
It looks like you did a larger 3/4" for the right wall, correct? Did you end up doing the whole window area?
-
3 holes matched, thats a nice find. I'll start looking for similar. What is the center console - Stock?

Do you know if bilstein 4600's from 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD, would be a good fit?

Rust spots on the cab, right? Not the coach.
Yes-cab. Should be same ivory, correct?

Awesome. Got lots of spots(rust) to touch up.

Thanks Wemit. Ill definitely use 3/4" on sides. For bed, ill need to research how to do those layers. The original bed seemed like it was 1/4" ply, then foam (in frame) then another 1/4" ply. Foam sandwich.
Do you jave any pics or videos of how you did it?

Trying multiple threads here:
I just got 87 Dolphin. It has major wood rot in the overhead. I'm looking for advice on an idea. I thought i could replace the side walls with 3/4" wood instead of the foam/wood paneling. Does anyone thins this would be to heavy for the overhead? Also Plan on using 3/4" wood sheet for the bed over cab.

Thanks all,
This is too much reason to keep LPG. Ill have to look into how to make it work. Later I'll add the 300watts of solar and marine batteries to run fridge.
