  1. Here are the details of the toyo: 90 v6 dolphin 90k miles, tires are in good shape.
  2. Amen, I agree, if I go that route I am going to stay away from wood products for the walls. I found a fiberglass sandwich board producer in zeeland, mi. which is about 30 miles from me. I called them and they can make 4x8 panels. I can't recall the name right now, but I will dig it up later. check this out: http://caravanersforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17786&hilit=sandwich+panel+caravan&sid=01897f5352559ca0f856d832b1856c8e and this is the one that inspired me to take a 2nd look: http://thesupercamper.blogspot.com/2006/09/super-camper-inspiration-concept-and.html
  3. JD, That is very generous of you, I am near GR airport and the camper is in Dorr. Pls pm me back your contact info, I want see it first hand to build confidence, I have NO experience in repairing any laminated wood etc. Wow, you are going all out, I like that. I am glad you are doing it right. 3 months of weekends in just framing and skinning! I am not sure if I can commit to that many hours, I am single dad of 2 very high maint little girls. 9k for total rebuild. But I want an empty shell, just like a straight truck box. Won't any of the prefabbed boxes fit the width and the length and then mate it to the cab with bellows or something?
  4. Linda, It is within driving distance, so I can gut out the inside and fix any fiberglass issues and then sanitize the inside and use it? How is the shell bolted to the frame/floor? does the fiberglass shell include the floor? I took some pic of the underside and I saw some large on arms extending out of the frame.
  5. Few year back I bought this from an aged liar who lied about the state of the camper. Anyway, I went over to change the oil yesterday. I took pics and here is the inventory of the rot: 1. cab over 2. rear bathroom wall. 3. above dinette window 4. corner above stove 5. floor soft in front of bath door. the inside is not moldy or does not smell back, I cut the vinyl cover for the cabover from the inside and found delamination. I really want to rebuilt the ENTIRE structure instead of trying to fix the rot. Here are my questions 1. Anyone gone down this path, what am I looking at in terms of time? 2. What should make the walls out of ? 3. I am going to reuse most of the cabinets and the bathroom, which I need the most. Can I reuse the potty? 4. Anyone make a box that will fit the rear space? This will save me a lot of time. 5. I am near rv capital in indiana, can any of the RV shops build me a new shell? 6. the edge banding is where all the FAILURE happened, pls educate me on sealing the edges. Thanks, Shibs
  6. I am planning to travel with my wife, 2 children and my mother, and looking for one with a sofa and dinette, one child is car seat and other in booster. Questions: 1. Seat belts, all seats behind the driver have seat belts? 2. where can I put the infant with the car seat? 3. on hot days, does the cab a/c cool enough for the occupants behind the driver to be comfortable? 4. if not, if the unit has a generator, can I run the roof a/c while driving? Thanks,
  7. Good Morning, I looking to buy a 90 to 92 Winnie warrior, This floor plan has the sofa bed the dinette, Can the dinette can be made into a bed? if yes, how? Also, how many house batteries max in the rv? where are they? were air bags an option? Thanks...
