Hi, I am in the process of repairing the damage brought about by leaks that are seemingly common to many of the 'stick & tin' type Toyota RV's Assuming the images I have uploaded are visible, you'll find the notes that I made pertaining to the current portion of the coach that I am focusing on, the rear and passenger side walls, including the rearward doorway (if I understand correctly mine is the "300" layout) leading to the rear kitchenette. My primary question: is there a trick to removing the side and rear upper cabinets without destroying them? The side cabinet has 3 screws visible on the forward side panel, with two visible on the rear side panel (is there a third obscured by the cupboard above where the fridge goes?) I also want to express my appreciation for the time taken by everyone who has made this amazing resource what it is. Linda, not sure if you remember me, but my name is Nick. I have communicated with you a few times via the site's FB page(?). My username was Nick Dolphin, but when I tried recovering my password, the email link was not functioning. Not a big deal, at that point I hadn't contributed much of any value to this wonderful site. Thanks in advance! Nick

Hi All- As I'm starting to get my 1987 Escaper geared up for a big summer I noticed that the bathroom door is hanging up on the ceiling a little bit. It appears that there's a slight bow/ sag to it. I haven't seen any evidence of a real leak, so I think it's akin to a sagging headliner in a car. My primary question; what's generally between the ceiling wall paper and the roof if I were to try to sort out this minor annoyance? The rig is primarily stock, so I don't anticipate it's anything different than the manufacturer intended. If I have my druthers I'll be back with some update and travel photos in the coming months. Thanks everyone. -Matt

Hi, my fiancé and I are fixing up a 1983 Toyota Dolphin that has water damage in a section of the ceiling. Re-sealing the outside is easy, but we don’t know where to start when it comes to tearing down the damaged ceiling and replacing it. Can anybody give me some instructions on how to do it ourselves?

Hello all; We have just begun a total redo of our 1990 Odyssey with hopes to hit the road full time next summer. We have gutted the interior, except the range and refrigerator, and are now working on replacing some wood rot in the overhead cab cone area. We have fiberglass sides and a rubber roof sandwich, rubber-luan-styrofoam-interior ceiling panel. What type of glue is best to use to adhere the luan to styrofoam to ceiling panel? Thanks to all who respond to the first of what will be gazillion questions. So happy to find this forum and all the great information.
