New Walls

It took a couple of hours to clean up the beams on the roof. 

Beams are covered in glue and pieces of the original roof plywood.

The set up on the roof to be able sand the roof beams. The weird shape board is used to sit/kneel on when sanding.

Clean beams!

Then we focused on the kitchen walls. We had rebuilt the kitchen wall studs after tearing out the rotted original ones.

The most outer stud was removed and so were the beams for the kitchen window.

A top section of the roof in the kitchen was also removed due to water damage.

A new beam for the driver side of the trailer and the kitchen roof was installed.

We finished up by installing the other vertical beam and the studs for the kitchen window.

 We started to install the actual kitchen walls after the studs were put in place.

The kitchen wall is just 1/8" luan, as are all the walls in the RV.

We squirted Liquid Nails on the kitchen beams and placed the luan on it.

Clamps held the luan against the beams overnight to ensure it was glued tightly.

A section of the inside of the kitchen cabinet needed new luan. 

We routed the windows out in the kitchen after the luan was glued.

The dinette wall also had to get replaced because when the dinette was removed it left a lot of staple holes in the wall.

Staple holes from removing the dinette.

Some chunks of the walls had to be removed because the dinette was stapled into wall from the outside and the staples were buried deep into the wall. One of the holes is where there used to be a compartment.

New luan glued onto the beams.

Last of the walls that had to be replaced was in the passenger side back corner of the kitchen - where the fridge sits.

Routing out a bit more of the kitchen wall on the driver side so that the new luan can be glued to an actual stud.

The area that needs new wall.

New luan.

We glued the luan to the studs but because they were such narrow studs, we also stapled it.

Now we have new walls on the back half of the trailer!
