I am starting work on my 1981 17 Foot
Bigfoot, and before I go too far, I want to know how to fix the squeak in the floor. It had carpet, which I took out and will use it for a template for new vinyl, so wanted to know if there are cross members under the floor where I could screw the sub floor more securly to stop the squeaks. The squeak is at the rear, close to the couch area. I am not gutting the interior, as it seems to be in good shape, but will
paint it, using Bullseye 123 primer, probably 3 coats, then use a top coat of Hi Performance 2000 interior/exterior semi gloss
paint from General
Paint. I plan on attaching the replacement 1/8 inch thick birch panelling with Lepage No More Nails Foam Board Adhesive, and for caulking will use Lepage Paintable Urethane Caulking as there is 1 inch syrofoam on the walls. Any advice on what I am planning to do would be greatly appreciated. The
windows will be taken out and butyl cauling put in place. There is a crack in a window, so will take it to the local glass shop and have them put new glass in it. A question also, regards the screening. I want to replace all the screens, but cannot figure out how to do it. The bathroom 9 inch by 9 inch vent
leaks, so will replace that and also do some body work. So many questions to ask, but have been reading all the wonderful info on this site and looking forward to start work on my
Bigfoot. I have put it under a car shelter, have heat in it, so will be comfortable to work on during our rainy winter months. Thanks, Jim
