I woke up one morning to a ad for a free
Fiber stream. Since the ad was 5 days old already I thought it was a long shot but I called anyway. Talked to a nice lady named Pam who's husband had recently passed away. She had a few people flake out and at least one gentleman who had dashed her hopes of finding a good home for it by telling her it was not salvageable. I own a 1985
Fiber Stream and know the ins and outs of them having lived 6 months out of the year in it on movie and television sets over the years. She said she didn't care what we did with it, she just didn't want to see it go to waste. So me and the wife threw in the truck 2 spares, some tools, and a jack and drove 5 hrs. to see it. It was out in her field and was fairly rough but I checked it out, changed the
tires, got the brake
lights to work and wired the hitch down and off we went. Took us 6 1/2 hours to get it home but we made it. I worked on it for weeks, starting from the top down. PO had added a sky
light which was leaking and then used everything from roofing tar to roof patch to stop the leak. 3 days later I had the roof cleaned, new vent and reinforcement in, AC unit checked, new seal and new shroud and every thing resealed. Then inside I installed new back shelf, new inside roof, reinforced benches and made new tops for them, tore out carpet and checked floor, laid new subfloor and flooring. New
paint in bathroom and re caulked. Outside resealed all
windows, removed old
awning. cleaned and shined her up. Underneath wire brushed every bit of metal I could reach, treated with rust inhibitor, and undercoating.
