New member and my reno's

Hi I'm Tom from Edmonton Alberta. I have a 1984 17' bigfoot guacho model that was all original interior. I had a shitty winter and half the roof delaminated and also the front wall. So I got to work and took it all apart and rebuilt it. I'm sorry I didn't take before pics or pics of the glueing process cause I never think of that stuff. Anyway I used 3m green 30 latex contact cement and PL Premium to glue the foam and panels and also some wood to stiffen up the roof. So far so good as it's been about 2 months. I have started painting everything white and then my own touch of rustic cabin feel. That I do have pics of so here they are. As you can see I'm not finished yet but it's getting close. If any questions feel free to ask.

Very nice, Tom!
What kind of wood panel did you use? Was it pre-stained or did you stain it? Did you use PL adhesive to attach?

Thanks,
Fran

Thanks not bad for a first timer of the fiberglass trailers. I used 4"Cedar panels at 5/16 thick and the stapled the corners down and just construction glue for added grab. I also predrilled and used old timey finishing nails that look like mini railroad spikes for looks.
