My names Al.

Hi. Ive Knowingly bought a waterdamaged American RV, with the intention of fully refurbing it. Im currently at the stage where Ive entirely removed the aluminium roof and all the rotten timber and insulation, also i have completely gutted the interior. Im looking for a forum where I can ask technical questions about a variety of things from Glues to heating etc.. Can anyone advise me if this site is a good place for these subjects. Thanks.

Hi Al.
Welcome to the Fun. There are certainly loads on here who can give advice and perhaps some expertise although many may be away in their vans at this time of year. Be patient, someone will help if you ask the right questions. Good luck with the project. Meanwhile, trawl through the threads, the questions may have been asked and answered already.
Pete

Building or as in your case re-building is one of the most enjoyable tasks I can think of. Taking on a full blown RV with its problems indicates that you already have some experience in tackling such a mammoth task. There is , as I am sure you know, a Haynes Manual which includes contacts for various materials and indicates a wide selection of processes that you will encounter. I have met and looked over several DIY RV's which often ended up being kitted out with domestic (heavy) appliances. The better ones stuck it out with sophisticated fittings that were appropriate for Motorhome use and completed with trim to match. I have built two on a smaller scale than you but a long time ago; I loved the sense of achievement. Good Luck! Alan
