the terry's adventure!!!!

Ew! It leaks! Yuck! I am NOT camping in that!

The entire front is wrotted. It looks like there was a leak around the window and some one tried to fix it. The window was not sealed properly, so "dry rot" set in and now we have a mess! Oh I know, let's take it to an RV repair shop, how expensive could it be?

Well, it was 30 hours at $110 per hour. Yikes!!! How much?

We can't afford that, we spent all of our savings buying this leaky thing! What are we going to do?

So, we fixed it. It took two months and $1000. Once you take the metal siding off, it is really not that tough. Take good measurements, and take your time. RV repair shops are really generous with the information if you ask specific information. Like how to get the perfect caulking on the seams without making a mess. Whew! Oh wait, what are we going to do about that impossible to replace blue wallpaper? I know, let's redecorate the whole front bedroom so it won't be that ugly blue! Okay!

Wow, that was..........fun! Yeah fun, and now we are done! So a camping we will go!

Camping in this trailer sure beats tenting. Now we can go camping in winter and not freeze our behinds off! Aren't furnaces the best? Wait, who invited all of the neighborhood kids? And did we grow extra dogs? There is no room in here! Everybody out!!!!!!!!!!

I know, let's sell our trailer and buy a newer one! Yeah! How about one with a slide? Wouldn't that be great? More room for those enormous dogs and all of the campground kids!! Woohoo!!

Dozens of phone calls and several emails later, one couple comes to look at their new trailer. While they are looking, he puts his hand through the back wall! Are you joking me? Barf, barf! So I guess you don't want to buy it? Just kidding. We are so embarrassed! Take it off craigslist right now!

Yeah, another leak! Now the back! F A B U L O U S!!! But who has money for another leak repair? Oh wait, we know how to fix this! We can totally do this--right?

Yes we can. This one took 2 weeks. We took off the back skin, stripped out the 3 pieces of rotted wood. Then we replaced the wall & wallpaper with (the same stuff from the front room) and all of the rotted studs. Thankfully the rot is centrally located on the rear drivers' side. Nice and easy. We replaced the wall, the studs that make up the drivers side corner and all of the insulation. Put the skin back on, seal it up and get it back on the market!

So this is where we are now. Good as new! Help us find this trailer a new home so it won't be lonely or overstuffed with kids & dogs! I swear we have no room for the adults! But a smaller family will fit perfect!!
