We got some nice weather today, and since I am waiting for some glue to dry on a work project I decided to pull down the walls, although the structure was compromised with rot and decay I didn't have very many problems
Got the lower skin off, if you notice some of the interior skin was removed, if you are planning to do this type of restoration do not take off the interior paneling until the walls are on the ground. This will keep the frame from racking and falling apart. Thanks Tyler for the advice on your blog. I stopped removing it once I read your blog.
The above and below picture are of the sleeping loft. There is not a lot of info on the web about how these were built, Shasta used 5/8" plywood nailed to the sidewall framing on the inside (lower Picture) then once you get to the overhang they use 1x2's nailed to the bottom of the ply and then screwed to bottom of the sidewall framing(upper Picture)
One frame member is bent and damaged.
Walls striped, the rear skin has to removed when the floor is removed due to the p.o. cutting the rear bumper off of the supports and rewelded it on top of the supports.
Wheel well is missing its inner liner, but there mounting tabs are so rusted they need to be replaced anyways.
