The skirts lifted, to see what kind of damage lies beneath. Thankfully, it's not too bad.
Replaced these skirts, but next year, the front end will need to be gone over. We want to camp in it before then, and it's fall now, so stripping off the entire end skin just before snow flies just doesn't make sense for us. Especially since we have no garage area to put her into. She will have to be tarped.
The door area needed to be dealt with as well. These were fixes that improved her immediate camp-ability, & will help prevent further damage.

Our Hydro Flame propane furnace, with the access panel removed.
outside furnace vent & intake, with the cover removed
Inside this little hole was several wasp's nests, and a mud dobber nest ~ urggghhh ~ what a pain to clean out!
We removed the j-rail, scraped off the old butyl tape, washed all the surfaces (j rail & camper skin), straightened out the j rail, & re-butyl-taped it all.
Butyl taping in process. We still need to do the windows, but again, are doing things in manageable, easily finished chunks.
Tapping the re-butyled j rail for a snug fit after screwing it all back on.
Now I just need to finish re-upholstering the cushions & hang the curtains. We'll paint it, too, but may camp in it before painting. We just really want to take it out & enjoy it!
