Anyone who loves a dog is aces with me.great video .
True test of character
Just got me an old scotty can't figure out the year but trying to restore it, good potential, got doing research and came across your videos, great content and explaining, make it sound easy so wish me luck 😊
Lots of measurements and photos. Good luck on your build
I am dealing with this exact situation right now. I should have watched this video before I put my walls up. You live and you learn. I have a 72' Scotty for more practice once I learn what to do on my 70' Scotty. Great videos! You explain things so well and show novice rebuilders like me how to do things right. Kudos for your great videos. Keep them coming!!!! Have a wonderful day.
I appreciate your kind words. Your second one will be much easier. Good luck!
Thanks for the information 👍
No problem. Hope it helped
Rob, why not screw on a 2x2 on the bottom of the plywood sides before installing them? That way it would hold it to the exact height to screw it in without struggling to hold it? I also wonder they didn’t do that from the factory and just leave it? I know there’s probably 100 reasons but I can’t understand why? Thanks
That is a good guide if your frame is square.
Use masking or painters tape to get the offset consistent run it along the inside of the line layed out
Genius!!!
Thank you man
Thanks for watching.
The templet and determining the correct interior size is a good idea. Since I have a background in auto parts and detailing. I'd like to point out the importance of choosing the correct undercoat. Rubberized undercoats tend to harden and crack over time. Thus letting moisture into the cracks. Not a good choice for under body applications. Unless your like some and are worrying about carefully inspecting things constantly. Get Real! How many of us actually do it.
I've seen fifty year old trailers with undercoating that look great. I have also seen fifty year old trails with bare wood that look great. I appreciate your input and will look into it.
What would you recommend instead of rubberized undercoating?
@@autumn4191 One choice would be using chip guard. Like used on the rocker panels and lower parts of the body.
Really enjoying your camper resto videos Rob. I'm here at home in bed recovering from double pneumonia and it's given me something to do and learn about as I hope to do this one day. A question I have is would it have been better to undercoat the wood subfloor and metal frame separately from one another? It seems that you couldn't completely spray the top of the metal frame that was in contact with the bottom of the wood subfloor above it. Cheers mate!
I usually spray the top of the frame before I add the floor.
@@RobTheRebuilder I thought you might have but had to ask. You're in a great location to find these old campers. I'm from the Adirondacks of upstate NY and they wouldn't survive the long winters here.
do you have a table under the plywood? A bunch of sawhorses? We will have to do something similar.
Usually sawhorses with 2x4's over them.
I have a 1976 Toyota Chinook I want to know what kind of phone should I put inside to insulate
I do not know
@@RobTheRebuilder what type of foam would you use
Hi!! Are you selling the measurements template or uploaded it somewhere? Thanks!!!
I just made it for future reference
I just got a 64 Forester for $400 and after removing interior walls and seeing the water damage quickly realized I'm probably way in over my head 😭 I've been watching a lot of ur videos and have learned a lot. My question is if my walls are framed with insulation and skin am I able to replace with just plywood walls like in this video?
I have done that before. It is possible.
I have the opportunity to purchase a 1963 Scotty. It's a full frame up restoration. Wondering if I bought it.....Could I hire you to rebuild it?
Of course
Would u put a heater & ac combo?
It would be ok. I usually install an AC unit and just a small space heater.
What is the spray u use for the under side?
Undercoating that you can buy at hardware store or auto parts store.
what grade of plywood did you use for the side walls, specifically for the interior side of the plywood, A or B?
1/2" sanded plywood is all it is called at HD
@@RobTheRebuilder Thanks Rob. In looking at the HD website, they have a B/C sanded plywood, which I assume means B on one side and C on the other. They also have a 'cabinet grade panel', which from the questions section appears to be A/B. Sounds like you probably used B on the inside, which is what I was thinking to use. I plan to buy mine at Menards, and luckily they are more straightforward in marking their plywood than HD is!
@@charleskahle5757 The ones I used were about $60 per sheet
@@RobTheRebuilder Right now the 1/2" 4x8 sanded plywood panels at HD are $58 for B grade. Thanks for the prompt replies!
@@charleskahle5757 0000-454-532 $58.05
What thickness plywood is best when rebuilding Scotty walls? And does it need to be treated plywood?
Don't use treated plywood. I use 1/2" plywood for walls.
@@RobTheRebuilder How about for the floors? Is 1/2“ okay for that also?
Can you please help me with determining the gauge the sheet aluminum is on the roof?
@@vincesaia-ku4pk If you call Macs Aluminum in Bristow Oklahoma they could tell you. I just don't know what came from the factory.
@whiteAfrikkkanNun I have never seen sheathing recommended for any vintage camper rebuild. Most say it is good for houses but not campers?
