If you ever think about selling your popup I'd like to be first in line. I'll know your popup will be better than new off the showroom floor. I work with a guy that used to live in Elkhart,IN which is where most RVs are made he told me some real horror stories of stuff being put out of the factory. Main point I remember is you never wanted to buy a RV that was put together on a Friday.
Sounds good. My in-laws brought a brand new rockwood hw296 a few years ago (subsequently sold it), but it had a leak/hole in the water holding tank straight off the lot.
Your channel is so great man! No one els on TH-cam dose as thurl of a job as you. Me and my wife recently bought a 1998 viking popup I'm the hopes of making it something amazing. Your video will help us do just that! Thank you for all your hard work we appreciate it!👍
My storage area is completely gone. Gonna tackle it next month. One thing I’m going to try and use is red guard or aqua. Defense. It is a roll and paint on membrane used to waterproof custom tile bath and showers. It can be used over plywood, Sheetrock , fiberboard . Makes a complete waterproof shield . Should work great.
Isn't it nice to have a wife that is able to entirely able to fit inside small spaces? She is a huge help in a lot with what you do and you guys make a good team! Too bad Mother's day is past because she deserves a Juki! Don't go cheap and not get her the table that goes along with it! You won't believe how much nicer that would be then what she already has.
we just got our first 2004 flagstaff forest river pop up camper love your videos have learned alot and look forward to the next video best guide on the internet about learning about pop ups thanks for all your knowledge your my go to when I walked thru getting it ready to camp
I had the same thing on my old camper I replaced the entire insides . The rubber around the lid was missing chunks when we bought it so I knew it needed work. I went to a auto recycling place (junk yard ) I bought a trunk rubber that goes around the body of the trunk and used that for the rubber seal. It worked perfectly
I am blown away with each vid that you produce. Thanks for the tip of using JB Weld wood restore, I was unaware of the product, (old dog- new trick). We always find useful information in every vid produced, by we I mean Wife, and myself. Wife would smack me if I watched without her. Larger access panel door would allow me to store our 4 solar panels w/ cables in a padded rack. Thank you for the inspiration, and information that each vid gives us. " Great creativity backed with self confidence produces great results." See you out there.
@@sickofthebs93 your fun is just begining. Watch out where the two halves of the roof meet. The insulation between the halves is 30 years old and you'll need to seal it or it will leak in the rain.
omg. that was great. i just discovered i have some water damage too. i'm not fixing it , i'm selling the camper. i took 1,000 off the asking price. that should cover time and materials to repair. great job. my problem is trying to fix the crack on the covers on the cover . thats how the water got in.
Great video showing the water damage repair. We have a 2009 Jayco 1206 which has a very similar front storage box with access door as this one, actually it's identical just not as tall. Had it out twice this year and both times in the rain and I noticed a bit of moister just inside the access door of the box after our last trip. No water damage that I can see on the surface, but now after watching I want to double check underneath the flooring. Wondering if what caused this damage is happening to mine. I like the new access door that was put in, might think about doing that on mine.
I think you’re going to be happy with adding those triangles in the corners of your rough opening. The will do a lot to keep that opening square. The triangle is a really strong shape. Did you glue them in as well?
How is the truck bed liner holding up? This video is great, thanks! We are tearing ours completely out, it’s all water damaged. I’d like to line the entire new box we build with truck bed liner
Nice restoration of that storage box, I have a very similar 2010 Jayco 1006 with the front storage box. Had a leak in the exact same area but mine was coming in from the screws holding in the piano hinge on the lid of the storage box. Caught it pretty quick but got water in the storage area and inside the camper along the side up till the door. had to cut out the linoleum so it could dry. There is no gasket material behind the hinge, I think they just put sealant on the screws. I plan on taking the lid off and putting a strip of butyl tape behind it and rescrewing it back in. For now I ran a strip of white duct tape across the hinge area. Just keep an eye on that. I'd hate to see you go through all this work to miss a spot.
For future ref. Don't ever Cut metal at a straight 90 degree angle and leave it, Vibration will propagate a crack there in most cases, . Always Round off your corners. apologies if you did that. I think i would have cut the front section out and replaced it, using the cutout as a templet. But good job never the less.
Good to know. Like I said in the video, wish I would have rounded the corners out to match the new door anyways, which would have saved some work - lol.
It seems like that all of those pop-ups that have that front storage box they all right there I have a 2000 Chyanne and it was just mangled with the rot from water at least yours is aluminum mine was plastic so the whole front cap was bad I have cracked I have to cancel I have to try to find parts for it I’m learning a lot thanks again for the videos thanks
Agreed, I'm sure that's why manufacturers either got rid of them all togethrt or made them standalone plastic boxes independent from the main box of the pop up.
Did you have to cut the linoleum? Any concerns with cutting that away from the single piece of the rest of the floor? would that open it up for water getting under the rest of the floor. same problem on my 2016 Coachmen Clipper 108ST Sport
Yeah, I cut away the linoleum. If water is getting on the area where the linoleum was, there are water proofing issues elsewhere so I wouldn't worry about cutting it away.
Did you ever find out where it was leaking? Mine is about like yours. My braces are rotten a little more in the corner I believe. I think mine is leaking from the top hinge somewhere. I was just curious if you had to remove your top area to repair the leak?
I’m going to try to renovate my pop up camper but I couldn’t help and notice a small part of the roof is water damaged… the majority of the roof is perfectly fine but I think it’s because of where our camper was stored. How would I fix that ?
@@ItsPoppin thank you, I was just watching more of your videos haha I feel more educated when it comes to these campers. Can’t wait to finish, I have a StarCraft and you motivated me to fix it up and customize it(:
@@ItsPoppin THE CORNER PIRCES YOU ADDED TO FILL IN AROUND TO NEW DOOR . I NEED TO REBUILD THE FRONT STORAGE BOX ON MY 1995 COLEMAN AND JUST TRYING TO FIND THE RIGHT PAINT.

Thank you for posting this! I have 1997 Viking Saga 1906st with similar issues so this will help me alot!
I have a 95 Viking and just getting it upgraded with 21rst century equipment had the largest impact. Good luck!
@@aerospacecadet9781 thank you! Enjoy your upgrade!
Picking up a 95 Jayco 1207 next week. Can't wait to get on the road

It looks amazing

Right on, that might be a good use for dicor self leveling lap sealant on top of the screws. I double check that area of the lid.

Agreed, I'm sure that's why manufacturers either got rid of them all togethrt or made them standalone plastic boxes independent from the main box of the pop up.
Our old one did that! I believe it's because it wasn't leveled correctly when stored. Whole box rotted out.

Have you done a video how to repair The front storage Box top
No
How has bed liner held up in front storage box
I came to ask this same thing
What paint did you use on the pop up?
What part?
WHAT PAINT DID YOU USE ON THE LITTLE CORNER PART?
What part specifically?

THE CORNER PIRCES YOU ADDED TO FILL IN AROUND TO NEW DOOR . I NEED TO REBUILD THE FRONT STORAGE BOX ON MY 1995 COLEMAN AND JUST TRYING TO FIND THE RIGHT PAINT.
