This is so helpful; I'm trying to do the exact same thing right now but I have no idea what I'm doing lol So far I'm just ripping out old wood and gross styrofoam. I didn't think to take out the windows first, so I guess I'll do that next haha
I feel like I’m have the same issue now especially finding out water went inside the exact same spot smh especially after it was raining this Easter weekend
I had a friend help me with restoration of a boat - with wood which is in fair shape and dry (important) you can make a thin mix of fiberglass resin add a few drops of acetone to thin it out. Using a paint brush generously spread the now more watery mix over the wood. It will be absorbed by the wood and then set up giving you a good firm base to work from. Did all the stringers on a 1959 dorsett boat and they set up like rocks.
Oh, the more you look the more rot there is! There must be a million of these slowly rotting into the ground. Good thing you have the skills and ability. How many hours... how will this pencil out, time will tell.
I'm finishing up similar cab over rebuild on my 98 c class. After drying out I painted the framing with a hardener and sistered in where needed. U mentioned jacking up the cab over? Do U have any pictures of the process?
Going through a process of measuring, documenting construction, assembly methods used, sourcing of acceptable replacement materials, all would have been so much more helpful. The constant look how broke this is, becomes really distracting. Yup its all coming out would have been enough. Your rebuild talents must be such that you have faith in re-buildability.
EPDM and TPO Rubber are excellent materials. It’s almost always neglected maintenance that causes the leaks. I’ve inspected original EPDM rv roofs that have been properly maintained last 20-25 years.
@@covetthecamper2289 I spent 4500 on complete new roof, sealed n within 3 yrs leaked then resealed even the overhead lights...leaked again staining the fabric interior...they all leak...mold too.
I own and live in my 15' 1976 Dodge cruise master with the cab over window ( just an average house window) . All my windows are not class c windows... House Windows, and that's causing water damage. My nightmare 😔

Just purchased a water damaged slide in pop up truck camper. Your videos look like the will take the scary out of the build.
We just bought a 66 model camp trailer. I'm afraid I'll be doing this. But the wife loves the vintage look.

Just watching this is overwhelming. I need to get this done too.
I’m really glad it’s done. No issues since the repair. 👍🏻

How do I get a hold of you. I'd like to see if you would repair my cabover.
Nice work! What did you charge?

Yes, next couple of videos will show that process.
Jam a wedge in there.
If may ask... what kind a hardener are you using ?
Hi. We have the same issue. But we also have water leaking on the ceiling inside the cab itself. Where would that water be coming from
There’s a seam/sealant where the fiberglass meets the van cab/chassis. That seam/sealant should be inspected and resealed if needed
The seal between cab and bunk

It’s all a very simple process of de construction and Re construction; only OVER build it this time.
Ok you are so handsome
You look like jaime lannister from game of thrones
Shows how they cheapout the customer with shoddy construction practices.
