To Do:
Grind down last floor beams
Patch rest of rivets on underbelly
Continue sealing cracks on underbelly
Track leaks in walls (what will we do about them?)
Install tank anti-freeze heaters and ridged foam insulation
Remove one vista view window to learn the process
Jackson’s dad Rob came out to help for the weekend. We started installing the foam board insulation into the floor. Doing two 2” layers gives us an R-value of 20. We got the back section where the bed is going finished up. We also replaced the end four feet of the belly pan with a new sheet of aluminum. We removed a vista view window that was leaking in the back and took it apart. Carolyn scraped the UV protective film off of the glass which took a good couple of hours. She used acetone and steel wool to clean up the metal flat retaining ring/clip. Rob removed the massive water heater. We installed the tank heaters along with foil insulation on the bottom of each holding tank. We had one for the gray water, one for the black water, and two for the main holding tank.
The sagging underbelly.

Shiny new underbelly!
The new storage area for our sewage hose.

The surface of the holding tanks where the tank heaters
were to be place was heated up with a blow dryer in order for them
to stick properly.
We removed one of the vista view windows that was leaking.
Carolyn got all of the gunk off of the windows and shined it up like new.
We removed the water heater, which is accessed from the outside for ventilation.
