In the end several things could have been the culprit, my guess is it was a combination of all of them — the back window seal, the running light anchor screws, and a ding in fiberglass near the taillight. Once I had the kitchen window resealed and all the leaks in the back fixed I patched the floor in both spots with 5/8in marine grade plywood.</p> -<p>Plywood digression: quite a few people restoring RVs and trailers seem confused about marine grade plywood. It’s not that special, just expensive. Marine grade doesn’t mean it’s sealed or somehow better wood. Marine grade is a technical term for “not quite as shitty as Home Depot plywood”. All it means is that there’s no gaps in among the layers of ply. You still need to seal it.

-I know what you're thinking, "hey, that looks pretty good, what is there to restore? Shouldn't take long right?" Selective photography is why it looks good.
-
- I started in the cockpit area because it was easiest thing to get at. The damage was pretty minimal too, just rip out the wood, throw away the fiberglass insulation and you're ready to rebuild.
-
-<img src="images/2017/1969-dodge-travco_2015-06-15_143816.jpg" id="image-230" class="picwide" />
-
-In fact tearing out the old wood and fiberglass was so easy I went ahead and did the rest. Long sleeves and a mask recommended.

-
-Once that was done I dug into the actual structural damage. Fortunately there wasn't that much. It was all water damage, most of which I knew about going in (except for under the water tank beneath the back bed, which was a surprise).
-
-The window in the kitchen leaked badly and was the source of most water damage in the bus.

-<img src="images/2017/1969-dodge-travco_2015-07-01_102059.jpg" id="image-232" class="picwide" />
-
-In the back something around the water tank leaked.

-
-It took quite a while to figure out what was leaking in the back and where. In the end several things could have been the culprit, my guess is it was a combination of all of them -- the back window seal, the running light anchor screws, and a ding in fiberglass near the taillight. Once I had the kitchen window resealed and all the leaks in the back fixed I patched the floor in both spots with 5/8in marine grade plywood.
-
-Plywood digression: quite a few people restoring RVs and trailers seem confused about marine grade plywood. It's not that special, just expensive. Marine grade doesn't mean it's sealed or somehow better wood. Marine grade is a technical term for "not quite as shitty as Home Depot plywood". All it means is that there's no gaps in among the layers of ply. You still need to seal it. I used some industrial strength deck sealant on the bottom and several layers of paint on the topside.
-
-Here's the basic floor repair process:

-
-
-Rinse and repeat until you're structurally sound again. Just make sure you've stopped all the leaks first.
-
-Once the leaks had been stopped and the floor was repaired I got to start on the actual fun stuff (to me anyway) -- rebuilding the walls and cabinetry. I didn't take nearly as many photo as I wish I had during the process of rebuilding, but here's a few random shots of various things.

-For the most part I tried to keep everything the way it was. I did add a few things here and there though, most noticeably the cabinets above the windows, which I built in part for the storage and in part to make it easier to do the ceiling/wall junction by, well, covering it up.

-There's still a few things to do, like reupholster the seats, install the floor, and install a water tank, but she's very close. Close enough that I'd hit the road as soon as the floor goes in (next week if I have the time) were it not for the whole need-to-sell-our-house thing. Next year.

-As anyone with a birthday around now can tell you, the plethora of religious holidays nearby largely overshadow your own. Which is fine by me. As far as I can tell, Elliott doesn't have a strong opinion about it all yet, though he currently very much dislikes being the center of attention, which makes birthdays perhaps a bit unsettling. I can relate.
-
-Whatever the case our birthdays, combined with the Solstice the next day make for a nice little string of family celebrations. We hang decorations, enjoy a feast of sorts and celebrate the rekindling of light and hope at the depth of winter darkness. Or something like that.

There is nothing to wait for, there’s only today and the increasing need for food that the winter cold brings. Though I think that’s a far bleaker way to put it than the birds would could they talk, at least judging by the playfulness they same to have in spite of the cold. Perhaps even because of it. After all, everything else is gone, which means less competition, fewer hawks in the sky.

We seem to spend more time cooking in the winter. My daughters have been helping cook since they were around two. However, because they spend so much time in their own world, they don’t always <em>want</em> to help cook. Elliott on the other hand is sometimes excluded from the world of his sisters and therefore spends more time in the kitchen than they do. </p> -<p>One night he pulled a chair up to the stove and I let him help with some risotto. Now every meal he’s in the kitchen, dragging his chair up to stove. “Me, cook.” This morning he cooked the sausage. I put it in the pan and broke it up so it was easier to stir, but he did the rest and told me when it was done. I told him when it wasn’t pink anymore it was done. Then he scoops a few bites sausage out of the pan and onto the cutting board to cool.</p> -<div class="cluster"> -<div class="embed-container"> - <video poster="https://luxagraf.net/media/images/videos/2016/out.jpg" controls="true" loop="false" preload="auto" id="1" class="vidautovid"> - <source src="https://luxagraf.net/media/images/videos/2016/cooking-web.webm" type="video/webm"> - <source src="https://luxagraf.net/media/images/videos/2016/cooking-web.mp4" type="video/mp4"> - Your browser does not support video playback via HTML5. - </video> -</div> -<span class="row-2"> - - <a href="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2016/P1010448.jpg" title="view larger image "> - <img class="pic5 " src="https://images.luxagraf.net/2016/P1010448_pic5.jpg" alt=" photographed by luxagraf" data-jslghtbx="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2016/P1010448.jpg" data-jslghtbx-group="group" ></a> - - - - - <a href="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2016/2016-12-07_065158_cooking.jpg" title="view larger image "> - <img class="pic5 " src="https://images.luxagraf.net/2016/2016-12-07_065158_cooking_pic5.jpg" alt=" photographed by luxagraf" data-jslghtbx="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2016/2016-12-07_065158_cooking.jpg" data-jslghtbx-group="group" ></a> - - -</span> -</div> - -<p>Of course nothing pulls the girls out of their own little world like noticing that someone else has carved out their own little world, especially if that someone is their bother.

But it's clear they're not waiting. There is nothing to wait for, there's only today and the increasing need for food that the winter cold brings. Though I think that's a far bleaker way to put it than the birds would could they talk, at least judging by the playfulness they same to have in spite of the cold. Perhaps even because of it. After all, everything else is gone, which means less competition, fewer hawks in the sky. Perhaps winter is the best time to be a chickadee.

-Winter is definitely not the best time to work on a 1969 Dodge Travco though. There's no heater, not in the dash, not in the cabin. There is, however, a couch now, and it converts to a bunk bed. Okay, I still need to order the foam for the couch cushion and get the whole thing recovered, but I finally have a place to sleep at least. I've also finished up the kitchen, installed an entirely new propane system and slowly, meticulously sanded down the dash in preparation for a fresh coat of paint (or possible gel coat, still undecided).

-The long winter nights mean less working time in the bus though. We seem to spend more time cooking in the winter. My daughters have been helping cook since they were around two. However, because they spend so much time in their own world, they don't always *want* to help cook. Elliott on the other hand is sometimes excluded from the world of his sisters and therefore spends more time in the kitchen than they do.

-One night he pulled a chair up to the stove and I let him help with some risotto. Now every meal he's in the kitchen, dragging his chair up to stove. "Me, cook." This morning he cooked the sausage. I put it in the pan and broke it up so it was easier to stir, but he did the rest and told me when it was done. I told him when it wasn't pink anymore it was done. Then he scoops a few bites sausage out of the pan and onto the cutting board to cool.

-Of course nothing pulls the girls out of their own little world like noticing that someone else has carved out their own little world, especially if that someone is their bother. So I end up starting a few pans of food and turning them over to the kids while I drink coffee and stare out the window at the chickadees, wondering when the warmer weather will arrive. |
