RV repair is something most of us do not want to become involved in. However, stuff happens. Even if you never pick up a screwdriver or a pair of pliers, wouldn't it be a good idea to understand some of the mechanics behind such an endeavor?  Custom Search I once read about a man in Alaska that bought a D9 Caterpillar to dig out an area and divert a river so he could dredge it. Because he was out in the middle of nowhere in Alaska, he had to have the tractor delivered in pieces that he assembled on site. That would be what I would call an "over the top" project. I've got a 20-year background dealing with various types of reverse engineering projects working for the Department of Defense. Therefore, I'm inclined to do things myself. Sometimes this works out well, and sometimes not. But it is always interesting. I'm not as young as I used to be, so I think about stuff much more than I used to. I find more often than not, I'm better off thinking things through before jumping in with both feet. Recently my friend and I performed a repair on a water damaged cabover. We performed this repair successfully in June 2008.
This last winter, I pulled up the flooring in my basement storage area under the bed and found dry rot. It appears that there was a water leak back there for a period of time. I've got some ideas on how to deal with this... I'll be putting this on paper soon. As I continue to fiddle around with this motorhome, I will make an attempt to document whatever RV repairs that I do. Some of you may find these accounts entertaining, but others may find specific information that could prove valuable. However, this site is not meant to be a "how to" site. My goal is simply to document some things I've done that I have found interesting. If you have completed RV Repairs and would like to share them, use the Water Damage Repair page. Use the form at the bottom of the page to send a link that will let you share your experiences. As a rule of thumb... If you find it interesting, someone else will too!
