On a recent trip a prolonged gusting crosswind seporated me from not 1 but 2 roof vents. The one on the trailer was already cracked and vulnerable but the one on the camper was not. As I continued on headed east yesterday I was staying just ahead of a strong line of storms. Night was falling. I knew as soon as I stopped they would catch up and I had to act fast. Out in the middle of nowhere. As I drove along and daylight deminished I racked my brain. What have i got what can i do???
Didnt even have to go on the roof.
When the idea first occured to me I laughed like hell. Poke an unbrella through the hole!
Fun out on the road. Duck tape and tarp straps this should be a forum catigory.

Joe,
I have not 10 leaks in my roof that pour into my coach....easy fix is buckets..I use the water to flush my toilets which do not work..and after boiling the water on my grill (as my water pump does not work) I have drinking water.. and since my AC does not work, I put fans over the buckets and it blows cooler air, I just wish I didn't have to run extension cords out the windows as my generator and inverters quit working...oh well
Thanks

Im going to give up 1 ft of interior for 1 foot more back porch. The back wall of the blue standup sleeper and its 5 ft of floor will start here and go forward. Its roof, sides and front walls having been stripped away. Its roof will be reused and moved to the front and rerivited replacing the exzisting low roof currently up there.
IMG_20210723_172959299.jpg
The window will get moved over here.
IMG_20210723_172953327.jpg
There will be a bunk hatch here for the back door.
IMG_20210723_172856337.jpg
That second fiberglass stand up roof on the ground will get turned around backward and extend out over the back porch for the awning. 34 in thats a perfect little back porch and its gonna look peterbilt when im done using all thier stuff. Roof, hatches and radiused corners.

Note the double rivit line coming back.

Thats aluminum skin attatched to aluminum hat channel. On this low roof bunk their is only 1 row of 2 on the stand up bunk there r 2 rows of double rivits. Ive got all the same stuff. The walls will be clad in alum, framed in alum, with stainless rivits around all the windows hatches and doors just like Mr. Peterbilt.

IMG_20210723_174346649.jpg
From here to here is 21 ft subtract the exzisting bunk floor 3 ft and the 5 ft of double bunk floor that will be at the back ill construct a deck frame of 3 in channel welded togeather clad with 2by and decked with plywood to span the 13 ft remaining between the floors. The walls will be reconstructed with the same materials they originally were just a bit more distance between the front and back walls.
Tues bright and early the walls come down. Before darkness falls tuesday ill be lookin at bare frame rails.

IMG_20210722_173424330.jpg
The front and back doors all the hatches and all the basement bay doors im cuttingand welding out of the same extrouded aluminum used for the cab door jams.
IMG_20210723_182705957.jpg
Theres my new entrance door frame and the 2 scrap ends that got cut off got married togeather and will be the frame to the water heater hatch.
I dare say i might be building something that will actually be worth more than the cost of materials its going to take ro build it. Im keeping track close. The purchase price combined with all the things ive done on the chassis peterbilt side is right at 50k
