Fifth month (November 2004)

We continue with the rust repair. So much for our trip to Townsville! :-

We did not expect this much rust or this much work. BUT we will now have a motorhome that has a raised roof and centre door. AND we know that all of the rust has been removed and repaired. Once the front and roof skins comes off we will see all of the structure.

We have painted where there is no rust. The rest needs to be repaired. 		month 5 We removed the floor sheets (pans) and the rusted beams all the way back to the chassis. We repaired it with new steel and painted it.
