Jack Mayer Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Very nice trailer. I would not let the minor repair items scare you. The wall repair can be accomplished many ways. I'm assuming the leaks were repaired properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSD_Tweaker Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Very nice trailer. I would not let the minor repair items scare you. The wall repair can be accomplished many ways. I'm assuming the leaks were repaired properly. Jack, I think Russ meant the leaks are still an item to be repaired, and the wall, and rear cap area will need professional repair. The way I understood the description, it is in need of these substantial repairs. If not Russ will surely straighten me out. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo/Russ Posted August 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 While I like Jack's optimism, RIck is correct that the repairs are still needed. And while there are several capable do-it-yourselfers out there, one would have to consider a professional. Maybe the interior for a few DIY's, but the outside will take a large spray booth and lot's of sanding. Were I still doing these things I'd Line X the front to resist tree limbs, bird and bug impacts and it would be forever, but the sides will need a painters skill. And for the record, after finding the leaks I did take steps to stop further decay, but that doesn't mean the source has been resolved, again due to the depth of repair required, once it is started. I do have to criticize the Teton team for the clearcoat issues since my '04 Ford that I bought new and it has sat outside in the same sun and weather for even longer has no UV, sun or weather damage. I suspect a poor application since most is on the LH side. And the two leaks seem to be from 1) a plugged drain in the rear window as I did a lot of spaying from the rear AC down to see if I could find it. And 2) the leak by the slide was clearly a poor joint at the top corner of the slide opening vs. the roof which since I couldn't move it to a shop for repair I have covered with plastic sheet and tape which has kept it from getting worse for a couple years since I found it. Sadly neither of these showed until the water had lifted the vinyl on the wallboard and by then the damage was done. Of course the tires speak for themselves as that is a matter of sitting one place for 9 years and not being exercised. I would not move it to the closest RV park without changing those. Thanks for the comments, but I need to be honest with anyone who reads this. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while there are several capable do-it-yourselfers out there, one would have to consider a professional. Hmmm, I misunderstood that the leaks were stopped....that does change things some. It could still be a good deal for DIY guys. I'd have to see it to know if it was something I'd tackle myself. The interior walls can be pulled based on Teton construction and any wood rot fixed pretty easily. Hopefully the leaks were caught before that issue occurred. The typical leak under a window will rot the floor in that area and the wall studs. Teton used wood. New wallboard inside could be easily done and the decor changed out at the same time to match the wallboard. I doubt the Teton wallboard is available. I'd probably put paintable wallpaper over the patched area and everywhere else in the lower deck and paint it. It will look better than the tyypical RV wallboard, anyway. The exterior is a typical paint issue. I'd simply have the entire exterior painted. I'd put four coats of clear on it. At the same time I'd put in new frameless double pane windows. That would change the look totally. Cost should be in the under 18K range for both paint and windows, if done in Indiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelrider73 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 So, in dollars, how much work does this unit need to be ready to roll and look nice? (I'm not a DIY guy for most of this - so, using professionals)... Sounds like a $20k project to me - just throwing a dart at the wall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
