Howdy
Few years back I bought at 1965 Aristocrat Loliner. This summer I decided to start fixing it up starting with the little bit of dry rot I noticed.
One thing led to another and there is now no original wood left. All new and all rebuilt by me and my moms boyfriend. Surprised at how successful we were because some of the pieces of wood that we replaced were guesses based on the dust that remained from the original wood and the outside sheeting.
Long story short, I've managed to get it back together, put the original siding and trim back on with almost no modifications and have a beautiful empty box ready to bring to life.
You will notice me lurking around the corners of the forums looking for advice on how to replace the original siding and trim with new stuff. How to make sure it's as waterproof as possible and what awesome things I can buy and build for the inside.
Thanks in advance for everyone's help and interest.

Glad to see you on the site. While I am new to motorhomes I am a referber and tinker at heart. I will be interested to see what you come up with. Not that I would do it myself, but I can appreciate the work and thought that it takes to tackle a project.
