Our repaired 5th wheel

This is the '89 Terry 26' we got for free. It had a totally shot roof, but aluminum sidewall frame so I was able to put a new roof on it, including making replacements for a couple of trusses that were also rotted. First and last pictures are before and after of the outside of the roof. 2nd and 3rd pictures are the before and after of the inside. It got new plywood, LED lights and speakers. An upper cabinet modification was done to accommodate a flat screen TV.

Here's a couple more pictures. The first is the roof sheating and rubber membrane that came off. You can see the condition of the plywood here. When I say delaminated, I'm not exaggerating! The second is where two trusses had to get cut out and replaced with two I made. Every wire that went front to back had to be cut, labeled and reconnected after the new trusses went in.
