I'll have to track your project. Our '88 Itasca seems to be the same floorplan as yours. I have thought of doing a restore on the inside but have spent most of the time on mechanical/electrical and upgrades. Installed solar for boondocking.
Are you going to install a dinette again or just the couch?

Nice work. Looks impressive. Keep us posted on the progress.

Do you have any before construction pics? Seems to make the improvements even more impressive.

thanks, it is not as good as I would have done a few years ago, seems I have lost the touch of perfection I use to have when I was able to do more for longer, but it will do

looks great,,,its fun isnt it,,,the dw and i have fallen in love with finding vintage tt,s and restoring them,,,our first was a 96 fleetwood storm 30,,not so vintage but we lived in it for a year and fixed all the damage from a bad roof,,sold it and we then found a 68 aristocrat landcommandor and restored it,and a 9 or 10ft very old GTA that still has the ice box, and today we just bought a 68 holioday rambler,,

i had to rebuild a 40x50 building into an rv garage/shed to store them in and a dry place to work on them...lol

keep posting those pics they are great,,,,i love seeing what everyone is working on..
