From Wreck to Revival

[Robbo777]

So I bought a Motorhome at the beginning of 2021 and was so naïve when I bought it that I didn't even check for damp. As the summer rolled on I realised things were much worse than I thought and realised I had to do something about it or I was going to have to scrap it. As I started pulling things apart it just got worse and worse and in the end I had to rip out the entire interior,, then the wall boards, even the insulation was soaked, and to top it off, all of the wooden frame was rotten too.
Fast forward 6 months and I've just finished, every weekend and most evenings it took me and I'm done
