Here are a few more pictures of the interior of the Winnebago. As you can see the walls have all been covered with self adhesive decorative shelf liner. My plan is to remove all of that as it is already peeling, and cover all of the walls with new decorative 1/8" wall board. I figure this will be light enough to not add an excessive amount of weight, and will cover all of the imperfections.
At a first glance the interior doesn't appear to be in terrible shape but if you look closer you can see the tell tale signs of dry rot and leaks through out. I intend to basically gut the interior and replace all of the cabinets, ceiling and wall finishes, and flooring....As I said, I bought it as a project.
When I get it torn torn down further I will have a better idea of all that will need to be done. But, for right now I know I save in saying I have my work cut out for me.
I have an 89 Winnebago Spirit with an identical interior layout and cabinetry. The fabric is different however. Mine had a single pedistal chair just inside the door to the left next to the sink cabinet, and it appears yours had a cabinet added there. I'm also planning to do some interior rework, remove/add some windows and replace the dinette with a sofa/pedistal table, possible custom form as we don't need the sleeping space. I'll keep you posted of my progress as well, Rick Grimm from Toledo, Ohio
ReplyDeleteThis one had a pedestal chair at one time, but it had been removed before I bought it. Sounds like you got your work cut out for you too. I'd be interested in knowing how your project comes out.
