Rebuild Project - 1981 Citation 25' Travel Trailer
Floor prepped: All the seams & screws are filled and sanded. Now ready for new linoleum.
Floor prepped: Same thing as viewed from back to front.
New linoleum going in: Got this piece of linoleum from the local Buy & Sell paper for $100. Its all placed and ready to glue down.
Floor is down: Gotta get the air bubbles out. Yes, that's me with momma's rolling pin! It worked - all the bubbles out. A neighbor stopped and offered help.
New linoleum: All done the floor! Time to let the glue dry while checking for bubbles.
I've been waiting a long time for this!
Another shot. Sure glad the weather has been good lately. Makes this project a lot easier.
Peel and stick waterproof membrane: I decided to put a water membrane from under the walls to under the bottom of the trailer to keep the water away from the perimeter joists (not eternabond).
Close up: I wrapped and sealed it well. Should be no moisture getting in here.
New wall panels going in: I started with the front. I found a deal on some slightly blemished oak panels.
Back corner re-paneled: That's the storage bay door opening you see here.
Same side as viewed from the front. Most of the panels are in.
Front view: The front shelf and main part of the upper bunk are now replaced. I scrapped the originals - too grungy looking.
Kitchen side: Got the bathroom waterproof panels in and part of the side.
Door side done: There's one side - now to finish the kitchen side.
Kitchen side done: Bathroom and kitchen panels in place.
Wheel well waterproofing: I decided to put the waterproof membrane on the wheel well too.
