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.
