Part Deux...

The time has come for the roof, as Andy jumped onto the roof of the camper from the deck and said here goes nothing. The one part of this camper that is actually built pretty decent!  It only took him one evening, not even 3 hours, to get the moldings off and rip off the rubber roof.  He only broke one molding and one vent while doing this too.  

Here it is the next day with all the osb board removed too. That only took him a matter of an hour or so to remove.  He found a lovely mice nest right next to the AC, you can kind of see it here in this picture, i was not here for that part so there was no photo taken, sorry!

Andy says this is the least scary thing he has done on this camper so far.  We are going to leave it a day or so to dry out and then replace the osb board with new plywood, put new insulation in, and then glue a whole new rubber roof on. All after we (he), vacuums up the mouse poop and sprays it all down with some bleach :) 
With all the wet wood we have dealt with in this turd the roof is the only area that had mold on it. It was in the insulation on the back side of the camper all along where we think it was leaking from and where NONE of the screw holes in the molding strips were covered with butyl tape or putty.  
Plus don't you wonder how the mice were getting up there? Andy claims they shouldn't get in now, he has everything sealed.  He even plans to take out each window and reseal all around it. 
This is gonna be the best built camper around!!   :)
