To Lift or Not?

So now comes the big question, should we (he) lift the walls or not?  Of course to do it right they need to be lifted, but did he want to? NO. Is it going to be a pain in the but? YUP. Did the wife (me) question this decision endlessly? Oh Yes. But in the end the only way to do it right was to lift the walls, you see the wood under the walls was so rotten it just fell out. Seeing as the walls sit on the floor and we are replacing the floor, we should replace the whole floor, even the part that sits under the walls (that is what i was told, i think?)  :)

And of course nothing is simple or quick or goes the way you want it to. All the way around the camper the walls were screwed to the frame so all that had to come off.
So we are only lifting the walls up enough the slide the new piece of plywood in, then lowering it when we are done.
Here are pictures of what Andy concocted to lift this sucker up.

Oh and did you know that the rear slide has to get unattached from the roof when you lift the walls? I didn't. And did you know the walls have to be pulled together with straps otherwise they want to bow way out? I didn't. These are just some of the things you learn when working with your significant other.
