Pretty big project Kajun. Do you think you will be able to camp in it this year?

Looking good man. I've been working on the generator all weekend.

Probably not, but keep going in this thread. I had the same problem when I started my remodel thread - I wasn't sure where to put it! I think I went with General Chat, but that doesn't make a lot of sense either. I'll create a remodeling/restoration forum where we can keep threads like this, and move this and mine (and any others) into that forum.
New propane tank? Very much interested in what's going on here. Same size? Larger? (Maybe you posted it and I missed it.)

Looking good.
One problem I'm seeing with my AC unit is that the fiberglass around it has sagged over time so when it rains there is a pool of water around the AC unit.

Tdashmike....yes there is sagging around both holes but I don’t see a way to fix it now with all wood in place...hopefully the new silicone roof prevents any seepage ..
Thanks Judith! Alil at a time!

Kajun, do you have any ideas on where my leak could be coming from? I thought it was because the AC seal was broken but it looks like the water is coming out right above the vinyl interior foam. The fiberglass looks dry to me and the seal looks good. The only thing I can think of is if the fiberglass is cracked somewhere else....
From top to bottom:
Fiberglass
Wood frame
Plywood Sheet
Foam
Vinyl

Hey kajun. Nice work! Did you mask off the top of the roof or did you paint the entire top - sides and all?

Thanks Kajun! The leaking side on mine is actually the drivers side so I think it may be from the roof refrigerator vent. It looks like you have an older model B190 without the roof vent, you might want to look into it if you plan on putting a fridge in. Perhaps a fan system on the side of the van if you don't want one on the roof. I'll take a picture of my roof and post it here later. I plan on re-sealing all the roof top items so hopefully that will fix it. Mine does have the solar pre-wiring so that will be re-sealed also.Thanks again for the tip.
By the way, what are you using to patch the roof? It looks like fiberglass cloth with lots of epoxy?

Ah ok yea a resealing will definitely help and hopefully fix ya prob.....I used Walmart fiberglass and fiberglass resin for my repairs.. my fridge has a vent on the side of the van..it’s above the fridge access panel
