Hey everyone, welcome back to the channel! If you’ve been following along, you know today’s vlog is all about a super exciting and challenging project I’ve been working on: my 1968 Dodge A100, a classic small C-Class motorhome. This RV holds a special place in my heart, and I’m pumped to bring you all along on the restoration journey!
First I have to clean and remove old over 40 or 50 years older RV putty.
I redo on RV’s front window put new putty then put together on the front RV.
I was starting with put new RV’s putty to put on together aluminum wall with roof together with screws for better stability. I put RV’s vents and other stuff insulation back together.
Unfortunately something went wrong!
I recently discovered that the fiberglass on my 1968 RV is in worse shape than I initially thought. While cleaning and sanding it, I realized the damage is too extensive to fix with just a quick touch-up. I’ll need to use an auto body kit and add some more fiberglass in the future.
However, due to the rain coming soon, I’ve decided to apply a temporary fix for now until I can do a more permanent repair later. It’s not ideal, but it should hold things over for the time being.
Friendly Reminder Here’s a refined version of your tips and steps:
Tips for RV Window Maintenance:
1. Replace Old RV Putty Regularly:
Be sure to replace your RV’s putty every 3 to 8 years. If you delay it for more than 10 years, you risk water damage and leaks inside the RV.
2. Installing the Window Properly:
When installing the front window, make sure to do it the right way. Don’t put screws in too tightly or will damaged or at the wrong angle—misplaced screws can poke through and damage the frame or affect the window’s seal.
3. Stability Matters:
To ensure better stability, use fresh putty to seal the aluminum wall to the roof. Then, securely fasten everything with screws to prevent leaks and ensure a solid installation.
By following these steps and replacing putty regularly, you’ll keep your RV in good shape and prevent costly repairs down the road.
It seems like a lot of progress!
I was closer to give up make this video because kind of wasted my energy and time to get my RV done fixed and didn’t show as much of video footage.
I have to stopped working due to night time will do other day.
