About a month ago, i came across an Advertising for a 34 Limited, that needed some TLC.
While talking to the previous (2nd) Owner i found out, the Camper had not been used, besides for some storage for about 8 years. He send me some (low Quality) pictures and a little description. He had laid new flooring in the fwd part and vinyl tile in the aft bedroom. He said it only needed cleaning, the toilet replaced and some of the interior re-assembled. It has solid floors and two dents up front..
Since i always wanted a 34, I decided to purchase it for a price i felt comfortable with... even though I’m in the middle of restoring a 48 liner (http://ift.tt/1qGZpRM) and i do not have any time to work on another Airstream.. :o
A friend of mine went and picked it up for me.
Well... i guess now i have some more work on my Plate:
The Camper arrived and the outside was as seen in the pictures.. so i was ok with it...the Inside however was a different story.. First it was very dirty and smelled, well shall i say unpleasant . :o So we parked it in the back Yard for now.
The next morning, when we opened the back door of the house, we already started to smell the camper.. yuk.. so , we had no other choice than to start cleaning.
All fabric was immediately removed and all curtains went straight into the washer. the mattresses went into the garbage.
Since the “new” flooring was a low quality laminate and done only up to the kitchen, we removed all flooring.. also the vinyl tile and placed it on the garbage pile.. All Cabinets needed to be thouroughly washed after vacuumed. We started scrubbing everything from ceiling down.
As for the subfloor, we found two spots up front that had been incorrect fixed, which i attended to the same day..
The rear bedroom will more than likely become a whole new subfloor.
I also removed the two from inside panels to pouch the dents out and i got to say it turned out ok....
alright... enough writing.. i will load up some pictures in the next post...
