Fantastic score Rob! 'specially for the price
your re-construction is looking good
emergency hatch on my Travel-Mate got ripped off in a storm and soaked the overhead...not as bad as yours though, just the roof paneling and 1 board by the hatch to replace

and who cares if it's a '82 (mine's a '89) waaaay better than dicking around with tent poles (usually in the dark....) tarps and getting soaked when ya roll into the wall.. camper, like ya say, level up, set up lawnchairs, crack beer.....

notice you say your going to re-seal the roof. I get tired of climbing up on mine every yr or so to re-caulk, going hi-tec and permanently this yr
Alsans RS


use this at work, it is incredible stuff, lightweight, practically indestructable once hardened, and will last over 50 yrs. It's not cheap, the can pictured is around $300, but they come in smaller gallon sizes. It's a 2 stage that has to be mixed, and you most certainly want to be wearing gloves and old clothes.....it will take weeks to get off your skin...ask me how i know...
and if your roof is any kind of metal (mine's alum) you will also need this primer


all in about $100-150 to do, more than caulking, but that's far outweighed by the fact you will never worry about it again-ever. piece of mind....
