Hi,
I am new to the whole rv world. I just purchased a 1994 fleetwood coronado for just under 2 grand. It's not in the best of shape and needs some work done to it. I know that the first thing I want to do is fix/replace/seal the roof because there is a really big section that is missing any kind of protection from the elements. The roof feels like it has some soft spots along the length of it. How would I go about fixing this on my own? What kind of wood would I need if I ended up having to replace the roof?
I have a lot more questions as time allows on the ins and outs of this new experience for me. Because the previous owner isnt sure the shore power works, the aux batteries and the rv battery won't hold a charge and he isn't sure that the LP system is good to use because he's never tried using it. And he thinks there is some electrical wiring issus with the onan 7kw generator since he didnt know how to get it started manually, and neither do I at this point! And it needs to be jump started until we get some new batteries. But one thing at a time right?
My primary concern is getting that roof closed up to protect my motorhome from rotting out!
If it will help you to help me I'll get on the roof of my rv tomorrow and take some pictures of exactly what is going on with it.
Any help or tips and suggestions is going to be great!
I'm looking forward to restoring my rv being part of the rv community!
