It looks wonderful! I have not been able to even open Dolly up because of our crazy weather. You’re light years ahead of me. It’s either been 40 degrees with hurricane winds or 40 degrees and raining with hurricane winds. I have to wait for at least a halfway decent day.

Aw, your little ones are going to have great memories helping fix and camp in your rig. Mine are 15 and 12 now, and they still talk about our previous trips. Out of trips to Disney, a cruise, and various other ones, our camping trips to the Black Hills are the best to them, except for Hawaii. Unfortunately though camping rates high, it can't kick that one from the top of the leaderboard.

It's been in the 90s here. We actually got a break this week and it went down in the 70s but with rain.

I think part of the benefit of this over a new camper is going to be them helping get it all cleaned up. They are always willing to help, even if they are just making more work along the way.

Did you ever find a lock for your door?

It’s going to be a fun project.

Eagle Project update.

All major systems (roof lifts, electrical, ac, etc) are functioning well.

Canvas is worse that I thought and will need to be replaced instead of patched.

Other than that I few pieces of wood need to be replaced. Everything else is cosmetic/ cleaning.

All in all, it’s pretty good for the price of $0.00.

I'll give you double that for it right now.

I have the same camper (first one I’ve heard of like ours!). I’m really excited to follow this thread. What type of vinyl and canvas wash do you suggest?

I’m going to try RMR cleaner RMR-86 Instant Mold and Mildew Stain Remover Spray - Scrub Free Formula, Bathroom Floor and Shower Cleaner, 32 Fl Oz

According to reviews & FB comments, RMR is good for an awning and vinyl, Miracle Mist is good for canvas

I was able to crank up the roof enough to get my hand in and unlock it. I found a replacement but it’s $75 more than I want to spend on it at the moment.

I’ve been using Starbright on the outside and it’s been awesome. It didn’t do much for the inside though.

I picked up some Totally Awesome to try inside.

I’ll report back when I try it this weekend.

Cleaning continues.

I was hoping to get the inside canvas looking as good as the outside.

I’ve tried Starbright, Mold Armor, and Totally Awesome. All of them have cleaned the actual mold/mildew off, but the stains stay.

As long as the mold is gone I am ok with it for now.

I am going to order new canvas from Bear Creek but I am wanting to get this thing usable in the meantime. I have some Gorilla Tape for the holes and some screen tape for those holes.

I am super happy with that condition of the inside. Other than the canvas it looks great now that it’s cleaned up.

More to come this week!
