Starting renos on the "new" Motor Home

Well Spring is finally here in the Great white north, so time to start working on the motor home.

The first room to tackle is the bath room.
I need to appoligise first for a lack of before photos of the bathroom I thought I had some.

I started by removing all the cabinetry and toilet from the bathroom.

And the switches and plugs and light fixtures.
Everything got a coat of Zinsser 123 primer which covers the vinyl wall paper very well as trying to remove it is imposable. The walls were painted with a beautiful blue and the trim is getting a shade of white paint.


I also started to paint the front part of the main cabin, the walls will be this green and the cabinets will be the same white as the trim in the bathroom.
You can see one of the cabinets has been painted already.
While working on the bathroom I found water in between the skylight domes above the shower, so up to the roof. I pulled off the outside dome as the caulking was in bad shape and came off easily. I was lucky as the two domes were just put together with what looked like double sided tape so a little work with a puddy knife and they were apart. I also removed the inner dome from the EPDM roof which was harder put some work with the puddy knife and my fingers separated the two. I cleaned both domes and applied Eternabond gasket to the bottom of both and reinstalled with a covering eternabond tape so we should be good for awhile to come hopefully.
