Worked for a while today and yesterday. Yesterday we tour out the back of the floor and built that section. We started today by continuing to rip out the floor and replacing the studs. We got about 2/3's the way through. We felt pretty good about that, and decided to try and continue tearing out and replacing the floor. We worked from 12 to about 6 thus far, and had one last beam to take out in the very front of the camper. This one was jammed in pretty tight. We spent another hour just trying to get it out, and we finally got it.
Taking that final beam in the front led to the biggest problem yet. The whole front caved in. I mean the whole front. We almost got crushed by the camper. It was all held up by the aluminum outer shell. We thought it was completely ruined, and it still may be. All our work in vain. We are hoping that we will be able to pull through it and redo the structural soundness. By this time it was pushing 8 o'clock, thus getting dark. We set in boards to push the weak roof up, and we might, just might, be able to get it structurally sound again. The picture to the right shows the supports in place (click to view larger). This picture had a 30 second shutter speed! Which basically means it was pitch black outside. Anyways, tomorrow we will have to go out and continue doing the floor and get some supports in the bottom of the walls. If we get a windstorm, that camper will inevitable fall over.

This last picture shows our progress thus far. Thanks for reading. Let us know what you think.
