Started on Disassembly of the Interior. The best way to rebuild a camper from the ground up is to start with what you can remove without gutting inside. Gutting is a dirty word in the camper renovation business. Most people who know will run away from a camper that someone has gutted and renovated! You start by taking out the cabinet doors, drawers, appliances, basically anything that can unscrew. Then remove the aluminum skins on the outside and disassemble outside in. Basically the exact opposite of how the camper was built. The problem most encounter is they gut the inside and they lose all structural capabilities of the camper. The Cabinets are usually screwed from the outside in, if they are screwed inside out then you can remove them. If you don’t see the screws well then you’ll probably have to wait until you remove the ceiling and skins. The way these are constructed is Frame, Floor, Walls, cabinets, roof and then metal skins.
So on that note. I removed the Dinette Cabinets, Front bed frame, Kitchen cabinet uppers and lowers, and the Dinette upper cabinets. These were all unscrewed, not a single screw or staple was cut. Once I got to the Fridge cabinets and rear bathroom I could tell these were installed before outside metal skins so they will wait until I remove them and can unscrew them WITHOUT Demolition.
All the removed pieces were moved to my shed until I can rebuild them in spring.
