Rob, you are the kerf king! Love your tips for work around!
I like the sound of that!
@@RobTheRebuilder I wasn't expecting a reply. Love your channel . I have 40 yrs restoring old homes, Restoring my 1st camper. Learing a lotfrom you videos. thanks.
@@parrisc84 Happy to help!
I really enjoyed the kerfing. Kerfarific!
Kerftastic
I love your videos. They are so helpful. Thank you! I can't wait to start on my 1963 Scotty.
Thank you. Scottys are great to work on. Good luck on your build.
A steam box will make the plywood flexible enough to take that curve and retain it's shape as well as it's strength when it dries.
If you want to build a steambox. The thin ply works great.
What if you cross cut the plywood? It’s much more flexible with the grain going the other direction.
Kerfing is a real help
Just got a 1962 Scotty. HELP! I’m not a carpenter but I can surely take things apart! Any info you can give me would be appreciated! Your work is awesome and I’m watching! Hopefully I will get the courage to begin soon. Is there a site to purchase vintage items for a Scotty? All I’ve found so far is a pair of hubcaps over $400. Nothing anywhere!
Serro Scotty Enthusiasts on FB is a good resource. Watch videos and take your time. Take lots of pictures and measurements.
As you nail down the corft plywood, would it be a good idea to also apply glue on it?
Glue is a good idea
Hi Rob, my roof doesn't need repaired, but I'm trying to figure out how to carefully remove the mesh and Roofing cement in order to remove and replace the skylight as well as fix the damage to the side walls. Any suggestions? Thank you Jennifer
Sometimes that roofing cement is impossible to remove. Maybe a wire wheel on a drill?
@@RobTheRebuilder thanks for responding. I have a Dremel which has both wire and cutting wheels. I also have a drill and I don't, but my dad probably does, have a cutting wheel. Thanks for the idea! 👍😊
@@SuperStarDIY Dremel might do it!
@@RobTheRebuilder Lol I was literally just thinking the same thing. I have one.. somewhere... in the basement okay I'm going to see if I can go dig it out. Thanks!
PLEASE HELP US !!!!!!!!!! We have a 1975 Serro Scotty that has been taken down to the frame. Out side walls are done and all the insulation, both sheets and then rolled. How do we get the top done with NO possible way to leak. If we used sheet metal what gauge of metal should we use? Thank you for your help. Have a blessed day. Polly and Robin
Your skin is made of aluminum so you should use aluminum for your roof. Match it up close to the sides and put butyl tape under your J-rail and use stainless steel screws to fasten your J-rail. I also use a couple of coats of RV roof sealant on the roof just for good measure. Good luck on your build.
How far are you rafters apart do you glue them to the Plywood
Every camper is a little different. I have several videos up about placing the rafters and how I glue them.
I'm a little surprised you didn't glue the roof rails in. Otherwise nice work.
If you watch my new build I glue them in. Scottys were not glued from the factory but it is a good idea to do so.
yessir
Thanks for watching
Rob, what type of plywood do you use? And how do you weather treat it? TIA
The floor is usually 3/4 construction plywood sanded one side. I use spray can undercoating from HD on the bottom.
@@RobTheRebuilder what do you use for the sides?
@@jontheinstaller71 1/2" sanded plywood. It's about $50 a sheet.
@@RobTheRebuilder I’m getting ready to restore a 1982 Lite Prowler, thank you for your help and love your videos.
@@jontheinstaller71 Good luck on your build!
Besides the rafters that frame out the windows and vent, how do you know where to place them? Does it really matter or is it just more or less spaced out by about a foot to provide sufficient support for the roof?
Measure where they were and add some if you think it helps
@@RobTheRebuilder I was worried that would be the response 😂 our camper had so much rot I'm not sure we had a single stretcher left in one piece so I don't have the original measurements. No biggie, we'll just frame the important stuff and add some more for extra piece of mind. After screwing them to the walls, you also run screws from the inside of the camper through the roof and into those stretchers? What do you do to hide the screws/screw holes?
@@michaelmarch8719 I generally staple and sometimes glue ahead of time. Watch some of my recent videos on the subject, I think they will help.
The joist don’t provide much structural support. They are mostly just nailers. The plywood under the joist carry most of the lateral load.
How did you know exactly where to place the window frames? Because if I measured any thing when I took it apart I lost them or my notes faded.
I took measurements and temporarily put skin on.
what size plywood? did you use
The roof is 2.7mm Luan
@@RobTheRebuilder You used 2.7mm for the side rails
No not the roof the Curve wood sides
@@RobTheRebuilder did you use 1/4 inch ply wood for the side rails
Do you make money doing this Rob?
Building campers? Yes
cut your plywood in half 1st. much easier to handle.
Maybe so
Dude you talk way too much.
Thanks. I look forward to evaluating your channel.
