Good evening. You did a wonderful job restoring your box. I too am in the midst of this. Do you know or remember the dimensions of the original front wall of the box that you used for a template? Mine was destroyed. I need the height, width and thickness of that piece. Thoughts?
That would be the way to go. lol. I will say when I was done with it completely, I put some Thompsons Water Seal in a $5 spray bottle from Wal-Mart and sprayed it down completely. I’m not going through this again. lol.
We have Al ost the same trailer unless this is a 99 Cole an Niagara Elite with severe water damage and in the area where the water heater is. We were going to sell ours but decided to keep and repair as we seriously don’t have a place of our own to live in right now. This trailer has saved us. So she deserves it.
The water heater and lines must have just been a common issue. I just took it all out of mine lol. But I absolutely love this camper. I have since completed it. I’m still working on the video but it will be up shortly.
Question...I replaced my floor... but.....I'm confused on how far out or more so, how the side panels attach? Do the sides go flush with the frame or does it over lap? Or is there supposed to be a small gap with the wood floor showing??? Thank you!
Sorry for such a late response. I just had trouble single handedly trying to get the outside plastic back on and all lined up to match the main body. Everything is easier with two people. Also when I built the wooden box, I didn’t have a good template to go by because it was literally destroyed so I was guessing on some and my measurements were off for the plastic. I had to shave some off for the box to fit good inside the plastic. It was just a pain for me by myself at times.
Looks great

Do u have the measurements on the hight of the 2x4's for the back supports? Mine didn't have any. Tks!
Sorry I have been out of state. I believe I cut mine at 18” but I used 1x4s just to make it a little lighter.

What problems did you have with the plastic outer pieces?
