Wall repair

I hate that when someone is deceptive and takes advantage of an inexperienced buyer. The bottom line is your wall is repairable. Would JR have have the matching paneling you need?

Door repair.

When we did our rebuild on our 1990 HiLo Classic the styrofoam sheets came from Home Depot. They were 1inches thick. We found them in the isle with the rolls of insulation.

Fixing escape window

Garyk 52,If you are asking for an opinion on the escape window I would advise you to use weather stripping instead of caulking the window shut. Somewhere in my 1990 restoration story I showed what we...

Demolition

Your $1.00 project is coming along nicely. Rain can be a good thing because it will show where you need to caulk more.

Not sure what Marine Vinyl is?

Plywood trim is good. You could stain it and then use Polyurethane. Anyway homemade trim is the best.
