Breathing new live into my 2000 Dutch Star

That is AWESOME workmanship...nicely done ?

I haven't done it yet. LOL.
But my intention is to do most of it within the next year.
To build a $1,000,000.00 coach for about $30,000.00 LOL
Poor boys have to acquire skills and "make" what they can not afford.
However, I am of the opinion that it cost very little more to make it "high end" than just slap paint on it.
Here are a few thing I have done over the years starting with a heap. I do "all" off my own work. mechanical, interior and paint.

Ah...it appears I jumped the gun...except, based on the pictures of your handiwork, I'll let my comment stand!

Gonna finish the roof, replace tires, and do needed maintenance.
Have some fun this summer and fall. Start the reno this winter.

Great job on the roof! If I may ask, what purpose does the steering wheel have?

Keeps me going the right way! LOL

Was using it as a prop to keep water from collecting over a hole in the roof when I have a tarp over everything.

Rain in forecast all weekend so roof repair. I decided to take the ceiling repair. Got a sheet of 1/4" underlayment and a sheet of dense foam insulation. Cut them to fit. and glued them together. Glued the foam backing to the plywood, then ran out of glue before I could glue the vinyl to the foam. Will have to measure close on where to cut holes for the AC vents. Is It is going to be a challenge to get it back in place before the adhesive dries on the ceiling joist. When I get to that point.

I am having to replace a section of the interior ceiling in my 2000 Dutch Star. I need the "T" strip that fits into the Channel the ceiling section fits in. Any idea where I might source these piece. Newmar does not list them. I believe a lot of coach marker use this system. Thanks.

I would email or call Newmar parts. I'm sure they can get that for you, it seems common as I look up at it in mine.
