Bought a 2012 Catalina 261rls used little over 2 years ago. Since then, we have done a few things and ran into a few problems.

started out modifying it by painting the cabinets and walls, reupholstered the dinette cushions and out a cover on the jack knife sofa.

Ended up finding A LOT of water damage earlier this year so I had to figure out how to get the slide completely out and rebuild the entire wall around the slide. Took a while, but spent way less doing it myself vs the 4K estimate (minimum) we got from the dealer.

While is was fixing the slide, we decided to replace the old fridge with a bigger, residential fridge. It was super easy to do and well worth it. Cools down much quicker, holds temperature better and is bigger.

Here are a few pictures
