The grease pan is just sheet metal. Measure and bend the edges, should be easy to replace. Of course, that is if you can get the burner screws out...

Sunday:
No pics, but managed to get all wall panels cut and in place. Stapled them in spots just to hold them. Repaired the cross frames that were rotted due to the old vent leaking. Started peeling the old flooring as well.
Tomorrow evening my dad is coming over and we are going to remove the springs, axle, and tires. Drop the trailer to vehicle dollies and roll it in the garage so the work can continue. The weather appears to be taking an unpredictable turn and I don't want to have to keep wrestling with a tarp. Hopefully all goes well dropping it/getting into the garage.
Hope everyone is well!

So, we were really worried about the bolts coming out of the springs and axle. Less than an hour later all came out without any issue. We had literally less than an inch to spare. So pleased that I can work on it at any time once the weather turns. More updates to come later on.

Going to love the trailer being in the garage.....although I can't use the weather as an excuse anymore. It was raining outside but I had some time this evening. Took advantage and pulled the old laminate floor. Also cut some windows out. Rotozip made easy work of the job, however without a guide had to use my steady hand......as the tool wanted to cut right through the old dried out framing as well. Hopefully I will have more to talk about tomorrow.

No pictures, but over the past few nights I was able to finish cutting/installing the wall panels and cutting out the door and window openings. Floor tile came in yesterday and I picked it up. Thinking I might lay down luan to cover where the old flooring didn't pull up. It's papery and doesn't scrape or sand well. Haven't decided yet.

you have a lot of patients, and from what I see good skills also and remember it will be all worth it in the end.

No pictures yet, but I did manage to spend a couple of hours this week laying luan down for tile. I also picked up beige tile to pair with the "green" tile (posted a link above somewhere). We are going to do the standard checkered pattern, as opposed to diamond. I am going to set up a large heater in the garage this weekend hopefully and get the tile installed. Also ordered/received my converter/fuse box, bought a 7 prong end, and some trailer wire. Hoping to get that started in the next week or so as well. Slow moving....but still making progress. I will post pics once/when the tile is down, before I cover the floor. Have a great weekend everyone!

Things are coming along. I like your tile. Green is my favorite color but I'm never bold enough to try it. I look forward to seeing it in the camper.

Thanks for keeping us up to date, Adam.

Good news.......I found the VIN today on the frame. Did a quick search through the BMV website.....it's a 1967, NOT 1972. More vintage then I thought. I am excited. Tile should be done this evening and I will get pics up. Doing it in 3rds for easier mobility on my part. The glue is curing on the last third now. Should be ready by 5pm or so. Lol

Finished the floor late this afternoon. The pictures don't do the floor justice, as the green is not as dark as it appears in the pictures. This was my first time laying VCT tile. Feel a bit proud. Lol The bottom picture is more representative of the actual color

I like it. You did an excellent job.
The first time I did ceramic tiles in a bathroom it took me a week to do a 2 day project. But doing it yourself gives you real ownership, doesn't it?
