I've found another Scotty that I think will be a good candidate for a restoration, it is in better shape than the one I am rebuilding. I'm curious if anyone here has tried replacing 10' scotty interior walls while still on the frame one wall at a time (of course while supports are attached to the other walls and ceiling) - skin off (skin looks pretty decent) and if rot is found along edges like I a expect to, either replace whole wall or section.
I understand the idea that you would need to keep everything level and supported. Has anyone tried this with success? Is there a thread already that I can refer to?
Thanks, Poquito

On Serro Scotty's, as you know, the interior/exterior walls are 1/2" plywood. I have done a complete rebuild, replacing ALL plywood and solid stock on the walls and roof on a 1971 Scotty Sportsman. Not too sure if this is answering your question......... For an experiment, I did a "Repair / Replace Only What Needs To Be" on a 1966 Scotty Sportsman. On this one, I removed all aluminum siding and roof, in order to repair / replace what was needed. It turned out pretty good. The owners had planned to do all of the repainting, once I made the repairs and added additional wiring and a 30amp service. picasaweb.google.com/117311562985050168797/1966SerroScotty#

Hi Poquito, I don't have a Scotty, but my Sportcraft had solid 1/2in walls that we replaced one piece at a time. We knew all along that we'd be replacing the ceiling. I'm not sure if this would have worked if we were trying to keep the ceiling intact. My build is here if you want to check it out: vintagetrailertalk.freeforums.net/thread/5208/57-sportcraft-rebuild

Thanks Russ and Windborn, Those ideas are very helpful. After I spent over two hours looking and poking around, I brought it home. Your photos are going to be a very good resource as I start peeling back the onion.

Ok, here it is before I left with it yesterday.
<a href="http://s1104.photobucket.com/user/dreamsaremadeofthese/media/scotty%20no%202%20font%20and%20center_zpsxk2vkfbi.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h340/dreamsaremadeofthese/scotty%20no%202%20font%20and%20center_zpsxk2vkfbi.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo scotty no 2 font and center_zpsxk2vkfbi.jpg"/></a>
The curbside is warped from a teens party at a river. It was too close to a bon-fire and the siding warped, the interior actually smoldered. The front has been stripped of the interior wall and the the curbside interior wood will need to be replaced. I can replace the curbside skin bottom - the top may be smoothed back out not sure yet. Right now it is 100 degrees in the shade so I'll need to work quick in the mornings and late in the day.

Streetside skin is in pretty good condition. The owner had sprayed painted the blue. Poquito

The front dinette benches and interior wall had been removed before this last owner got it. He had not done anything but house it in his barn and paint the outside blue. I got nice rims, Serro Scotty hub caps, rock quard (small hole in corner) and spare window frames. The door window is missing as well as the glass in curbside window. The rear window has a broken pane. Poquito

It's actually in fairly good shape. Don't know if you can match that paneling. That's one thing I hate about the newer trailers. The birch wood beauties are fairly easy to match. If that were mine I would redo the entire interior in birch or maple and stick a set of wings on the outside.

I agree, that 70's paneling is just plain ugly. It reminds me of gold shag carpeting and macrame wall hangings. I have pulled off curb side and it confirmed that the plywood in front is the worst and the rest is in pretty good shape. The plywood side is solid, it is mostly the roof top plywood that will need to be replaced. It will mostly be in front, back and redo the top with better framing for the vent. However, that paneling...ugh!
It is attached pretty darn good, I don't think it'll come off without damaging the outer plywood. Mobiltec, I'm getting ready to watch more of your videos to review removing damaged boards and replacement. Do you think I can just cover the interior paneling with a light weight ply if I find a good supply? Do you think 1/4 ply will be too much? Poquito

I'm talking walls so far, I don't have a plan for the cabinetry yet.
