Bought this 03 SLC 3505 from a family friend recently. I got a great deal on it, only catch was I had to drive up to Coos Bay Oregon to pick it up. So did 42 hours of seat time and 2100 miles with a buddy and went and snagged it. He bought it off of another family friend who custom ordered it, so it has the layout we wanted. Full size bathroom and shower, with what I thought was enough garage space for the car (but it's not, so have to remove wheel wells). It was very well taken care of, never overloaded, and all maintenance done on time. Initially I thought I would just pull the bathroom carpet out, and use it for the season. But as soon as I got home, the lady decided we are doing a full remodel now. I should have known better. So it's getting the full treatment. I haven't found many writeups on remodels of these units, other than sporadic facebook group posts and a few unfinished threads elsewhere, so figured I use this as a place to post all my photos.
For this season it will get: New floors, complete paint throughout including walls, new hardware, new faucets, toilet, bidet (mandatory), tie down points, wheel well covers, preventative wall sag brackets and bracing, new upholstery, graphics delete, buff, ceramic coat. And eventually I will fix the minor delam on the front cap. Roof is rock solid, but i'll reseal it as well.
A couple weeks ago picking it up:
Hit the road over to the 5, up through Shasta:
And landed in Santa Cruz to camp for a couple of nights which was awesome:
And made it home in 2 days:
Some before interior photos:
First order of business was gut it and pull the carpet out.
'
Next was patch all old holes, and there were a LOT
Taped off and laid the primer. Initially I planned on spraying, but once I started taping I realized it would take me 3x longer to tape everything correctly than it would be to just roll.
I laid my first coat of paint on the walls last night. Forgot to take photos. Will take some more after this weekends progress. Hopefully will be done by early october
