Update:
I torched the bumper mounts off the frame and removed the framework that had been added for a hitch, for double towing. Re-mounted the bumper 4" higher, now it is flush with the body. Welded on some perches for big casters. Re-plumbed the fresh water tank to get the drain out of harm's way. Welded on some slide sockets to make the rear jacks removable.
All of these things were to increase rear ground clearance.
Started adjusting the pin box and realized the previous owner had bent it. Lucked out and found one of these locally on CL for $100

Started tearing out the entertainment center and bathroom walls.


Walls and tub gone, note the big hole in floor for tub plumbing.



Vent is gone, vinyl and a whole lot of staples pulled, hole has been cleaned up to one rectangle and backers installed. That patch is now in and ready for new vinyl. Toilet pulled.


Will start on wall and shower installation tomorrow.
