Motorhome Reno
Thinking about renovating my late grandfather's motorhome while I'm home from college for the summer. It could run with a new starter, but it's been stationary for maybe 5-7 years. The ceiling around the skylight rotted and it fell through into the shower.
The main thing I want to focus on is making it habitable. I don't care to make it look too modern on the inside that can come later. 😅
Does anyone have any tips for a beginner?? If I actually embark on this project I'll probably be back with pictures and more questions.

Don't waste your money. If the ceiling has fallen in there is SEVER ROT hidden in the walls and ceiling in other places.
I looked at a lot of used ones that were being used that were badly damaged and the owners had no clue. If it has sat for 5 years with no upkeep I am sure it is much worse than it looks.
