walls

I would rather asked 1000 times then screw up. Want to install a tv mount. What is the Max outer wall screw length in my 2026 Keystone cougar 360MBI. My research shows 1” to 1.5”

GF wants a spice shelf hung over the counter next to the kitchen sink. Is there a standard for interior stud spacing or is it like the rest of the construction process and just each one has a different spacing. I assume studs are 1X2 fir strips at most. I've heard if there is a wall paper seam...

What's the fix for rotted side walls and collapsing top. On my 2006 Hi-low 19 foot. See pictures. Thanks

i was originally thinking of using 2” xps in my walls. while watching tons of build videos, it seems folks are using 1/2” to 1”. i dont have plans to sleep in negative temps but teens and 20’s are possible. plus im in texas so…. where’s the sweet spot between not enough and too much?

I switched quite a bit around! The remodel has gone great! I put up the wall panels. The wall behind the couch is actual wood pallets. The wall to the left of the coffee bar is also pallet wood. But the side walls are panels. I am so satisfied with it. I was able to put in a mini closet. I...

I'm interested to see if anyone is experiencing walls moving inside a 2023 30 ft Classic. Each day we travel, I see the street side finished walls moving away from the aluminum walls. I can see an "L" shaped bracket pulled away. The closet is also shifting as is the bathroom wall. General bumps...

Hello! I'm nearing the demo phase of my '07 International CE300 conversion. I'm struggling to see why I should remove the inner wall panels, but knowing that it's a popular choice, I'd like to try to be convinced. Some info: I'm not planning to do spray foam, and will instead be using 1.5"...

I used baltic birch plywood for all my interior walls. Does anyone have good insight on what paint I should use? Which brands and paint types are best. The walls are already primed. Will more affordable brands get the job done or is it worth spending extra on this for top quality paint? Thanks

I run a small Van Conversion shop in Seattle and frequently work on SMB/Econoline/E-Series Vans. I’ve noticed that not many vendors sell wall/ceiling panels or templates anymore and I get lots of requests for them. So I have made a set of wall templates for RB length cargo vans (adapted from...

Hey! I’m new here. I bought a 1997 micro Chevy bluebird in May. I thought gutting it would take a couple weeks tops and here I am still gutting it in September… I biggest think is not knowing what I can take out and what I should leave alone. The rivets have definitely been the biggest issues...

Hello first timer. I am trying to remove the walls from a 2004 International half bus. How do you take the walls off without messing up the windows? Floor are out, I am debating the wall and the ceiling. While I was removing the worst spot (and almost only rust spot) that was near my...

What kind of screws are you guys using to attach wood framing to the metal ribs of the bus? There are so many options of head design like a typical v head wood screw, a pan head, heads with washers, etc. Then the thread style and pitch, coarse and fine, self drilling, ??? Any suggestions and why...

Hello all, Recently purchased a 2007 22ft hi lo. Sadly we were too eager and didn't do a great job of inspection. But here we are. We live in Oregon...so it wet outside..and there was some wallpaper water damage around the windows. Minor it seemed. I have resealed all the windows and the...

Been camping all my life but this is our first TT. Looking at doing some mods in the bathroom for more storage, like putting up a medicine cabinet. How do I go about knowing where the studs are in the walls? Is it like finding a stud in a normal wall? Or is there a cut sheet or diagram...

Hello, I am in the beginning stages of converting my skoolie, I am fresh out of college so I have a tight budget. I’m trying to save time and money. I’ve see/heard of some people not replacing the original walls/ceilings, looking for thoughts on this? I was thinking of leaving both and maybe...

Hey Skoolie people, I've been reading these forums rabidly for months now, both before and after I bought my 2004 36' International T444E school bus. She's bright blue and beautiful. I'm an absolute amateur with all things related to the build process, but I've gotten by well so far reading the...

I am about to mount a lightweight flat screen TV above our entry door in our 2014 FS. The purpose is so that our 3 little ones can occasionally watch DVD's while we drive. It is important for the family's overall sanity while traveling. I requested the drawings that show the wall construction...

Ok so I’m just getting started on the wall rivets. I have the air hammer with center punch to punch out the holes. 1. Almost none of the holes are punching out 2. When I am using the forked chisels(sharpened and unsharpened) they don’t come close to budging the rivets. My gun goes up to 90psi...

As we begin our conversion we have noticed some are pulling out old interior wall insulation and replacing it. Is this completely necessary or can you just fur your wall with 2x2 and add more insulation over the existing wall and insulation. Opinions welcome!

Has anyone opted for the reinforced wall option and if so which ones are important on a 21'. Thanks.

Hi everyone! I am mid-demo on my 4 window shorty. This bus will be an occasional RV and mobile art studio, so no full time living. I'm a bit confused about wall insulation and thermal bridging. I popped all the rivets, and taking down the wall panels Monday. Original ceiling is staying intact...

:cry::cry::cry::oops::shock::shock::shock::shock: So, sorry...long. I am pretty sad right now. We bought our 2008 FF 21' last year. We had a local RV service fix the front vent that was broken when we bought it last spring. Apparently, they put in the wrong vent...so it leaked but not...

I'm looking to install a tv on the bathroom wall in the bedroom of a Thor chateau, 22B. I've located the studs but can't tell of they are wood or metal. Anybody know how the walls are constructed? Thanks

Can the "blackout" curtain by the door go in washer and dryer? Seem to have (mold?) spots on the wall and ceiling material....what can I clean it with? Thanks!

I am just getting ready to start building out my interior. I have really struggled to figure out how to adapt paneling to floor and walls, all the while adding insulation and noise dampening. Thought I’d post my general approach to converting the van and hope some of you may stop or correct me...
