I decided to go ahead and redo both walls so I bought one more piece of Sandel Ply at Home Depot yesterday. I am going to use the other damaged wall piece for my inside cabinets so at least I won't waste it. After I routed out the new replacement wall, I decided to go ahead route another new wall.
After routing the new wall, I cut out the doors and final sanded the overall profile. After that, I went and drilled all the holes for the roof spars and floor mounting. For some reason, when I temporarily attached the new walls to the floor for dry fitting, I found that the newly cut walls fit the floor much better..hard to explain. I reshaped the rear of the teardrop profile where it meets the floor so in messing up the last walls, I actually improved the new walls. I am actually much happier with the fit and finish of the new pair of walls. I'll post some pics of the progress shortly.
Tomrrow, I will lay out both walls, spread out the carpet adhesive on each wall, and then install the carpet on the walls. So far so good.
You guys all have neat names for your teardrops. I guess I need to come up with one rather than just calling it "The Teardrop/Cycle Hauler" which is pretty boring. Ok, you guys give me some ideas for names......I thought about calling it "The Phoenix" since it has risen from the ashes for the 4th time...lol.
You know what they say--"Fourth time's a charm!"
Never give up, never surrender.
