Roof repair was done when first purchased. Then roadtested to Houston Tx to determine if further repairs were worth it. Decided to continue . Shelf replacement and frt section repairs done later leading to repaint of complete cab As you know one thing leads to another.

Layout of Classic Winnebago Emblem & finished product i would not undertake this project again as it was a lot of expense and work. Satisfying at the time though. - Frank

I'm sure I will feel the same after my project.  The next motorhome I buy will be turn key and I know what to look for now.

My roof also needed repair.  Had bad sagging and was leaking.  After reading through the repair options here, I chose to use steel braces from the top spanning the width of the RV.  Then drilling holes through the roof connecting a couple pieces of 1x3 pine from the inside, pulling up the roof.  I then used 'Through the roof' clear roof sealant to seal it all up.  Water still pools, but to fix that I'd probably have to replace the roof with a convex structure, which I might eventually do since the ceiling is pretty rotted out.
Thanks for the photos for inspiration!

  LOVE what you did on the front and now it leaves me curious as to your interior after you finished the roof and paint job.
