Your new van is such a great find and it's also great that you keep your 3 VVs all snuggled up together LOL ;D

I don't know... that why I'm asking the "experienced persons" on this forum.
I would prefer I sheet the size I need.... but I've only hit the phone to plywood suppliers today.
How would I joint two sheets together - at the hatch?

;D ;D You guys crack me up !! Talk about going off on a tangent - from "scarffed joints of plywood" to "polly wafflers" (sorry Franlkin1 ) - you have to a "a certain age" to rememeber "polly waffles"

Don ~ I just like to look at the night sky but gee that snows a bother in winter ;D
Greg - thanks - I've learned alot from watching other repairs on this forum .....I didn't want to take all the roof off but I couldn't patch the water damage
Hill - I'll be keeping the hatch timber as well as the interior light support - I'm hoping to find one piece of ply the exact size of the roof ;D

Reddo Your scaring the newbie Even though I'm in a cabin, I've decided to "camp" like the good Scouting mum I am. I'm digging out the sub zero sleeping bag and my thermals are around here somewhere..... although I might need to find my waders after seaing (not seeing ;D) that last photo

Buying "sight unseen" is always a problem, pictures don't always show the extent of work to be done.
Audrey has a lovely look to her and with a little or a lot ;D of elbow grease, carpentry & love, she'll be worth it !!
