I have the 39mb. and I just remover the front wall in the storage compartment to install a cabinet grade plywood wall to support my TV and fishing poles. As usual what should of been a simple job turned out to be an all day affair because RW used scrape wood for the wall studs. The insolation between the two storage compartments had fallen to the floor there was no glue on the wall to hold it in place. So I guess I will need to see what is behind door #2 meaning front cap.

Just another classic example of the continued destruction of this country by corporate executives and bean counters that only care about how much cash they can pocket for themselves.......

On a more positive note very nice job GipC!! Thank you for the detailed account of your out of the park repair!! It is this sight that gives all of us hope that we can for ourselves make our homes or home away from home, homes the best they can be. Plus at a price we can all afford doing the work our selves over a shop. In the end all of us RW owners are proud of our rigs, and know when we pull into a campground or RV resort. It is then when people hear and turn to see they all watch and stare with envy. We all still have very nice top end rigs and there has to be some satisfaction in that.

Looking forward to using this post to make the proper repairs to our 38GK!!!

What pics?

So what about the rear cap? I assume it's just as bad. Is there any access to it?

Well I picked up the items needed for this improvement and made a mistake that cost me a little more grabbed the R30 insulation instead of the R13 took some time but I got both rolls in there stuffed into every corner I could get it. Will look forward to seeing the difference. Since it was cool here after a rain front went through this morning mid 70's. Figured it would be a great time to complete considering the normal temps here are around 90 to 95. As I was finishing the radiant on the final side GipC was right about the difference. I put the first layer over the original that I glued to the cap. I don't think RW even did that from the look of it. Then two layers over the top of that the second making the biggest difference when the sun came out for a little bit. I then laid a piece of the radiant under the safe box filled with more insulation getting a bunch of it pushed up from the bottom into the front cap behind the shelves. Insulated both sides under the floor either side of the lock box. After that I spray foamed under the lock box area sealing around the hitch/frame area setting the box in so the foam could expand around it. Thanks GipC for your detailed documentary in this post. I tried to PM you but cannot for some reason. Could you PM me like to ask you a few other questions and maybe meet for a thank you since we are so close to each other.
