It had also been "re-wired" a number of times. We just tore out all the old wiring and re wired everything once the paneling was off.

I think we replaced more wood on the upper portion than we left. My brother thought it would be a good idea to put all the rotted wood in a box and ship it to the seller. I laughed because we couldn't find a box big enough even if we wanted to!

Sent my brother to the store for paneling and stain. He came back with cherry colored stain. I was skeptical at first. But I came around when we tried a test sample of the stain on the lower portion and learned the stain would adhere to the contact paper and we could paint everything to match. The lower portion is completely solid so we won't be redoing any paneling there - only staining to match.

The interior walls were dripping wet and soft. But the roof was solid. Still haven't figured that out. The roof will be stained to match the cherry paneling.

Love this project!
Keep up the good work and the pictures.
Most people have never seen a siesta and can’t appreciate how neat they are.
Who else has a hard sized pop up camper?
