Actually not a bad idea, you can be wondering RV upgrader. Take on projects doing or assisting owners for day or two then move on, take+on work when you want it.
If you do put me first on list for new wood floor. See already you have a backlog.

Not a bad idea haha. Wood floor is easy! Only problem I see is I wouldn’t have all my tools with me.

Incase anyone is looking for new white plastic C molding for the wall to the bathroom here is a link to the stuff I’m going to use.
Took me forever to find the right molding again as the old link I had didn’t work anymore.

That's helpful. Thank you for the link.
You gonna screw it or glue it?
The original trim in my rig is screwed on (not stainless steel screws), and in a shower that always seemed a bit odd to me.
Hey, at least they used plywood in that area instead of MDF ...
What's the diamond plate on the right side of your bumper?
Also, do you bring spare gas? If so, what's your strategy?
Thanks

I bought this to repair my shower door molding and found it to be a little too large to make a snug fit. It was OK for my threshold because the MDF had swelled, not good on the sides, so I didn't replace the original trim.
Here is a part that I think has the same dimensions as the original trim and might fit better. It's a little pricey but comes in 72" and shorter lengths in 2-packs:

If you want to find similar options do a Google search on "plastic 1 inch U channel, and the world will open up.
Update: You can order this directly from the factory for less. Comes in 12 foot sections, so 24 feet (2 pieces) needed comes to about $30 including shipping:

I’m planing on gluing it, no screws.
It’s actually a piece of 6061 aluminum with a ton of holes drilled in it to acct for mounting pretty much anything I want. Going to mount my maxtrax recovery boards, rotopax gas containers, and possibly a storage box for tools.

Ah bummer. We’ll see how it fits. If not I’ll have to try out your suggestions. Thanks!
