- Another new series on my channel. This time, I start exposing some rotten areas of the truck camper and see how bad it is and then start planning the rebuild.
This is part 1, and there will be many more.
Shoutout to @covetthecamper2289 and @McSpeedAlaskanAdventures for providing their knowledge in camper repairs, updates, and remodels. I feel a lot more confident now, thanks!
They're a can of worms for sure. I just got a 76 camper, 8' unknown brand. Luckily I only had 2 spots to fix. Waiting on my new jacks. Done with messing with old pump jacks. I am amazed they stay together with 1x2's frankly. I could have swore my 80s had plywood in the walls but can't remember
I am shocked too, on how these are built.. lol
You defiantly have some long days and nights ahead of you. Trust me i know. ive been rebuilding my Lance 915 for the last 2 months. It had a ton of rot as well. I did eliminate the front window on the build back. We have been documenting it on my channel. Its defiantly been a lot of work but has very rewarding. Like yourself this is the first time ive ever done any repair work on a camper like this but thanks to you tube ive have learned so much. The best advice i can give is get a Oscillating tool. It has been my best friend in the whole process and Kreg pocket screw jig and screws for reassembly and lots of liquid nail. Good Luck
Thanks, the project has been going really good so far. Yup I got my mself a oscillating multitool and it's been a game changer.
Awesome project!!! You are starting with a much much better camper than I did. I’m jealous. My vote is to eliminate the front window. They are just a leak hazard anyway. That wood rot is very fixable. I’m installing a new three way fridge in mine. Probably my next video.
Yeah, I feel very confident about this project. The only thing about deleting the front window is I'd need some new aluminum siding, framing, and closing it would be easy. Just sourcing the matching siding may be an issue.
I got my eye on a 350 dollar camper. Is just the way I want it on the inside. But the outside like yours is oh brother. I don't know if I;m talented enough to replace so much frame.
I'm a pretty handy guy, but I don't have much experience with wood, etc. I'm more of a metal fabrication guy, welding, etc. But as I tear into this camper, it's really fairly simple. Just a lot of time being careful removing the hundreds of staples, etc. But I'm feeling confident.
