    I really think that truck camper is very cool. That was built when things were actually built to last. Its obviously been taken care of. I've seen 10 yr old campers with more wood that needs replaced than that one had. You're going to have a gem there when it's completed. 👍

    Been excited to see this phase of the project. That thing is really in great condition for a camper of it's age, usually after 10 years the newer campers go to crap. At least that one used real wood when it was originally constructed.

    Hey bud you should pull the siding of first because exterior metal is the last thing put on before vents and windows. Remember your going backwards to do a proper restoration. I built RV's and Mobile homes back in the 90's. Rear wall last,electric,insulation,siding,windows,vents,door and trim.

      @StateFun  2 роки тому

      Thanks for the tip. I've already finished the remodel, but for future, do you have any tips on pulling it off without messing it up? I pulled a corner back to fix some damage and ripped the metal because of all the staples holding it together

      Unfortunately, the water damage was scaring us a little too much. Didn't want to risk losing the entire camper so riping out the paneling to replace the wood was how we repaired the wood. It could have been done from the outside I guess, but that would have been much more difficult I believe.
