Yeah, originally, it's a couch that you can turn into some bunk beds. But we would rather have more sleeping areas, so we made them permanent sleeping spots.
The ceiling lights are led lights used for commercial van lighting. They come all wired together and use double sided tape to hold them up. I bought the dimmer separately. I think I have close up pictures of the lights on my Instagram (link in the description).
I wished that these could be resurrected in 'kit form'. I think buyers, like myself, would love the challenge of assembling and customizing one......could save $$$ on the assembly/construction with DIY.
Yes it did take a long time but we finally did. Had to get it inspected, appraised and put a bond on it. This camper has a older VIN and a new one so that's what took so long. They ended up using the newer VIN on it.
@@vanover69 first go to local DMV tax office and let them know you bought the camper and need to get a bonded title. They will ask for proof of ownership then give you a document with the different steps. Per the list: make a appointment with auto theft taskforce (they will inspect the camper, look for vin, and see if it's stolen), then you need an appraisal on the camper, all that goes to the regional DMV tax office where they give you the bond amount, buy a title bond for that amount and take it to the local tax office again, if everything was done correctly you will have a bonded title in the mail in a couple of weeks. Important notes, we live in Texas so things could be different in your area, the camper had a license plate that showed it had been registered in Texas before, the detective that did the inspection was able to fine a vin number on the frame and camper, from the day you get the paperwork from the inspector you have 30days to complete the bonded title process or you start over again..... yes it is as big of a pain as it sounds. Good luck if you have an other questions you can dm me on Instagram (link in description)
I don't know how big his dog is being I've never seen it but if it's small enough he should take that little small panel in the dog door and make it a swing door.
Most of the cracks in the camper are actually gelcoat cracks and not fiberglass cracks. They are ground out in a v pattern then filled with a thickened fiberglass resin then sanded flat.
Did he remove the elephant skin type material on the inside? Is that just the fiberglass wall now? I was wondering if you could remove that ugly stuff.
While I would make differant choices, I still love what your brother and you have done so far.
Thanks!

Yeah that would be a cool idea.
Love your videos bro
looks like a fun project...were you able to get a title with this unit?
Yes it did take a long time but we finally did. Had to get it inspected, appraised and put a bond on it. This camper has a older VIN and a new one so that's what took so long. They ended up using the newer VIN on it.
Could you share you efforts to get the title… going through same issue now with a boler

Great idea!
So the cracks in the fibreglass are fine just filled and sanded?
We actually reinforced it with fiberglass.

No, we cleaned it and re-calked the seams and painted it.
Where is the bathroom and shower?
These don't have any bathrooms or showers.
