Hunting camper remodel (pic heavy)

[lonesome dove]

We leased a new property last year, and we camped in our big family camper. I never felt really good about leaving it down there, so I decided to find a small (cheap) camper to have at camp. It has turned out to be an ALL SUMMER project!
Hopefully it will be ready for September.

This is without a doubt the strangest looking camper design I have ever seen. Looks like a backwards 5th wheel????

2 walls were completely rotten. The roof had a few pin hole leaks.

That's a lot of work

getting there

getting the outside all sealed up.

Wow, what a project. It always seems like that your only going to do this little bit and then...

Keeping an old camper in good working order is a constant battle. Keep up the good work.

sealed side and roof pictures

I decided to put a roof rack on it for the canoe and kayaks

That rack will be great. Hard to get at, but great.
Also I love the shape of the top in the back... That's a real retro look that is gone today.

inside

I know it may look a little funny with the paneling lines running horizontal - but it bends in the corners easier. It's a lot nicer working with the ac running!

Is anyone else thinking-mobile hunting blind? Set that thing on a big food plot and open a window.

Go to the lease for the weekend, go to sleep, wake up and peek out the window overlooking the food plot, And Boom Goes the Dynamite!

Will that camo make it hotter? I'm remodeling one right now would love to camo it but wondering about the heat. I would almost pay you to camo it since you are not that far away. It looks great. How did you get the lines so straight? Did you spray paint it or what?

 

[Gadestroyer74]

He certainly done a dang good job painting it

just 4 different colors in spray cans and "had at it"

After all the inside remodeling, the painting was what I kept looking foward to the most. Almost done with the inside now (tiled the floor yesterday = no fun).

You get ready to paint - let me know and I will help
