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. 👍

I was really torn on whether to remodel it or not, but the wood damage I had seen was enough to finally change my mind. Stinks to see the original go but it turned out quite well

@jeffreyvasby3230 2 жыл бұрын

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 жыл бұрын

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

@StateFun 2 жыл бұрын

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.
