Well she’s been out a few times now, and we've made some improvements. Working on getting a few things changed, then will post pictures. But for now, she looks good in the woods.

Understood, towing in tight spaces is a different challenge. I do agree with the idea that a 4wc shell doesnt need much outfitting, in fact the more stuff in removable bins the better, so you can adapt to circumstances and change/move things as needed. what about using the shell you have, but...

Or even a built out inclosed cargo trailer. Ive seen some guys do that, then live in them for months at a time during hunting seasons, in deep snow, and blazing heat. Just another option.

Is there a reason you don't want to tow a small trailer? You could definitely live in a fwc in a taco, just depends on your lifestyle. But a small trailer would be a lot more comfortable. Maybe a small hard-sided popup, with a lift and bigger tires so you can take it off road. Or build one.

i get it. And agree many of those partscan get crazy expensive. And like i said, its a big commitment and not everyone has the time. My windows and about half of my water system came from an older full size truck camper I bought for $100 and parted out. Took the stuff I needed, sold the rest. I...

This thing is turning out great. If you are willing to share, Id love to hear a rough dollar amount this is running you or projected total cost. thanks. Keep up the great work

I have to agree with OP. My dad had a 4wc and there is always a problem, weather it’s moisture, weight, issues opening and closing, etc. and he paid a good 20k for it a long time ago. i built a custom popup myself for $1050 over the course of a couple months, and zero issues. I understand not...

The old ‘whats the least you will take?’ Is always funny to me. I always just counter with ‘whats the most you will pay?’

Looks awesome. Your metal work looks great.

This camper is sweet, and he is right. Go with what you know. There is more than one way to skin this cat. Some of my decisions were due to cost, but most of them are because I know what I know, and I know my limits as well. At the end of the day, no matter how perfect you build it...

I still love mine.

What a cool build! If you put a small ridge or bow in the center of the roof to lift it a bit, it will be stronger, and give you more room up front above the bed. Depending on your needs, it may be enough room to sleep under with the clamshell setup. Also much less likely to have water issues if...

Also from the northwest. I would steer away from anything with fabric unless you have a garage/shop big enough to store it fully opened up while not in use. Plenty of people up there run tent campers, pop ups, and flip tops, but if they get wet, and you dont have the facilities to really get...

Thank you for the feedback. I was working the photos on my phone, ill have to move to the computer for resizing. The kettle/fireplace. Search for turkish tea kettle, or samovar. There are many styles, lots of them are very fancy and not practical for this type of use. But this one came right off...

Thank you. This site has provided me so many ideas over the years, its time to pay it forward and share.

Very cool.

Few more i had to retake, also, pictures of the big camper after the silicone treatment. within a year of buying it, the front fiber glass was trashed. Forrest river refused to warranty it. So i covered it with silicone, looks great. Also in the summer we would get a ton of heat pouring in...

Few more photos. The interior is still pretty rough. Need to do some trimming and tidying up. But its warm and dry and comfortable. The the couch and countertop bases are plastic crates, like milk crates, but rectangle. A local nursery is always giving them away for free. They all created nice...

Yes, 4 wheel campers are flat roofed. If they make a bowed roof model, ive never seen it. My dad has a 4wc, its flat, and hes hd issues with it. 2, yes, i would get a gallon of silicone, and do the roof, go over the edges a little too. Its cheap insurance to protect any roof material, and make...
