SLO I only have 2 words regarding your fire pit setup... FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yet another thing I wil be copying. I like to setup my patio right outside the back door under an easy-up canopy.... so I will tap into the gas line on the left rear of the camper where it goes into the...

HAHA... Now that I have copied your under camper storage with some minor tweaks to avoid infringing on any of your patents :smiley_drive: I am contemplating your overhead cabinet mod. Seems like there are variations in the way skamper put their roofs together. Mine consists of the outer metal...

Thanks Bill It looks like your roof is a big project, but you have made great progress already. I look forward to seeing your finished project! Post lots of pics on that roof build, please!! :)

Here are some of the mods I have made: Tie downs for the front... Bolted some happi-jack rear bumper brackets to the front bed bolts. For the rear I installed some forged eye bolts directly through the bumper. On this truck the rear bumper brackets are part of the hitch/rear crossmember...

Well the trip was great.... words can't explain how happy I am about not having to sleep in a tent!!!

Thanks, man!! It's been some work but had a good camper to start with (minus the rotted roof wood). I was concerned about proper COG on my 5.5 foot bed but all loaded up I am happy with the results. COG on this model Skamper is only 27" from the front of the bed (wet). Don't have a whole lot of...

Prepped and ready to go this weekend.... I have shaved another 1.5 inches off the platform since this pic was taken to get it sitting just right. Will try to get some of my progress pics uploaded soon, but didn't take too many. Was like having a second fulltime job getting this thing ready to go...

Lookin good SLO. Quick question for you on the USB outlet.... looked on amazon for detialed specs but couldn't find what I was looking for. Anyone know if those units have a constant parasitic draw if left powered up even while no device is plugged in?

Nice man!!! :clapsmile I'm glad you built your Skamper so I could copy some of your work, but congrats on the new camper! Looks like it fits your truck like a glove! One of these days I'll get some pics up of my build but right now I'm just trying to get everything done for an upcoming trip.

OK so you're using three tiedown points on the camper and 4 in the bed... I get it now. I will be adding new tiedown points to the bed floor, my F150's factory tie down points look like they are in some thin metal. :eek: My jack supports are just carriage bolted to the wood on the camper sides...

Slo.... I'd really like to see what you did for tiedown points on the right hand side of the camper. I have some ideas for mine but the slide out couch/bed base makes it hard to simply put an eye bolt in there. I will be securing mine to the inside of the bed much the same way as you did. I...

I bought this camper off a co-worker for 500 bucks... here's a pic of the camper and the donor vehicle (a little old Mazda B-series) Here's the obvious dryrot on the roof surround wood and torsion bars twisting the crap out of it. Did a lot of research into fixing this before I decided to...

Hey all, just picked up a 1988 Skamper 072S. Wanted to say hi to everyone and thanks for all the info on this site. My build is all based off of SLO_F-250's project, as my little 072 is also for a downsize truck that I am going to put on my F-150. In fact, SLO's build and this forum are the...
