Sounds just like mine did. The only thing I saw was some witness marks but that May have been glue from putting the wires in. Took ours out last weekend and actually got some rain. Didn't leak. My FIL and nephews slept in it a couple nights this week too while visiting so it is starting to pay...

We bought a Skamper last summer for $250. It is the 080s model. We had a 1979 Fiber Kraft that we had redone some and really enjoyed. the problem was that with a toddler, it was just too small. So an upgrade was needed. The camper was cheap because it had been neglected and the guy just...

My internal construction was very similar. There were some ribs that were broken on mine when I pulled the insulation down. I got some pics tonight and will upload in the morning. Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

Mine didn't have any structure other than some plastic ribs formed into the first layer under the al. The al is really thin and will tear easily. I tried hard to salvage mine but it was too far gone. I'm actually going to work some more on it tonight when it cools off. I'll snap some pics and...

Wow, I thought my roof had issues. If I did it again, I would use al for the roof frame. That and get any mold out now while it is still not finished. Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

Oh yeah, 26ga is a little too flimsy for the roof, I had to add some extra supports in. Still sags a little.

Well, got the roof almost finished. Figure a little more sealing tonight and I'll have a leak free roof for the first time since I've owned the camper. I didn't get any pictures during the build since I wanted to just get it done but I'll take a couple finished ones soon. Not the cleanest job...

I got some 26 ga steel for the roof. Should be light enough and didn't kill the budget. I'll have almost as much into the roof when I'm done as I do into the whole camper!

I think I've decided to go with similar construction to what was there but improve on it. I would have loved to do Al for the frame but the cost and the fact that I don't have a way to weld it made it tough. My old Fiber Kraft was Al and that thing was great, just too small for the family now. I...

I picked up a Skamper Pickup Camper last summer and went about the task of fixing it up. The roof was leaking really bad so I pulled all the old rotten insulation out and put new in. The problem I have now is the roof sags really bad. I tried to put some stiffeners in but they didn't hold at...
