No prob, let me know if I can help out any further. Im located in the valley of Phoenix, more specifically out in San Tan Valley. Thanks man, yea I was OK with the truck tent for the time being, but then my buddy brought his uncles RV with us to Glamis one time, I had a shower after riding...

Im not exactly sure honestly, not sure if I really want to know haha, but prob close to what one would cost on craigslist in similar condition, maybe about 1k or so? I had zero materials at my house for this, so everything had to be bought, but I tried to keep the cost down as much as I could...

Thanks! It works really well for what it is

Chapter 10: Final build chapter/present So thats more or less it guys! My goal was to get her usable before the annual memorial day camping trip, and I pretty much did everything you see in about 25 days or so, working until 2 am some nights, but it was well worth it. This thing was a whole...

Chapter 9: Finishing (major) touches Almost there, laid down some of that sticky backed floor tile, added some carpet a friend had from his remodel to the sleeping platform/head basher, and wired up the lights/fan.

Chapter 8: Roof back on and canvas window repair Jumping around here a bit, but me and a friend wrestled the roof gently back onto it. Before I did this, as per recommendation of others and issues with the torsion system of the roof lifting mechanism destroying the roof over time, I bolted...

Chapter 6: The floor/poop hole revisited So now that the roof was ready to be put on, I wanted to tackle the entire interior before putting it back on. The next big obstacle was the floor, mainly for the fact that i did not have jacks to lift the thing up and work underneath. But I said the...

Chapter 4: The roof rebuild So the roof was my biggest worry in the build for several reasons. The aluminum skin was torn so I wasn't sure if I would be able to fix it, I was missing two of the side trims which I knew and found out to be impossible to find, and just a general "how the F* am I...

For some reason, on my computer its showing there are a few broken images, but they are coming up on my phone, is anyone else having this issue?

Chapter 3: The tear down/ poop hole?? So, the tear down. First thing I did was get the canvas down and tear that rotted/mangled roof off. After much cursing due to the HECO system being F*ed up and not locking properly, resulting in the whole roof slamming on my head several times, I threw...

Chapter 2: Getting a game plan/ removing all the rot and scorpions So I got it back to my house late at night, pretty much gave the woman the money, hucked it onto my truck with my friends, who all heckled me for it, and didn't look back. In my mind I wasn't too worried about what the...

Hey everyone, first post on here, and a long one at that, this is a documentation of the past month or so of my life and to the present day of my Skamper 072s rebuild that I picked up for a cool $100, and proceeded to dump much more then that into it. So let me preface this with a bit of a...
