Update #8 With the painting of the camper done we moved on to some of the "trim" pieces. Things like the fenders, roof rack, and ladder. We previously painted the ladder with some Rustoleum truck bed liner and it started flaking off almost immediately. We wanted a tough truck bed liner for these...

I think we are absolutely going to do that now! Great idea!

Update #7 (continued) We used boat paint and primer for this. Throughout the process we've taken a lot of cues from the boating/sailing world as their stuff has to be durable and water tight. Mixing the paint up. Rolling and tipping. Starting to come together! Finished product! In all...

Update #7 Painting time! ... Well not quite. First there was some additional fiberglass work to fix imperfections in the fiberglass. Might as well since we are going through the trouble of painting! All the blue tape shows imperfections we fixed. o_O You'll also see in the first one that some...

Update #6 So fiberglassing is done. Clearance lights are done. Air vents are done. The next big project is paint! Scary and exciting all at the same time. First though, we took care of a few small things. We sprayed Amelia down only to find that she still had a bunch of leaks. She was leaking...

Update #5 Up next, Maxxair roof fans. These are going to be a great upgrade from the standard roof vents. The fans have 10 speeds and it also has an automatic mode where you can set a temperature and it will adjust accordingly. They're also bi-directional so they can pull air in or push out...

Good opportunity to round out a bunch of different skills! ;)

Update #4 Next on the ever growing list of things to do was the clearance lights. The old lights were losing voltage as they wrapped around the front and the last one was barely even on. That obviously was no good so we got some new LEDs and pulled out the old ones so we could rewire the whole...

Thanks! We're really happy with how things have gone so far!

Thanks! We're looking forward to seeing the end result too!

Update #3 With the fiberglass "done" we started moving on to some other projects. We took the cover of our rear bumper to reveal a scary sight... We couldn't unsee this unfortunately. So we took a belt sander and ran it all over, then got a wire brush and went over it all too. After that, we...

After tearing the camper apart we got into fiberglassing. A lot of the old appliances ran on propane and because of that they needed venting. That meant there were a lot of holes in the camper that needed to be filled. We're planning on switching all but the stove over to electric. Well, really...

SO MANY DEAD MICE! It was nuts and smelled awful!

Hey everyone, thought I'd share some of the work my wife and I have been doing on our 4x4 Sunrader. It's a fiberglass camper on a 1985 Toyota Pickup. Very few were made in 4x4 so we were super lucky to snag this one. We bought it in August 2017 in Bozeman, MT. We drove it around the west coast...
