Hey all. haven't posted for awhile. I have a 072s skamper that I'd like to sell. I have posted it under "omg, another 072s skamper roof rebuild". I did put up some pictures and info on work I have done on it. as not having a truck to put it in, I thought I'd see if anyone might be interested in...

well d-uh, now I feel like a bonehead. suffering from SCRRS, skamper camper roof rebuild syndrome. thanks for the reply guys. after reading your reply zman, and re reading my post, it dawned on me that the answer was in my question. NO, I didn't have the roof raised and have the lift system...

I have made a some progress on the roof rebuild since late spring. but of course the weather never wants to cooperate when you need it to. since then I have managed to get the roof built. as of yesterday...

Hey Kerry, thanks for the response. yeah, I too agree about the plywood, but I think it'll be ok. May apply some kind of sealer on it though. Do you know what the height of the plywood sides would be? I mocked up some corners, 1 @ 5 inches, 1 @ 4 inches. Kinda knotched the corners to fit the...

Hello all, first time posting, long time reader. I to have joined the ranks of those who picked up a budget skamper. Found it about 3 weeks ago on marketplace. A guy in Denver had it for sale for $100. Lucky me, my daughter was working in Denver at the time. So after 45 min of texting back and...
