Did some work on the camper today. First I took some interior photos to share and document a "before".
Sleeping area only is 6' in length, that's not going to work for me. King size bed in the works.
This is where I removed the old Dometic propane fridge and moved the end of the cabinet in-
Aft lift panel is trash. As you can see in the previous photo, there isn't a front lift panel at all. They must have broke it and then used the electrical conduit as a cheap fit to have something to wedge up in place. It holds the roof up, but makes it very hard to "raise the roof".
Previous owner tried to make some sort of flip out bunk and storage box under the front window-
Starting to tear everything apart-
Two coffees and two bloody's later-
I had two brand new lift panels built for me by All Terrain Camper. The hinges were garbage enough on the aft lift panel that I decided to not make my own. With the front non-existant, I had nowhere to start. I decided to bite the bullet and order brand new.
The vinyl is in good shape. There are a few rips that have been patched with silicone, but the camper is water-tight. I've had it popped up for the last two weeks and the thundershowers that have rolled through have proved the silicone is doing its job. However, I ordered a patch-kit from FWC to make sure it lasts.
Right now I'm figuring out exactly how I want to do the layout since I have a blank slate. I am going to re-insulate the walls, better than when it was new. I picked up white 2" beadboard for the paneling.
I will re-use some but not all of the existing cabinet. I want to keep the sink. Un-sure of the stove since I am more of a jet-boil chef. I would like to do a new storage area and battery box up front, and a better bunk on the right side that actually has storage underneath it.
