The rebuild of a 1994 Northern Lite 8-4

[trackhead]

I have a similar Canadian truck camper, a 1993 Travellaire fiberglass camper. I did the same thing, gutted 100% of the interior and rebuilt.

Any updates on this? I just bought a 8-4, and looking for some ideas.

I glued in a window, cleaned it a bit... Ive been pretty busy. If i had to do it again, i wouldnt have removed the foam. Part of the shell is sagging where the damage occured.

I might sell this project as I just dont have time for it...

 

[The Bartender]

sorry to hear. it looks like it would have been a great project if you had the time.

What truck were you going to carry it with?

[The Bartender]

thanks. I wasn't sure if it was a Colorado or 1500.
How tall is the platform that you used to raise the 8'4 to clear the cab? 6 inches?

Yeah approximately 6". It's the trail boss model which is a bit higher too, so I have to add some blocks under the jacks

I removed the front tie down points. So I could probably get away with 4"... I also considered going with the "decked" system for added storage.
