Fixing the roof wouldn't be hard at all. Sno Seal it. I believe that's the stuff.

And I throw moth balls underneath mine during the summer. Seems to keep the critters away. And something else I have found to work over the Summer Months, is buy some cheap dryer sheets and spread them throughout the camper. Keeps bugs and other stuff out. It really works.

Dryer sheets couldn't hurt the smell.

I'm thinking about ripping out that table and replacing it with a folding table and a couple of chairs. That would give it a lot more room.

Also I'm wondering what is below that lower bunk bed. Maybe I can rip that open then make it storage space ?.?

Old camper than 'Huntress and I bought years back had the sleeper/table removed and a dinette set in its' place...we took that out and rebuilt benches and a convertible table back into the original footprint.

Wow ... I just got off the phone with an old friend. He saw this thread (he's not a member, just reads the forum) and knew my handle. This guy was close friends with the owner of the trailer and helped him build the deck, gen house, wood shed, all that stuff.

It sure is a small world

Rocket I think the water tank will be under one bunk bed, and youll have storage under the other.

Also, that table top comes of and lays there in the middle of the dinette area and turns it into a bed, so keep the table top at least to use like that.

I agree with N2. I wouldnt move it, Id just clean er up real well and I think youll have a great little camp, with room for a guest or two.

Congrats! It does look like a good little project, and will give you something to do, as well as get you there to get some scouting in too!

You going to have a good time with the camper and the new club. I thought about checking out that club but I was too cheap to pop the $1,000.

Not to hijack, but...


When I was in Puerto Rico, in '82, I wandered into Old San Juan one day, just looking around. Ended up going into a jewelry store and buying some stuff. The clerk I dealt with was an American girl, few years older than me. During the course of my conversation with her, we discovered that 7 years earlier, when she had been in the USAF, she actually worked for my Dad...she was undergoing a lot of different things at the time, and it was my Dad who pushed for her discharge for the good of the service. Contrary to what you'd think, she was actually very appreciative that he had done so, and applied her employee discount to my purchases!

I've seen a bunch of pictures over the years, from my Dad's early days in the AF when he worked on the flightlines. One picture, in particular, shows a group of 14 men posing near an F-100, at Eglin AFB. My Dad told me that all of the men in the picture except for him and one other guy were killed one day in an accident on the flightline that involved an aircraft exploding. The two of them were walking away from the airplane when the explosion happened, and the other guy had turned back towards the plane to say something to one of the crew still working around it. He caught a piece of shrapnel dead-center in the face. Dad told me that a long series of operations had been necessary to even begin to get the right side of the man's face to actually face "forward" again. That happened around '63-'64. In 1986, I was working patrol with the Andalusia, Al Police Dept, I stopped a car for speeding on the south side of town. I had never met the man, and the only pic I'd ever seen of him was before the accident that disfigured him so badly, but the nature of the scar and disfigurement made it immediately obvious to me who this man was. He recognized and remembered my last name, from my nametag...he was on his way, all those years later, to a surgical center for his 30th operation.

Last year, I left the rig I'd been on for 15 years to start on a newbuild drillship. One of the Captains on the ship was retired USCG. In talking to him, we discovered that his best friend, who is retired now and living in Oregon, was my CO in '83 onboard a ship I was stationed on at the time.

Yep...it's a small world!

Well how about that ... I found some info online about this camper and it confirms that the beds fold out and the camper can sleep 6

I was sitting in a jeep in Cambodia in 1970 when a truck pulled up and stopped to asked directions. I had a Confederate flag on my boonie hat, one question led to another, he was my second cousin. We were both at his grandfather's funeral the year before.

A brief update ... price is $400 instead of $300 but that's ok. I've got the scoop on the camper from two guys that knew the man that owned it. The roof does not leak, they put roofs over all of the campers out there. He died last September and up to that point everything was working. This might just be a cleanup only project ...

Well it doesn't look like I can easily move this thing so I'm gonna try to find a way to clean it up on site. I've got a 1KW gen I can take plus a pressure washer which I really need for certain parts. Problem is the water source for the PW ... Does someone make a filter I can put on a hose to put in a creek for the PW water source?

Fine just like it is.

Any ideas on the pressure washer?

Just wrap some screen around intake and tie off with wire. Make a float out of a milk jug so the intake stays out of the mud. Use a couple of bamboo sticks, make a "X", hang hose over it, this will anchor it in one place.

Thanks Glen

And we're off... First day. Cleaned out all the junk, pulled apart all cushions and pulled down all drapes. Set everything up to get the full force of a couple bug bombs

Plastic around base, bombed underneath too

Lmao. It took me a minute to figure out that's a chair. At first it looked like you got awefully violent with some type of animal.

Haha! Just an old beat up chair

Went to Gates Cleaners and asked for advice on the cushions. Very helpful folks there. I took all the covers off the foam and washed them with Tide in cold water. I went to a laundromat so I could use one of those large load washers. This weekend I'll tackle cleaning the foam with warm soapy water. Dang these things stank

Man, you are going to have that thing to nice for a hunting trailer.
