She is going to look good when you have her done and properly snugged into place. Are you going to upgrade the components to a more modern AC and such?

The truck camper has brake/turn signal lights on it so when wired to the truck you have working lights on the camper. If the AC works and I was told that it does then I will keep it. If not I'll replace it. My plan is to remove the interior ( gently ) so I can reuse the period correct pieces. All the cabinets and doors are real wood and I plan to strip/stain/refinish. The countertop is shot so that will be replaced. The flooring is awful that's gotta go I may use a floating laminate floor. The floor is rotted at the entry door and my guess so are the " wings " which are the two back corners. So the bathroom will come out along with the corner closet so I can really see what's going on. Remember this camper is 43 years old. Today I removed the camper from the truck man what a scary act that was. These camper jacks wiggle like a $20.00 crack whore
. As soon as I got the camper off the truck I ran to Home Depot to purchase supplies to make three saw horses. The camper is now supported buy the three saw horses and the three camper jacks. She's rock solid now. My wife went into the interior for the first time today and didn't vomit so that's a good sign
I have all of the original paperwork that came with the truck camper when it was purchased new in 1968 how cool is that ? A 3 ring binder just full of all kinds of manuals and instructions. I probably won't post any updates until next year I just have to finish other projects ahead of this one. Sorry
