I've worked on a few and now I'm restoring a 1970 campster. I'll post the build here. Right now I'm recovering from sinus surgery so I have some time not being able to work.

I'm assuming you'll gut this one? Or are you gonna crack it?

I'm assuming you'll gut this one? Or are you gonna crack it? This one belongs to a client. She's been waiting patiently in line. No gutting for this one. LOL... We tore out all the carpeting that was glued on the walls. I'm going to insulate it and put birch paneling in. Should look nice and be a little cozier. Other than that just a few repairs to the gadgets and lights, a few tweeks on the pop up and a few new gaskets. Also going to paint it. I'll keep posting progress photos here. |

It should be cool. Fiberglass trailers sweat like crazy but I'm guessing it has a top knot the raises up for ventilation.

Something you'll be wanting to watch for is how I use a Joggle Stick to match the shape of the paneling to the fiberglass shell. It's the same way they make bulk heads that fit perfectly into the hull of a boat.

HI Friends,
I love the idea of birching the interior.
Gonna be everything you said it would, Larry.
