Newish to the forum. The past 2 years I had been working on restoring my 1965 shasta in the vision of what my wife wanted her dream camper to be. The shape that the camper was in when we got it was already partially gutted and completely rotten. There was nothing Salvageable but it was fine as we were not planning to reuse any of it. I just finished it about a month and a half ago and it has been so much fun.
I tried to think of everything and make this camper self sufficient. I have 60 gallons of fresh water capacity. 40 gallon Grey water tank, 10 gallon black water. 10 gallon hot water heater.
I also but 3 deep cycle batteries with a 1500 watt inverter with solar. I can run everything in the camper without a generator.
I put a wet bath in it and a outside shower. Opted to put a full size mattress in and scratch the dinette area. We always eat outside under a canopy. I even managed to put a small countertop dishwasher in there
If you guys have any questions about how I did anything feel free to ask.

This was our first time out with it at Hodag 2022 country music festival. My son has the red and white 1970 friendship town and country that we rebuilt. One the left side my friend has a unrestored 1958 Alaskan truck camper. I also have one I'd like to restore some day

Thanks for the photos. Looks very comfortable.
The project is almost as much fun as the camping.
