Piece Of Crap Of The Week... Camper Interior? $1000?

My main concern is that the odometer is broken on these cabinets and doors. Something is fishy here...

I exchanged a few emails with him which was really the high point of my day. LOL... He went to the same school that all those other people did who say "Already gutted and ready for you to make it yours".... "The hard work is done".... You know the type. Anyhow he claims to have already removed the skin in order to replace rotten framing. As I said. None of this makes any sense to me. but then again I'm not a total idiot. I only have partial drain bammage.

Just for fun I think I will post my conversation with him. On one hand I feel sorry for people who are not in the know of how these things are built. On the other, I just can not deal with someone who is close minded and refuses to learn because they MUST be RIGHT all the time even when they are totally wrong.

Most people have no clue how to restore a camper trailer. Even experienced house builders think campers should be built with 2x4s and 2x6 boards a 1500 lb camper ends up weighing 4000 lbs. Some people try to remove rotten wood 1 piece at a time then scab on new boards and try to attach new walls to a rotten floor. The first camper trailer repair I did 43 years ago I had no clue what to do then, we all need to learn to do it the correct way. Your building a 1 room house with small boards. Take pictures of the old camper, make detailed drawings with dimensions, remove the aluminum, burn all the wood, start over, this is the best way for me. Sand blast the metal frame, rebuild brakes, bearings, new tires, prime, paint, then attach the new floor. Cabinets are no problem to build it is easy. I don't restore trailers to sell, I do it for US, the first one 40 years ago we had no children, next trailer we had 1 child, next we had 2 children, each time children grew larger we needs a different camper,  soon no children our next trailer was smaller mattress on wheels. As we got older toilet at 3am was a requirement not a luxury, now at 70 we need a bed so we no long have to crawl over each other at 3 pm to pee. I bought another $200 gutted camper but 2x4 boards are $10 each & 3/4" plywood for the floor $75 each, it will cost $5000 to restore this 17 ft camper. There are original factory floor plants online when restoring a camper from scratch I pick a floor plan we like best and make it our own with a REAL queen pillow top mattress not a 4" foam pad. Our next camper will NOT be factory original, it will be a mattress with a bathroom, no table, no sofa, no seats, kitchen will only be a country top with a sink with cabinets for storage. We live, cook, eat at the campground picnic table NOT inside a wooden box. We only go inside the camper to sleep & need a shower & toilet. Walls have Styrofoam insulating, AC & heater only needs to be small to heat & cool the camper. I lost count next camper restore will be number 13 or 14. A complete rebuild usually only takes me 2 months but I am getting old & very slow 1 hour work often exhausts me then I need a 2 hour nap.

Love the OSB floor?

I think as long as you censor out his name any any identifying information, it would be instructive to post it....and funny too.
