Hey everyone, my name is Megan, I live in Wisco. I just bought an old hunk of junk 1972 Shasta 1400 for a few hundred dollars. I have been dreaming of getting a camper for a few years now, and after hospitalization due to COVID that wiped away my credit and savings, I figure restoring a camper to join the family and enjoy my favorite state parks is more possible by slowly restoring a camper where the cost is spread out with lots of love and labor. Against near-all members and vintage enjoyers, I plan on modernizing it in almost every way from appliances to solar (and maybe an olive green wrap job). Sorry not sorry!
Anyway, I bought Vikx’ book yesterday and read through it, and have browsed a handful of threads here. I’ve done mostly DIY-home renovations in small scale, have several tools available, two neighbors that are skilled carpenters and a brother in law who has an electrical and welding background and is in the process of building a well at their new land up north, so I’m not totally alone.
I’m making this post because well…how bad *is it really*, what are my very first steps? I’m thinking it’s taking the skin off and rebuilding the rotted wood-is this doable in a backyard? Thank you SO much for your time!
