It all started with a hunting buddy wanting his old camper out of his yard. He asked if I wanted it, sure I'll take anything for free. After thinking it may be nothing but a scrap heap, I got to looking into what it was and now I'm hooked. It is completely gutted, and i mean completely. Just the shell, frame (whats not rotted at the back) and the linoleum that refuses to turn loose. I know I will be here a lot asking questions and advice. Looks like a great bunch of knowledgeable people here. One of my first quests is to get a title to it. From a week of research, I'm thinking (i shouldn't do that too much) that it is a 70-71. I guess my first question will be is what do you all think?

That is certainly gutted! The good news is that now you can do whatever you want with it. And that by the time you're done, you may well qualify as a journeyman carpenter! Congrats and good luck. It may be only 10 feet long, but you can get a whole heck of a lot in that 10 feet.

I sure don't miss seeing rotten wood. But that sure has saved you a lot of demo work.

it definitly has. luckily, or maybe my downfall is that i can see potential in things. its gonna be a trip, but hopefully with the help of some members here ill have it pulled off by spring. the good thing is i know my way around with all kinds of tools. The neighbors never know what is going to pop up in my back yard, be it dead critters gettin cleaned or something like this.
