the plan is to make something like this, with a lower door as well.

I managed to score a second hand tent like this one.

originally my camper would have looked like this, when I got it the tent was mouldy and ripped to shreds, not worth saving.

Goodies

managed to score some goodies for the van

A stainless steel two burner gas insert that was missing some bolts and knobs, managed to find some stuff that fits.

An 82 litre water tank, its got a small hole in the top, the good thing is I can weld plastic.

kitchen

The kitchen presents a challenge, everything has to fit under the slide out beds so the kitchen had to be made in 3 parts, I needed to make some boxes with draws in them so I started with this old chest of draws.











after some jigsaw cutting I ended up with this.















and it all pulls aprt and sits on the floor for travelling










I am making a benchtop out of malamine that will extend 350mm out from the left hand side to provide room for a 2 burner gas stove.

Layout

The original layout was ok but having access to some caravan and motorhome parts meant I had to get creative.

picture of what the orignal would have looked like.















Plan of what I intend to do.



















how it's looking so far

Guting it

started by emptying the body out, the fibreglass body and ply floor are ok.

197? Camperlands camper trailer rebuild

Hi my name is Steve and I bought an old camper trailer in rough condition from e-bay for $138.00, the tent was useless and I just happened to have a similar tent from a modern camper taking up space in the shed.
