Hi All. Back at it with the final video in the canvas sage. Part 3 covers installing the canvas to the four wheel camper and some discussion of finishing items. I also talk about how much the entire project cost. Hope you enjoy. Let me know if you have any questions . Best - Tim

Old FWC, granby maybe. very cheap $150 https://denver.craigslist.org/rvs/d/pop-up-longbed-camper/6409433539.html

Ohh man, I don't know about that. While I do have very little money, I have even less time!! Need to finish my own build first :)

tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow. I will post it tomorrow. I have about 1/2 of it done. The video is this weekends project. Any specific questions you want me to cover?

As I thought about your project more it occurred to me whatever FWC is doing to secure flatbeds campers to flatbed trucks could possibly work for your perfect fit base. Might give them or a dealer a call to see what is going on. I never see any chains and brackets hanging off those flatbed...

Looks good. certainly will be incredibly tight to back into! How do you plan to attach the floorpack/camper to the truck?

Congrats on the purchase. Looks like it is going to be a fun project! Way to get right into it. Looks like poky and shellback both gave some great advice on bed pull out. It is a pretty straightforward process but I still had some issues with it (never posted about it). That big sheet of...

Looks like you are moving right along. Glad you had a good trip to 5star. Its pretty incredible to find all sort of things. Can't believe they had two old fwc sitting around. I am sure someone would want to buy those and do the same thing you are doing. Just to echo what some else said, I...

Thanks 3pin! Glad I can contribute.

Where are the Wander The West stickers? I want one!

Thanks so much! You are making stellar progress with your build, way to dive in head first!

Thanks so much. Yes, I hope it helps others! Glad you are joining us now! Thanks poky!! Glad you find I covered most of the details well. And yes I know how fortunate am I to have awesome facilities. So even more kudos to you for pulling it together in your situation. I have no idea how much...

How to sew the canvas material! Well, it's finally here. After talking about it for approximately 14 months this year I have something to show for the major project that was the canvas sewing. If you haven't already seen, a few post prior I made part 1 of the video that discussed the different...

Thanks poky, what I lack in progress and craftsmanship I can make up for in organization :) Slowed down yet again :( Took a nasty fall on a surfboard in Mexico. Broken shoulder blade. Should make a full recovery but tough to do any camper renovations or use the camper in this state :(. But at...

New table of contents added to post 1. I will continue to update that from here out. Hope it is helpful to those that find it down the road. - Tim

Go Go Go!!! You are in it to win it now! Way to dive right in. This is sure to be another amazing rebuild! I'd say go for the new floorpack too. It is the only thing I did not do before, and I have done so much now I kind of wish I just went for it.

Glad you enjoyed. The TOC is a great idea. Maybe someday. Let me know if you have any questions. Looking forward to seeing what you put together.

I believe FWC makes what you are looking for. Check out my third post in my build http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/11945-84-fleet-09-tacoma-project/ and you will see a photo of the brackets that get mounted to the bed mounting points. Let me know if you have any questions.

Those jack stands are terrifying, aren't they! I still use mine, every time I do I swear I am going to buy different ones but then the camper is on the truck and I forget about it again. I swear someone had a spare window somewhere around here. I can't remember what member or maybe I am...

Make sure you check out Poky's build too. http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/12116-new-build-1981-grandby-to-become-a-hawk/ We was always kind enough to stay about two months ahead of me and figure out a lot of the hard parts before I reached them :) His is pretty much done now. I've...

Congrats on the new camper. Glad you are enjoying my build page. Spoiler alert, I'm still not done :) Let me know if you have any questions. Check out my videos too, I think you'll enjoy them if you are enjoying the writing. - Tim

I'd love to put that rack on my old fleet!! I am right up the road in Boulder. I'll send you a PM.

Thanks! That is what I am going for. Glad you found it informative. The next video is already approaching 20min ;) but there is a lot of details to cover so I hope people enjoy it. My audience is anyone who wants to learn, not so much entertainment, so I expect people will just watch bits...

70! A great accomplishment. Congratulations. I couldn't agree more about taking the test runs before making the final windows. I made a ton of paper templates as I figured all the folds and seams out. I also borrow a domestic machine and just made some simple seams to get acquainted with...
