This weekend I got the interior done with hopes of getting it on the truck.I did change it up a little I decided to take the back of the couch out and put a little table in,use the fold down legs from the back of the couch on the table to make the extra bed if needed..

Sure,I just went to Ebay and bought 4 -36" 30lb lift struts and 8 offset brackets,really didn't have a part number but the vendor was "strut your stuff here" and it was all under $100

That does look really SHARP... I kind of wish I'd painted mine to match my truck...

Yep OSU that's it, I think when this is all said and done,I'm going to put "sleeves" through the conduit but for now it's just 5/16 bolts.I wasn't sure how it was going to work out so I did the easiest and simplest thing I could do and I'm pretty happy with it.It's kind of amazing to me how much...

I also finished the 12 v power,I'm only having 2 L E D lights inside an amber door light and 2 small spot lights out back and I'm putting the battery in that little space under the drawer section by the door,I'm not doing(at this point) any kind of charging system,I'll just use a battery charger...

The struts help out great!! I have the front and back at different measurements and theres a reason for that.I have the back top spread out farther to make room for the channel for the awning but the front closer at the top because the way the roof sits,with nothing real level or square the left...

Here's where I'm at now.I started the cabinets,I had a old piece of finished table I thought i'd do the front with but when I tried to match a section,well it didn't match so I painted the whole front white and trimmed it in alum. There again in hindsight i wish i would've just used the same...

I've been working on it a lot and had it popped up now for about a week an a half and no problems with the lift bars,I did put a pin through them and I also put 30lb struts,which really helps,I'll post some pictures in the next couple days.i've been real busy with the interior.I also put the...

I can see the advantages and disadavantages.I think they look great and I would think they would be easier to patch and paint if needed.I did a tag along 13' Scamp and the fiberglass was easier (for me) to work with than trying to get all the little dings out of my old thin alumiumn Grandby and...

Looks GREAT,can't wait to see it on the truck....

When did they start using fiberglass? Whats the weight difference between glass and aluminumn?? I've never seen a fiberglass one but from the pic,it looks very modern an clean..

Sounds like a great trip.I see ya hit all the new popular recreation areas…LOL

Thanks guys I'm going to order some struts this weekend of that auction site and I think I'm going to try 1/4" off sets brackets.One of my concerns were that I wanted to put an awning on the back so I have to make room for that with these struts.I would like to see a pic with the awning out with...

Those bars seem pretty stable,I have them pinned when popped up.The back is great cause you're standing right there and you can get a good hold,the fronts going to have to have some sort of handle cause of the leverage of standing back because of the bed.I'm going to put some struts on as soon...

I like it,saying that I haven't used it yet but it feels heavy enough.I think I asked a question on here once about what kind of material was used and 18oz VCP was one of the answers.I bought some samples from www.seattlefabrics.com and I liked the 18oz but its $14.99 a yd without shipping from...

I learned a lot making that liner (1) sew the screens and windows first then cut the windows out (2) make it about 6" wider than you need it ,you can cut that off after the trim strip goes on. My old liner was 26" wide and that's what I made this one but that didn't leave me enough room room to...

I still have a lot of work to do but those panels were really stressing me out because this old camper is twisted somewhere an the lift panels was not letting that roof sit right,these bars I seem to have a little wiggle room..

I was thinking about using 30lb gas struts as assists,and probably will.i just want to find out what kind of brackets everyone is using,straight,off set or what.

Got a lot of work done on it this weekend,I got the liner all tucked in,I have a couple puckers here and there but turned out alright. I finally did it I did away with the pop up panels and used 3/4" conduit.I still need to clean these up but I'm real happy how it turned out. I did the same fold...

The old alum. is so thin,it crushes very easy,I put 4- 1/4" bolts down though the top,I didn't use any pop rivets and I'm still going to put something along the front but I haven't decided what yet.Those pop up panels that I made are of concern to me because the front one doesn't "pop" like it's...

When it rains it pours!! Here's the back of my frame,i thought it looked odd popped up Other than take it all apart,I thought I would use 1/8" angle on top bolted through and 1/8" along the front which I didn't do yet. I guess worst case'It'll make a nice truck cap!!

My old liner must have leaked a little over the years especially around the lift panels because they got damp and rotted but I've been though many rain storms and I never saw it leak.There was never any seem sealer on it.I'm going to put some on this liner.I've used seem sealer a lot on...

Awe, Thats the Phoenix camper design,I didn't realize that when I found that video-- Still pretty cool
