Basic Ocelot Shell Build

[trailrider]

Here is a basic functional build we did on an Ocelot shell. We wanted our camper to be versatile and functional. We spend most of the time outside except if the weather is bad. We wanted to be able to sleep 4 people and eat inside. I also wanted to be able to put mountain bikes inside the camper. Basically I built two benches on each side at window height ledge to take advantage of its width. They also can be used as benches for sitting and relaxing.





I have a Isotherm Crusie CR85 DC compressor refrigerator (3ft3) that has a small freezer. A porta-potti fits underneath it.



This bench can be slid out wider for sleeping. I was limited in length due to the refrigerator. A short person can sleep diagonally. There feet hang off a little. I am going to make a removable

Side bed extended. Can walk between to exit without disturbing other person.


In bad weather we use TV trays to cook and eat off of.



My benches are only attached with a few screws and can easily be removed and turned back to stock. My mods should not hurt resale value.

nice - we went super basic too (although we had ATC build it out) for many of the same reasons...just threw down on a yakima fullswing for our bikes -- hopefully it's worth it.

congrats!
