68 Siesta
Advanced Member
I've been pestered by a couple wtw members to start a thread on the restoration of my 1968 Siesta hard side popup and the mods I have made to get it to better fit the newer truck. Its been a project I have been working on for several years now. I first got the camper in 2002 and camped in it for about 7 years without any other work than routine maintenance. If there is interest in seeing anything I don't include a picture of, I'll try to get something uploaded. I'm not very good at taking progress pictures because I hate to stop working and pick up the camera.
When I first acquired the camper it was sitting on a 1987 F250.
When the camper got to the stage of "junk it or fix it" I chose to fix it. I tediously tore off all the contact paper on the inside walls and repainted, put in a new floor and countertop, built drawers where a hanging closet used to be, added a freshwater and battery monitor and 12 volt power source, and painted the outside to match my old truck. Again, I'm horrible at progress pictures, but here are some shots of the final product.
