Found a smokin deal on a 70's 13ft Boler here in Corpus Christi for $600.00 dollars. Most of you that know us, know that most of our family members have their own fiberglass camper. This one was purchased for my brother and his family. Here are the pics of what it looked like when we got home with it.

You had me worried for a moment! Looks like it won't take much to get it ready for camping. Will we get to meet your brother and family at any rallies?

Have fun helping brother on his project!

added a/c and a microwave this week. And installing some custom windows in the next few days. Looks like the floor is solid, no soft spots.

Hey Phil;

Nice find and nice work.

Do you have more detailed pics of the A/C install or a write-up, as that's exactly where I'm planning to put mine.

Also thinking about a dorm style fridge in the opposite closet. Are you planning on a fridge?
