Just recently picked up this little camper. This is my first trailer and wanted to start with something small and easily towable with my classic Jeep. About two weeks ago I started to gut out the interior. I pulled everything out. It was cramped and poorly built, lots of unnescesary use of space. My intentions were to just redo the inside, but after pulling out the benches and cabinets I noticed the floor had some rot around the edges so I pulled that. The top mold of the shell sagged about two inches on the left so I pulled apart the two pieces this way I could adjust and level out the entire trailer. Pulled the
windows and door. I think I’m going to get rid of the pop up and replace with a huge skylight. For me the top is heavy and bulky, it’s not sturdy and is a pain to push up and down.
I’ve started to sand all holes to prepare for filler and repair. I’ve patched up small screw holes with bondo and I made a few sheets of
fiberglass to repair 3 good sized cut outs that were covered with vents. I’ve got the cut outs grinded and cleaned about 2-3 outside the cut area. Now I’m ready to attach the sheets I made but not sure if I should attach from the inside or outside then begin to layer more mat and resin. Any advice and suggestions are appreciated.
I’m not exactly trying to restore to original stock, but I’d like to stay somewhat period correct. I’ve opened up a can of worms and there’s no looking back. My goal is to have her up and running my March. Thanks to this forum I think I can manage all repairs and upgrade myself.
