The TARDIS - A Four Wheel Camper Build

BTW, the term CBOA is a term of endearment and not derogatory in the forum I grew up on.

Yeah, I got that now.

What does BTW stand for? Just kidding!

Thanks pods8!

I am so close to doing a home build, just lacking the extra time to build. So I will buy a shell and build out the interior.

*Looks at half built shell in garage and newborn on couch* Probably the smart move.

If you have the $$$ to buy a shell and go from there - it's a lot easier. I took mine down to the frame - and it took me about 200 labor hours to build it. Considering I had the time but not the $$$, it was the only option we had. Including the purchase price of the used camper, we're into it for around $5500. We replaced everything except the roof, fabric top, windows, door, frame, and plywood floor (and I mean [u]everything[\u] else - siding, insulation, wiring, water & propane plumbing, appliances, upholstery, blah blah blah).

There is a thread over at wander the west detailing most of it.

One of the best things I have learned from your build, just how much time you have put into it. Thanks again for keeping track of your build hours.

Not sure if I have a use for this in my build, but I though somebody might find it useful.

Anybody have any advice on water filters?

I am worried about it freezing, well it will be frozen regularly, so I am thinking about a small filter that I could easily pump dry each night.

Any advice or direction would be great.
