My grandfather has passed down (for $350) his home built camper. it was built from plywood on an old lawn mower trailer. I don't have any pics of it yet, but here is a list of things i want to do.
recover roof (flat roofing tin?)
add one, maybe two, roof vents (no power yet so just the pop up style)
add some foam insulation to the interior roof
Flooring (carpet, sticky vinyl tile, rolled linoleum)
build a fold down bed frame for air mattress
add second window on opposite side for cross breeze
convert wooden door to a camper style screen door
cover exterior with siding (whats been used and tried? was thinking of using the sheets of plastic they sell for custom shower walls, the glue on kind...)
storage cabinets
fold out awning (wood supports with maybe a tarp or canvas stretching the gap) with fold out grill table underneath
future:
add battery bank with solar charger (one maybe two lights (in and out) and a single speaker radio)
out door shower holding tank on top no Grey water collection
I am looking for similar builds to research but have no idea what to search for. help pointing me in the right direction would be helpful. Basically I am trying for a camper that lets you have a place to sleep and a dry place to wait out the rain. But camping is for time outdoors having a fire, talking with friends, relaxing with a beer under the shade, and I don't want something that makes you want to be inside more than out. basic necessities.
thanks
