Your series is one of the best popup camper makeover series that I've watched. I recently purchased a 1985 Coleman popup for $500, currently in the middle of repairing the roof.
This is awesome. My main issue with renovating mine is the fact that idk what some of these pieces are called. Where can i find that trim piece on the roof that holds the side wall to the camper and other hardware?
We reused all the metal trim pieces (I scraped, sanded, primed, and painted them all with Rustoleum spray paint). We did buy all new screws as most were rusted out. We took an old scre to Home Depot and found the closest to it. We mostly used 1/2", 3/4", and 1" screw in #6, #8, and #10 depending where they were. You could try RV stores, but if it's older, they may not have any.
On the roof I used products I already had: Kilz dark base exterior primer (it's gray) and Sherwin-Williams exterior low sheen paint in Tricorn Black. It is the trim color on our house.
Thanks for this, I have a 97 jayco that i'm starting the restore on now. I'm going to see what other popup camper videos that you have.
Sure! I have the entire renovation of the camper.
Really enjoying the restoration. These are great campers
Thank you. We are having so much fun and learning a lot!

What type of screws did you use for the roof?
I will link them here. They worked great and are self tapping. www.amazon.com/dp/B00GYKGMC0?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Hello! We are in the process of rebuilding the same camper. What primer and paint did you use on your roof?
