  • This is the story of a little forgotten popup camper. It was left neglected in a guys backyard. there was no tent, just the frame. started by cleaning out and getting rid of anything bad. then with my limited skills, I started the Restoration and have enjoyed the process.
    I hope you enjoy it also. Thanks for watching.

    I love the DIY who cares if it's off by a little bit as long as it does what it's supposed to theme this build has. It's like an "up yours" to the idea that everything has to be perfect to be nice. You nailed it, and I'm totally envious. Happy camping!

    Ross I must say I got a bit emotional watching this. I am so proud for you. Even though we have never met and live thousands of miles apart it has been a pleasure watching you do this project. Maybe, and that is a BIG maybe, some day we will meet up in a campsite with our DIY campers. I look forward to seeing videos of your adventures in the camper.

    • @rossdunn828
      @rossdunn828  2 года назад

      Thank you for taking time to watch. I thought the insulation would be more of a sound barrier than actual R-value. As it turns out it actually does keep it from changing temps so quickly. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    I absolutely love this!! This is perfect! I will begin my rebuild of my pop up this fall and this is very inspirational! I have a few questions if that’s ok. How does the metal panels do in the summer? Is it still rather comfortable with the AC? Also where did you find your windows?
    Again I love this build! Very awesome!

    • @rossdunn828
      @rossdunn828  3 года назад +1

      Hi Sarah, the metal roofing is what I used for the siding and it has worked well. I put some foam board insulation and then the paneling. So it does take a little time for it to get hot/ cold. But the A/C is the way to go in the summer! The windows are utility shed windows, when I bought them they were $30 a piece. If you have any more questions please let me know. I hope you enjoy building yours as much as I did mine.

      Hi Roger, thanks for watching the video! I didn’t weigh it but it pulls about the same as it did when it was a popup. So it’s pretty close to it’s original weight.

      Hi reneek, thanks for watching! The framing was 1x2’s covered with 2 foot wide metal siding. The insulation is 2 inch foam board. The interior walls are covered with 1/4” plywood. You could put in any size window but mine were small shed windows. Hope this answers some questions!

I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't be positive about you creating something with your own imagination and hard work. I'm cheering for you!
