So we got a camper. New to us, and almost new for reals... camper and truck setup from a nice local guy. Camper is an
All Terrain Camper Puma model, on top of a regular cab Silverado.

| Camper! City of Rocks. |
Its a shell model with solar prewire - so basically the interior walls are finished, it has a bed setup, and wiring is run thru the wall for solar. Otherwise its empty.
 |
Removed some carpeting on the riser things. Athena taking out carpet staples forever. Turns out McGuckins sells like a $30 little Japanese tiny nail remover. We did not get that.
|
First item was to make some gear storage cabinets... seemed like a relatively easy first project to make sure I still known how to saw stuff.
 |
| Test Fit! Looks good. Passenger and Driver are different sizes. |
Cabinets are... sort of simple. For storing cams and gear, so we added some aluminum bars across the top to hand stuff off of. Then a simple door, padded back, and should be good.
 |
| Testing Cams... moved upper bar up an inch or so since it had too much space. kept other bars in place - new separation seems good. |
We opted to stain most of the interior wood, and add a top coat to help protect it. Tried a spray top coat polyurethane thing... coating is too thin. Will use a brushed something for benches and other high use stuff.
 |
| Staining... and then top coat. |
 |
Cabinets! Still need backing with padding so Cams don't rattle, and dooooors. Also going to try and inlay a cam lobe into the door so that might be cool if it works.
|
 |
| Model for now. |
Next is finishing cabinets and starting fridge/electrical cabinet. Turns out respirators for painting are hard to buy now days... so waiting a while on that. Ordered most of the electrical stuff... should have working 12V system in a couple weeks.
