Nice looking Shasta. Can't wait to see it in person. Good luck on your trailer rebuilding adventure.

Ok, peeps. Setting here, pumpkins in place...

2bits,
How's the trailer rebuilding going for you?

Doing good so far, haven't worked on a camper of mine in over a month! I just moved the '63 Shasta into the shop today though and will be starting on it Sunday, going to bid a deck job tomorrow.

Just waiting for the next gathering and warmer weather

Beaver's Bend is coming up and Lisa and I are planning an Arkansas tour later in the year also! Would be cool to hang out again!

Looks like we will be making it to Beavers Bend.. may be sleeping in the back of the suburban, Not!!!!!
Looking forward to making new friends and having fun....

Some threads just wait around in the background hoping for a bump.. so here it is BUMP
What's everyone been doing when not camping ??
Here, working on camper trying to get it campable for cooler weather in Sept (almost there ).. and fishing at other times..

I am hanging in there myself working on my Play Mor and making great progress. This is the build thread

Not sure when it will be done, I know I need to dedicate at least a week if not two, to getting the Shasta painted. I guesstimate I'll camp in the Shasta throughout Sept then, move to the Play Mor and sell the Shasta and begin work on the next one, probably the '62 Scotty Silverside.

I am going to visit my father in Colorado in a couple weeks so that will be good times for sure too.

So I am new here, and am in Galveston County TX. So here's my story.

I have a 2004 F150 4x4 that I am doing an engine swap on with a fresh crate motor, the original 5.4L 3V died the way most of them do. While funds and energy to get this job done are being saved up, I am at the same time working on designing and building a foamie truck camper for this. The concept is I hope simple.

#1. Lightweight, I am hauling this with a 1/2 ton truck, not like I can haul a traditional truck camper.
#2. Provides the basics. A bed, air conditioning, a place for a toilet etc...

I am moving up from tent camping, so I have the full load of tenting gear. Coleman stove, heaters, zodi shower etc... I am going to be re-using as much as possible.

Aside from camper work, and camping, I work my butt off on the job, and then work more at home because my wife and I are doing a home remodel on a shoestring, meaning I get to do most of the labor...
