Camper frame and assembly

  The original plan was to use my existing 4X8 trailer and slide the camper on. But a I found a bare frame cheap with a title. It just needed to be cleaned, painted and new tires. Assembly of the camper body was like putting together a piece of IKEA furniture.




Drop axle
Stripped down frame 








Cleaned with new fenders, ready to be painted. The axle was
moved forward 6 inches.
Painted with test fitting of  decking boards

Finished frame with epoxy coated floor









Side walls being attached


Roof section



Side pop out showing clearance from tire. This was a concern of
mine because it was designed for a different trailer frame.

Side showing fender in the up position. 
Fender folded down






Rear view with all lids on.  

    Now I need to do all the detail work, weather stripping, latches and the other stuff I forgot about.  The roof and side popout canvas will be done over the winter.
