Camper repairs: 7/27/2019

I decided I would document some of what I’ve been working on with the camper. The camper came to me from my friend Joe. Joe had the camper on his truck when a driver not paying attention rear-ended him. The damage was primarily to the right rear of the camper. Joe got a new camper, and I’m repairing the old one to use.

A closeup of the passenger side

Looking at the passenger side corner picture, where I’ve cut away most of the outside of the camper, it looks pretty severe. I think the replacement will be simpler than what was there. I *hope* I can do that? A simpler wooden frame with a plywood skin. The current setup is more compartmentalized than I need I think, as it planned for an internal generator I don’t plan on having. I might be able to place some plastic storage permanently in there though, heavy duty locking bins, which would help hold shape also

The Milwaukee Multitool

I’ve used quite a few tools to disassemble the side of the camper, I’ve got a few of the Milwaukee M18 and M12 Fuel system. The Multitool, which is just a fairly simple oscillating tool, has been incredibly useful. My nails are O-P-I Vampsterdam Gel if anyone cares!

I'm a middle aged woman working in tech. I have varied interests, and have done a lot of things in my life. I love animals, especially the dogs I've had and have now. My foray into art has been my welding art, primarily folk art. Welding has been a great release for me, it's hard to focus on your day to day problems when working with things that are thousands of degrees.
