Rough shape is putting it nicely. The skin, the under carriage and the cabinets inside are all we can salvage. but considering this camper is highly collectible I have seen them just as bad sell for over 1,000 . We paid 300

I like it. It will be great when it is all fixed up. The parts that are in good shape are the important ones. Have fun and can't wait to see it all done.

Will be watching to see how it unfolds. Good luck and bet you will have tons of fun (and headaches) with the project.
Thanks for the link to watch.Bank of America is THE godfather of Hell with Wells Fargo running neck and neck. When the world ends the only things that will be left are cockroaches, Walmart, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Not necessarily in that order. The order remains to be seen.

I may not be into campers - but I love seeing someone take something that might be considered trashed and resurrect it - shall be watching for sure!!
Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.
Decluttering isn't just simplifying your life. It's having a vision, setting new priorities and using those notions to get rid of obstacles.

Looking forward to watching you turning her (I'm guessing it a "she") into a babe.

Woohoo, I finally got some followers ..
Yes it's a her but I haven't got a name yet. I won't name her until she is done. I'm thinking I might have to have a contest to help me choose the coolest name. I'm totally worn out from cleaning out the garage to make room for the work. We had to take down work benches and everything. I also have to finish up a furniture rehab I was right in the middle of. One thing at a time right?

Congrats to you!! Good Luck
(We restored a 1990 GranVille, Class C. Actually, it's a restoration in progress. We just replaced the black tank, last week.)
Hang in there I've bookmarked your blog.
