Vintage Camper Makeover

I love camping, but not roughing it.  We had a motorhome for years and loved traveling all over the place.  It was tons of fun.  That travel-camping bug rubbed off on my two sons and they both love the outdoors and roughing it.  However – my oldest son decided to upgrade to a little less roughing it.  He bought this wonderful little vintage camper and totally remodeled it.  I love this little treasure.  I thought you might like seeing it too.

He lived in Oregon and bought this little cutie for a couple hundred dollars.  It needed a lot of work.

All the outside was repaired and then painted.

All new wiring and plumbing too.

Every inch was gone over.

The inside is a little doll house.  I love how he continued the original vintage colors.

The double bed folds up as a futon sofa.  There is a single bunk above also.

Potty and shower room with all waterproof paneling.

Air conditioning and even a place for a small toaster oven.

New Refrigerator & Microwave too.

This is how he arrived in Phoenix, with one of his motorcycles in the back of the truck.

He sold his house and now lives here, we are so excited to have him close to us all.  Brothers are such great friends, these two are only a year apart and always so close.  He gave this little cutie to his brother.

  When he got here, he decided to buy himself a toy-hauler trailer that is much bigger.  He has lots of toys and wanted to have a place to live and still take his toys with him.  He works from home, so he can live anywhere.

He is an electronics engineer mostly designing and running wifi networks for soccer stadiums in England.  I took this off of his facebook page – –
Twickenham Stadium in London is one of the places that I run the wifi networks. It is the 2nd largest football stadium in England.. Andrew and Andy are there right now with their boys watching the Arizona Cardinals game and sending me pics via the wifi.. There are 82,000 people there using it.. Cool beans

His new toy has two ramps, one in the back and one up front on the side.  This one in the back is perfect for both of his motorcycles and his desk area.  There’s also a sofa and full kitchen and bathroom with a large shower in the middle.  Then refrigerator and washer and dryer and more room for toys up front.

Now these two can be off camping together like old times.
