This'll do...

Picked this up off of craigslist yesterday:





1978 Shasta 160 pop-up

If nothing else, It'll make a good base when I decide I'm ready to build something, but for the time being it should satisfy my itch to camp.

It'll do till you get what you really want....

...And you can get a few more states colored in on your map!

If I got one of those, I'd throw away the canvas, build some fold-able hard walls, and have a really neat, leak proof, camper.

It would be smaller, but I don't need all that sleeping space for me and the dog.

If it were in better shape, I'd probably put some effort into a hard sided camper conversion, but there's plenty of hidden and not so hidden rot, as well as just the issues you would expect fold from a 30 year trailer.

This will make an interesting restoration. When do you plan to be done?

Funding/workshop space permitting:

Rip the popup off of it,
Blast the frame and give it a good coat of paint,
Save the sink/stove/icebox/bed cushions/power converter and awning

Add some stabilizer jacks, and build a modified version of Glen-L's Sequoia

But for now, I'll just use it for what it is, a cheap popup camper.

Bobby, that's great. Will you be bringing it to Loyd Park?


I looked at the Sequoia plans and thought they were pretty cool.

I should have it at Loyd Park.

I've been looking at the sequoia plans for years. I just want it a bit wider and taller(Full standy) than the stock plans.

I had a popup that had a bad top so I removed the topbeds and canvas and saved the whole bottom part. I framed up the wall and top with 1/8 in plywood outside and inside, made shelves, installed a small fridge. Then on the outside I would lay a heavy coat of paint and lay muslim cloth in the wet paint then coat over that with more paint. When I had finished the top and sides like that it was just like fiberglassing it, I have not had a leak anywhere. I retained the origanial door. Dulcimer Man

I should have it at Loyd Park.

It will be different seeing you in that but at least you will be camping!

Hope to see you out there Bobby!
