Hi everyone! My name is Jim and I currently reside in West Michigan. I have a lovely wife of 5 years, and a 14 month old daughter, as well as another daughter due in August!

My wife and I both grew up along Lake Michigan, and spent a lot of time camping and traveling with our families as kids, so we want that for our kids as well. And though we spent our childhoods in tents, we think it will be fun to show the kids more of the country than just MI. So we are beginning our search for our first camper!

I have a degree in product design and have been designing and building furniture for about 5 years now as a hobby, so my skillset and my shop are ready for a challenge! I am considering a resto as well as a full custom build from the ground up, though as of late, I'm leaning toward restoration.

I hope to gather as much info from you guys and gals as possible, and I look forward to hopefully meeting some of you along the road as well!


Oh, and if you're selling a 10 to 14 ft scotty, shasta or other similar project from the 1950's to mid 1960's (more ham than bread loaf) let me know! I may just take it off your hands! :beer:

Welcome Jim.
You might keep up on the tear jerkers site too as sometimes there are good contacts there too.
There a re a couple in the great lakes chapter that have built standies and/or done re-builds. Tear Jerkers also have gatherings that allow you to see a bunch of other's ideas.
Welcome to the group.
