Hey BVC,

That's quite a project you got there. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like that before. Did you park it on a vacation parcel somewhere, or do you drag it to the campgrounds to use it?

It's quite creative, with the fold out walls and the slide out roof. Certainly you've got all the comforts of home. I especially like the little wood burning stove. The rough look and the stucco, that's the image you were trying to achieve, right?

Anyways, so now you're looking for a new project, something smaller I am guessing? We'll you've come to the right place, we've got lot's of small projects. :lol:

Mike...

I took it to a state park for 2 weeks to try everything out to see if it all worked ( trial period in cold months and summer months) everything works.

This is sort of a side hobby for me, trying different designs. I've made several campers before, each one different and with successive improvements.

I am thinking that the next one i make might have fold up sides like this one, and also have the top fold down and compress much like a pop tent does.

The difference would be that it isn't a tent, all the sections would be solid panels with cold weather insulation inside the panels.

The challenge in this project would be the type of seals that i would need.

Basically, the goal is to maximize space & comfort while on the camp grounds and minimize it while traveling and storage.
