Restomod of a 56 Benroy.

[Wishno]

I bought this camper a few months ago and just recently started making some progress on it. I have no experience with woodworking so this is going to be a learning process for me. I do have a lot of experience with building cars though so I am no stranger to making things with my hands. My plan is to restore this camper to working order while also adding some of my own touches/modernizing it. I have a two week road trip planned this summer so I hope to have it finished by then.

Things to do:
Rebuild entire galley
Rewire all of the trailer lights
Inspect and clean wheel bearings
Replace all door handles and galley latch
Seal up all skins and doors hatch
Completely rebuild the galley hatch structure as well as hinge
Install 110V AC and 12V wiring.
Small AC unit probably on the tong below the front window.

I have my koolatron cooler and camp chef stove in there to get an idea of sizing


Trim below door needs to be replaced.


The hatch. The wooden structure is starting to fall apart and i want to build it stronger as well


Trailer dolly I picked up.


1/2 an 3/4" plywood for the galley


My tow vehicle. 87 325i with 95 525i drivetrain
