SO IM THINKING...RENOVATING A CAMPER..Cant be TOO Hard, Right? · 11/28/2009 This is a public story

**NOTE: images provided in this post are NOT marys camper, i got these online and they resemble MY camper i had too let go before we moved to oklahoma..but, they are from a 1977 toyota mini motor home.**

i have my mind wrapped around a few different projects i want too try to get done in the next year.

one of them relies on the fact we actually obtain Marys camper from her (contingent on her getting the title cleared.)

i try everyway too think of too renovate the interior...
i run google searches for campers that have been renovated..(with little to no luck)
i WISH there was some forum, or pictures i could get a grasp of my idea thru...

of course, that requires another individualk to have done this plan BEFORE me...which i KNOW someone has done this...they just dont have a web page up about it...that im able to find.

i wish there was a book, on how to do it..step-by-step. that would be cool!

anyway, i was thinking the other day, about renovating that camper, and id want ti it too be as functional and user freindly as possible. i realize theres NOT alot of space in any small camper. marys is supposed to be 16x10 (i believe she told me)
slightly longer than an average bedroom. but all the extra space you have with a bedrrom is filled with stuff to live on and by with In the camper...shaower/toilette, sink, stove/oven/microwave, fridge, cabinets, etc...then you have too also remember the seating...it ALSO has to be user freindly and usually in more than one way.

so, again, im still thinking about this space, and i thought about a futon couch...it would probably fit in the back where the main seat is...then, i thought about storage (one thought often leads me to others) and i thought, the futon fram wouldnt lead to very good storage, but we could make a seating area in the back that WOULD, and use a futon matreass and the padding.

i looked on craigslist, and like it was meant to be the first listing in the free section (i ALWAYS check there first) was an add for a FREE FUTON MATRESS (white) for anyone too have.

10:30 pm we take the trip to bethany and there it was, on the grass...waiting for us.

so we have a start to this renovation camper idea i have my mind all wrapped around.

i would LOVE to have this thing before sandy gets to oklahoma...and at least have it livable for her IF she chooses to use it as an alternet living space.

were thinking well be doing another living room furniture moving again, to free up the bedroom were currently in to let her have this space as her own...

again, ill scour craigslist for free stuff, bed, dresser, desk, etc...shell need stuff for her possessions.
and everything we get free for her in the room, she could take with her when she gets her own place.
