Vintage Camper Restoration Project
 

1964 Manorette, made in Chilton WI. I bought this for $400 with the intention of just cleaning it up a bit and having it be my Mobile Herfmobile, then the Mrs. talked me into restoring it (of course I can still smoke cigars in it), it's been fun so far, challenging, frustrating, rewarding but most of all time consuming. Here's a couple links to Photobucket albums:

Big Project! But it looks like you are coming along well. You will really enjoy your fun times and cigars when it is all done.:tu

Re: Vintage Camper Restoration Project
 

After all the crap I've gone through doing this, God I hope so!

Re: Vintage Camper Restoration Project
 

If you are a camper,I'm sure you will.
If camping/RVing is new to you,it's a crap shoot.
Either way it's a great job you are doing.Nice stout work.

Re: Vintage Camper Restoration Project
 

Great project! That will be sweet when it's all done. :tu

My Lord there's a lot of work left to do in that damn camper. But I tell you what, come hell or high water, I'm sleeping in it tonight, even if it is in my driveway!

Re: Vintage Camper Restoration Project
 

Go For It!

Re: Vintage Camper Restoration Project
 

Go for it!

Once you get it finished, any plans were to take it camping?

Re: Vintage Camper Restoration Project
 

You've got some awesome projects you do/work on! Always enjoy seeing what you'll be working on next :p

Re: Vintage Camper Restoration Project
 

I like the idea of a herf mobile. Best of success with the project.

Re: Vintage Camper Restoration Project
 

Cool beans man ... I love it!

Re: Vintage Camper Restoration Project
 

Not even a clue, heck, I've done all this work on the inside and I'm not even sure if it's road worthy! If not, I'm camping in my backyard!

Re: Vintage Camper Restoration Project
 

Just a thought, but you might want to check ou the running gear :D

Looks good though!

Re: Vintage Camper Restoration Project
 

What a neat project. Used to see campers like that all the time in the woods during deer season. Something to definitely be proud of. By the way...wheres the flat screen going?:)

Well I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, just got the bathroom, some trim to install and a closet to take care of...then it's off to camping! Here's a LINK to a photobucket account of the restoration.

Great job. cant wait to see the finished product!!!

Re: Vintage Camper Restoration Project
 

this looks awsome. My fiance and I have been talking about doing something like this. I'm still torn about doing a camper or a conversion van so I can tow my sailboat with me too. The biog question is...... So far is it worth it?

Re: Vintage Camper Restoration Project
 

Yes, every penny, every second.

Re: Vintage Camper Restoration Project
 

Great progress. Mobile herf mobile.... :banger
