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:

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.

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!

Go for it!

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

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!
