The Ultimate DIY thread - Ubuilding (Pics)
Hey all, There is another, albeit smaller, side to this whole RV thing - those crazy folks who build their own for whatever reason. Whether you've scratch-built it from the ground up, assembled a kit...

My bucket list contains a custom woodie camper for my 1950 Chevy pickup. However, I have a 6 month old daughter so that's on the shelf for a while. One of the ideas I have is to keep the thing light weight by using custom built structural insulated panels for the shell, no steel. SIP's work like a 3d I-Beam, but with rigid foam insulation for the core and thin plywood for the inside and outside. You can build houses out of these things without using studs. I figure I can build an entire camper shell that weighs less than 300 pounds that fits in the 4 foot by 6.5 foot stepside bed I have.
