I've done a couple of camper rebuilds, but never a motorhome... I had a ton of fun doing them. This gets me excited and gives me the bug to buy another to remodel!

Great work you're doing!

I did a slide-in camper and although I have not put the fishing touches on it, it turned out great! I once did a full motorhome re-frame, that however did not turn out well at all, it never made to completion, it's motor was donated to a tow truck and all the new doors and vents etc are all still packed away in a storage unit in Wisconsin.
I WILL finish this one...... I hope!

The biggest overhaul I think I've done is a popup camper.

Still not as big of a project as your motorhome! I was trolling craigslist yesterday after reading your thread! :D

I checked out your camper I like the choice of paneling and the rough cut cedar but my favorite is the indirect lighting at the floor line. I'm going to steal that idea for my motorhome!
Seeing your work I can only emagine what you could do to a older model class A. Mine did turn out to be a little more rougher than I would have liked but fortunately the real expensive stuff like drive train and apliances (except the fridge) all work great, the rest is just wood, glue and staples and I didn't pay much for it and really don't have that much money into it so far. I do have a bunch of labor invested but I don't really count that when it's for myself.

Well happy hunting (craigslist) I try to stay away as there is always some kind of project to buy!
