This is really more about doing this on the cheap than making it pretty. If form was the primary concern, I wouldn't have bought a couple hundred dollar 70's camper, lol. The whole intention was just supposed to be a cheap experiment to step up past a tent in the truck bed, and if a shortbed camper would be enough for me...or if I really do need to get into a bigger truck + camper. Thus, I don't want to drop a grand or two into refurbishing this camper only to decide after the 2nd or 3rd trip that there's just no way I'll ever be happy with a small camper. Much the same that I don't intend on replacing the current icebox with a refer unit right now, and will be using my portable Norcold for the time being.
If I decide after a couple trips that I can in fact make this work, then I have no problem putting in all new appliances and refinishing the inside to make it nice.
