A lot of people say they find our little truck camper refurb project interesting. So I thought I'd share it in a thread here. A little about us: my husband and I are perpetual DIYers and creators. ...

I had one of those 25 years ago! Mine was a 10" and had the most gorgeous paneling in it. They put the pretiest book-ended wood on the ceiling of the cab-over so you'd se it when in bed. Red Dale was a premium brand back in the day. Very well made with a better grade of parts and H/W.
I couldn't keep it from leaking and it finally went to the dump.
I'm looking forward to hearing from other Red Dale camper folks.
So far I've had a few conversations with others familiar with the make.
Previous owners of this camper ripped out the original inside. I have no idea what it looked like before. Would be cool to see a picture of it before...and I have a feeling this thing has been all over. There were some badly faded travel stickers on the back. I've heard that Red Dale was considered a great builder of campers.
We're now in the homestretch on the inside....it's getting a new look. Won't have much in common with the original appearance.
Ahh yes...leaks. The bane of all camper owners.
Right now it is sealed up tight....we've had so much rain during this build. Buckets of forceful sideways rain. No leaks since we did the intense sealing of every crevice, cranny, and crack. But this is one of the areas that must be maintained with Jedi mindfulness....especially important in old campers. May the force be with us.
