Hey Carey, whats the measurement just inside the door from the wall at the snap and nap to the small wall under the wing?

I was wondering, thought you might have gave up lol

Those things are just so darned cool. They do need to be restored! And I'm so glad someone else is doing it. :p

Many fond memories of our Amerigo. Our 3 kids grew up in ours. Had to lift the back with special set up to the HD truck bumper since it was sagging - water had come into the roof via the swamp cooler previous owners had installed. Eventually had to give this one up being too dangerous - afraid we would lose the rear end with the fold out section. I will follow this re-build project with great interest. I liked our Amerigo very much. The big window was a blast for the kids to lay up there and watch the world go by. Good luck and, please, post many photos!

I plan to post all the photos I can as I go. You can keep up with the progress on my blog linked through my sig.

I have a dozen pics or so of it on my computer, but I don't see any option to attach them here. I'm assuming I need to accrue a certain number of posts before I get that privilege...?

What Tater said is correct, but maybe I can add a little to it. There is a FAQ in the "Forum Help and Support" at the top of the TC page that you should check as well. Process your pictures so that they are 640x480 (or 480x640 depending on vertical or horizontal). Then open two windows, one for photobucket and one where you are posting on this site. First, use photobucket to navigate to your picture on your computer and upload it to photobucket. Then, after you have written your post, go to photobucket and drop your cursor on the picture that you want to post. Lower the cursor to the "IMG code" and click on it. That will save the photo. Now, go back to the other window from the truck camper forum, where you are writing your text, and place your cursor where you want the picture to appear and paste it.

you need to upload them to photobucket or some picture place, then use the advanced option for posting and theres a button to place a link to your pics
