I lost my popup during the flood in May and decided to build a small 10'camping trailer. so far I have tore down the popup down to the frame and framed up a front and back wall I will keep my progress posted and try to post pictures.
I've already considered the weight the max weight capacity is 1770# when I finish it should be less than 1200#. it will have a bed, a small fold down table, roof mount ac and a door that locks. all storage will be in my van.
In all of the excitement of building your own camper please don't forget about what you're building it ON. A pop-up has only 1/3rd the walls of a TT, it also has far less cabinetry.
It would be VERY easy to convert a pop-up frame into. Grossly overloaded camper.
