Nice work so far, mines not as involved but I appreciate you documenting it all!
What do you plan on covering the cab corners with?

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!
Thanks! The indirect lighting I thought was pretty cool, too! I actually picked up about $500 of supplies to start my horse trailer LQ yesterday, and looked for those lights - Couldn't find them anywhere! I got the ones in the pictures at Lowe's, but neither Lowe's or HD had them. Gonna have to look up some stuff online.
For the walls in my LQ I'm gonna go with the birch paneling just like I put in that popup 36" up with some sort of chair rail, then from there up to the ceiling is going to be covered in a fake leather I found at Hobby Lobby. Sounds wierd, but it actually looks great. If you google horse trailer LQ's you'll see a lot of them do that(Sierra conversions are some of my favorites, they do that a lot).
If all the appliances/etc work great, I'd keep them! I fixed up an old motorhome a little bit for a guy (nearly identical to yours) and I just painted everything an off-white color. Made a world of difference from the old dark brown!
I checked out them horse trailer LQ conversions, wow some of them are very fancy. Are you converting the whole trailer or are you making LQ's and still have room for the horeses? or are you doing it all for the horeses? lol. I really like to see how this turns out for you. Start a post!

I can't wait to see this when you are done. I am jealous. I had a little camper that I wanted to redo but soon figured out I was the only one to work on it, which didn't bother me. I also figured out that I didn't have the skills, which I could probably have faked but also didn't have the tools needed. Finally gave it to some kids in my boys class to gut and rebuild. Now that I've seen it I want it back!

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! ๐
