1990 Bigfoot 9.5C fiberglass truck camper. I bought this a few weeks ago, it was really cheap but needs work
After getting it home and looking allot closer found it needed more work then we thought. Could have sold it in Calgary, but we decided to do a restore on it. So now I am in the middle of it.
First removed 560 lbs of extra wood inside and a crappy wood floor that the PO had put in. Then we stripped all the panelling out of it, the pictures below show its current state. I have a fair amount of fiberglass work to do before I start with the wood. I am going to remove the top windows and fiberglass the holes in, as well as repair the jack mounts and a couple holes that have been put in over the years.
Now for some pics!

Its been a while since I updated this. Lots has been happening. I have been working on it at least an hour or so every day. And a few full weeekends.
New counter top, insulation, plumbing, electrical, resealed windows, installed temporary fridge, re wired converter, ran some new electrical for lights, volt meter, solar, USB charge ports.......
The frame over the table/bench area will hold Rubbermaid containers accept for the last 2 sections. That area is for drying gear.

That's it for now.

I did not like my kitchen faucet. Too often it was necessary to tilt a pot to get it under the faucet. I replaced it with a residential faucet. I also mounted my Microwave under the cabinet.
