Has anyone built their own camper?

[meleavingsoon]

Hi all,

I have been giving some thought to building my own camper. I started looking at some of the projects on the web but wanted to see if there were specific sights anyone could suggest to help me think thru this. I have done two bus conversions and a Sprinter van conversion in the past but with those I started with a empty shell. I'm curious to learn the engineering process of the TC shell.

I would appreciate any advice or leads.

Thanks,
Phil

Raises hand.

First take any notion out of your head that you will save money. :B

What you will get is the ability to control quality.

While not your traditional slide in truck camper, we have a build thread on here about our camper and some of the choices we made. There may be elements you could use planning your own design.
