Great Video! I will say my mouth dropped open when you slammed the backed end!
But... how about this idea?
Gut the camper out. Box in the bottom. Put doors and drawers on the bottom for outside access. Create an outside sliding kitchen. Put a flat top on it for a roof. Then you can pitch a tent on top or get one of those pop-up type tents people install on the tops of their cars and trucks. Sleeping bags, and presto!
The end result would be (something) like this: Click here.

Yeah, an aluminum teardrop shell wouldn't be that difficult to construct and you'd end up with a larger teardrop than the typical layout. Kind of a "Honeymoon Suite", lol.

I have two tent campers, here. One was converted into a stake side utility trailer and the other is destined for that too.
I could put a conestoga type canvas top on them for camping but the TT is where I'd rather be. If I was rehabbing one for a long term camping project, I'd build it out with a metal roof, much like a cargo trailer.
That's what I was thinking when I picked it up. For free, the worst case was it became a utility trailer.
I'm planning either all aluminum or fiberglass for the shell. The shape and size are still up in the air, but it'll be small. I'm a close sleeper so this should be great for me;)

All of that to say - you may have gotten your hands on that exact popup!
Nice going!
