I think both of these slide-in campers are great. I think with a little bit of fixing here and there, they would both be great little over-nighters/weekenders. Well chosen bargains. 😀
Pro tip, bring a bar of soap or wax to lube the sliding surface of the wood, makes things move surprisingly easy... Good score once again, Mr. Haney's used RV emporium lol
@@LifeofLind Yep, works great for getting long woodscrews in too without twisting them off. Gotta say, I miss living in Manitou Springs, you're living the life out on the prairie =) I'd go full blown truckhouselife on that Real-Lite, For that price you can't go wrong.
If you ever get another slide in like the $25 one, remove the cable system and go to electric lifts. You can get some for desks that lift an amazing amount of weight or something like the bed lifts on the toy hauler. Instead of canvas sides, make them out of something solid like plywood over foam board.
Am I seeing a new opportunity for you here? I would definitely buy a Dustin approved, re-manufactured camper! You have honesty and integrity, things we won’t find on a sales lot and rarely at a private sale. Thank you, and God bless!
I have on of those high lift handyman jacks I inherited from my dad last year. Never realized how “handy” they really were. I have an old telecom utility drop in fiberglass utility shell/pod that I removed the utility from and made it into a drop in bed version of a water proof camper shell. Wish it was slide in, but it was cheap. I used it many times in getting a slide in truck camper style jack bolted to it to install and remove from the truck. May want to consider one or two of those. They would make your life so much easier on the cheap for sure. Just something I’ve figured out. They are the same jacks off roaders use, so if you change your plans of camper pick ups and such, you should be able to sell them quickly. Love your content. Wish I could see you more, but I definitely understand.
Put a 3 or 4 pipes on the trailer bed, and put the camper on the top of the pipes. It will roll really easy. I used 2 inch steel fence post pipe. About 5 feet long.
You need to get a bucket of golf balls. Put them under the camper as you get the front on the trailer. The golf balls will make pulling it onto the trailer very easy. Once you get it onto the trailer just lift the trailer enough to remove the balls with a board or stick. Makes it easy.
I love the idea of a lofted queensize rv qith roof mounted tv facing down and reslly luxurious mattress and good ac. Obviously a functional bathroom is ideal, doesnt need to lwaste space in aesthetics or awkward storage.
Even with a new pop top you should be able to turn a profit. The larger camper looks like a quick flip to me just needs some cosmetic work, good luck with it mate hope you make a good profit. 😉
I work at Copart here in the UK and we only ever get motorcaravans and fewer caravans. Certainly not the wide range of cool campers and truck campers that you guys have. I'm really surprised at the lack of staff and security there though - our site is like a fortress. Great video dude
There is way more than 25bucks worth of parts in the first one, I'd part it out for spares and then put the effort in to the second one, looks like it should be a fairly quick turn around and on to the next project.
I use to work at an RV dealer that sold Lance and Lance doesn’t carry many if at all parts for anything past a couple years old, And they will not talk with to you if you’re not a dealer
I was in the UP of michigan a couple years ago. Saw the top of a pop up along the hiway and wondered what it was.. Then I saw the guy about a half mile further and figured it out.
Cheep as chips , love it. Anyways, options . 1,, break it or part it out .would get you a small payday, or do a red neck roof build, it would be OK, and work. But you could adopt your idear beter and do a frame first line the inside frame with plywood, then do a hard bord liner with fome and cloth , then screw that to the walls as decoration. The outer walls put polyurethane sheets into the frame, for the walls skin with ally to copy the sides below, but the roof. cover with 450 gm chop strand mat and glass resin. When dry sand lighty, then fill, then bed line the roof. Note.. Glass over the polyurethane only, saves on weight, no outer ply sheets needed for roof. Use a padle roller for the grp. Iv done this on my walls on my homebuild on my chan, it works and is a good way to hide the strand patterned from the grp. Good luck on what ever you do
@LifeofLind You could use Woven roving lay up process and then put surface tissue over the top. But that is the expensive way to do it. 450 g of chop strand Mat is the smallest and lightest I would go ideally 600 GM would be the best.
I second the suggestion to use the $25 camper to repair the other one. That may be a good suggestion for flipping - get a structurally sound (older) camper with a bad interior, a new structurally damaged one with a good interior and systems (maybe even solar) and combine the two to create a good one. Will be more work but should allow you to get them for cheap.
Since I can see you're kind of Handy I bet you can make a little dolly with four lawn mower wheels or something that you can put under those things Jack them up a little bit and just pull them on with them small wheels
it's becoming more common, even for people who are middle class, campers still aren't ideal as they will make you broke just trying to heat or cool them
If you're going to do that a lot I need to go to harbor freight and get you a badlands Jack it's an off-road floor jack all the off-road recovery people use them Matt Moore's where's my how far does Casey Liddell you need to get you a bad Lance off road Jack that would make what you're doing really really easy all right this is Kent groveland Florida

Mr. Haney 😄
Oldest wood drawer lubricant.Just used the other day on one from the 50s.
Yea or even just water
Hey Lind here is a tip. Buy some round fence posts to roll the campers up onto your trailer next time. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the tip! thats a good idea
@darrellhoisman1544, I have used PVC pipe before. Either 1 1/2 or 2 inch works great and lighter and lower cost just cut to what length you need.
If you ever get another slide in like the $25 one, remove the cable system and go to electric lifts. You can get some for desks that lift an amazing amount of weight or something like the bed lifts on the toy hauler.

Topless camper rebuild the top of it. The other one is outdated but just painted the cabinets get a little updated look to the inside it.
Am I seeing a new opportunity for you here? I would definitely buy a Dustin approved, re-manufactured camper! You have honesty and integrity, things we won’t find on a sales lot and rarely at a private sale. Thank you, and God bless!
Thanks!
Love the second one(really long one)
The pop top you paid $25 for is in better shape than the one you bought for $1,100. I'd find a way to put a roof on it.
I have on of those high lift handyman jacks I inherited from my dad last year. Never realized how “handy” they really were. I have an old telecom utility drop in fiberglass utility shell/pod that I removed the utility from and made it into a drop in bed version of a water proof camper shell.

might have to go pick two of those up, would have made this whole job easier
Nice find
I would give my front teeth for that second camper. I love blue and am a bit old fashioned. So fr me it looks perfect.
it cleaned up nice
The $ 25.00 is awesome !! In my younger days I could have done wonders with it !!
Definitely use the one with no top to repair the other one❤
Good choice!
Love to see your renovation on those campers!
More to come!
Fix and flip! Nice video!
Yes! Thank you!
Here's a tip. Pull the trailer under the item you need on the trailer. Goes easier and the rear doesn't move until you lift it.
Fix the roof for the palomino and fix the lance both can either be flipped for si much more or you could keep one of them.
Put a 3 or 4 pipes on the trailer bed, and put the camper on the top of the pipes. It will roll really easy. I used 2 inch steel fence post pipe. About 5 feet long.
that is a really good idea!
Do you sell these? I’m in Salt lake and have bid on a few of these out of Denver. Looks like a massive pain to load them!
You need to get a bucket of golf balls. Put them under the camper as you get the front on the trailer. The golf balls will make pulling it onto the trailer very easy. Once you get it onto the trailer just lift the trailer enough to remove the balls with a board or stick. Makes it easy.
Thank you for the trip. Fix & Flip. Keep on trucking.
Thanks, will do!
I love the idea of a lofted queensize rv qith roof mounted tv facing down and reslly luxurious mattress and good ac. Obviously a functional bathroom is ideal, doesnt need to lwaste space in aesthetics or awkward storage.
roof top tablet mount maybe
put a roof on it if you have the time a custom roof would be awesome
Even with a new pop top you should be able to turn a profit. The larger camper looks like a quick flip to me just needs some cosmetic work, good luck with it mate hope you make a good profit. 😉
Turned out pretty well, cleaned up nice
I work at Copart here in the UK and we only ever get motorcaravans and fewer caravans. Certainly not the wide range of cool campers and truck campers that you guys have. I'm really surprised at the lack of staff and security there though - our site is like a fortress. Great video dude
Thanks Richie! yeah i'm surprised too haha
Next time sit it on some schedule 4 sewer pipe or round pipe and it will roll right up on the trailer. I use to roll barns around with it.
good idea!
I do enjoy a good RV renovation
That woman is a keeper
very much so!
I didnt know the first but the the second i do know big time ,,If you can make it right its money !!
hey I bought a 7 yo Northstar pop top without a roof and bult a sweet hardtop with aluminum for 1500. its nice and roomy!
Sounds great!
There is way more than 25bucks worth of parts in the first one, I'd part it out for spares and then put the effort in to the second one, looks like it should be a fairly quick turn around and on to the next project.
might keep it for parts on future units, seems worth it for the price
I would look around and find another pop top that's in bad shape but has a roof.
keeping them would be a good thing and it would sponsor your future campers because you could rent them out
Scaffold tube and roller on all day do it with one hand
I think do the repair to the lance mabey use it for your fishing going to the mountain camper.
I like it, it's so roomy, but also long and heavy so it would be hard for me to get to the places i like to go
@@LifeofLind something else I've seen is one one put on the front of a trailer and then behind it has used that open space to pull a car or something
Need a pipe long enough to cross the back and it should roll! Just thinking.
smart idea!
Good luck getting Lance parts!!
same as all other campers
I use to work at an RV dealer that sold Lance and Lance doesn’t carry many if at all parts for anything past a couple years old, And they will not talk with to you if you’re not a dealer
good score , money to be made
I was in the UP of michigan a couple years ago. Saw the top of a pop up along the hiway and wondered what it was.. Then I saw the guy about a half mile further and figured it out.
seems to happen more than i thought
I need a 1/2 ton short bed truck camper
Cheep as chips , love it. Anyways, options . 1,, break it or part it out .would get you a small payday, or do a red neck roof build, it would be OK, and work.
But you could adopt your idear beter and do a frame first line the inside frame with plywood, then do a hard bord liner with fome and cloth , then screw that to the walls as decoration.
The outer walls put polyurethane sheets into the frame, for the walls skin with ally to copy the sides below, but the roof. cover with 450 gm chop strand mat and glass resin. When dry sand lighty, then fill, then bed line the roof.
Note..
Glass over the polyurethane only, saves on weight, no outer ply sheets needed for roof.
Use a padle roller for the grp. Iv done this on my walls on my homebuild on my chan, it works and is a good way to hide the strand patterned from the grp. Good luck on what ever you do
this is something i haven't considered, might have to try some of that! Thanks!
@LifeofLind You could use Woven roving lay up process and then put surface tissue over the top. But that is the expensive way to do it. 450 g of chop strand Mat is the smallest and lightest I would go ideally 600 GM would be the best.
Do they have these auctions across the US? I’m in VA, never seen one here but guessing they must have some here? Thanks, cool stuff you are doing
They have them in almost every state, there are three here from how much storm damage we get
Where ?
Sweet find bro
Gotta start bringing soapy water, really would help with these load ups.
yeah, i keep forgetting that
I'd like to have that small slide in .

yeah having a few parts rigs around can save some money on repairs for newer units, all the parts have basically been the same since the mid 90's
Since I can see you're kind of Handy I bet you can make a little dolly with four lawn mower wheels or something that you can put under those things Jack them up a little bit and just pull them on with them small wheels
plans are in the works to build one of those
Dangerous drive😮😮
Where you been?
Should have put camper on trailer backwards got it on further
would have been hard with the fence behind it
Put a topper on the broken one.
might work!
In my area I see a lot of people moving into campers just too have some were to Live,
it's becoming more common, even for people who are middle class, campers still aren't ideal as they will make you broke just trying to heat or cool them
Vice grip garage. I hear it
a fella might watch an episode or two
Fix and flip. Brand new they are so expensive
90k for a new full size lance
make a rv park with it charge 50 bucks a night
not a bad idea, i have thought about that before
Fix and flip.😀
Next time, do what the Egyptians did . Use round posts or pvc pipe to roll on the trailer.
good idea!
Beard needs more Cowbell
Greetings Rochester NY
lol thanks!
Next time try a car or furniture dolly to move the truck camper on to the trailer
Where they going to put the dolly once everything is loaded ? !!
thought about making a big metal pipe with two outriggers and wheels in the end so i could just set the camper on that and pull it up on the trailer
@@debijo5288 it goes on the wheel for a car, like a mini shop creeper
👍Good deal..you
Thanks 👍
The one with no roof, I would part out and then have a bonfire
lol i bet someone would buy it just for parts
I hear Lance campers are built really well?
Lance and Arctic Fox are the best two out there, good build quality
the blue looks awesome but the gold trim doesnt lmao
A _camper_ is a person that camps, not the equipment.
Nice
Thanks
👍👍
Correction sir, you're not crazy, you are a genius. 😂
😁
I'm looking to buy a camper it's a Chevy Silverado 1500 too heavy or too much money do you know anybody with a camper for sale
look for the pamlomino pop top units some are light enough for a 1500
Part it our $25 Fix and flip the other one
the lance came out nice after cleaning
fix em up!
sold the lance, think i'm going to put a roof on the $25 one
Ive never seen copart let people load their purchases.
yeah it's weird down there
Doesn't smell weird?! 🤯
that is rare haha
😁👍👍
Hustling!!!
nothing better than working for yourself
The jacks are probably worth 100’s, lol
new set of power jacks are 4k I'd say used could bring 2,500 so a pretty good deal
Fix and flip
If you're going to do that a lot I need to go to harbor freight and get you a badlands Jack it's an off-road floor jack all the off-road recovery people use them Matt Moore's where's my how far does Casey Liddell you need to get you a bad Lance off road Jack that would make what you're doing really really easy all right this is Kent groveland Florida
two of those would be life savers
Didn't you learn from the last time?
Repair what you need to and sell them
might keep the one with no roof and fix it up for me
Steal of a deal .Do a fixer upper series.
Turning crappers into, campers.
you got that right!
Flip ;
Why don't you measure first? I guess it's less entertaining but still....
hahah measure first
👍👍👍👍
