- I decided to pick a project camper as I am running out of projects. I needed a project and the wife wanted a camper…. Problem solved.
This is a sweet little pop up camper which is perfect for my wife, child and dog.

Thanks Hanzel!
I have 1970 Hilo
Awesome! They are cool campers
I will be watching. IMO That roof is going to need to be replaced to prevent future water intrusion. Might as well once you strip it down.
I found the leak and to be honest, the roof isn’t as bad as I thought.
We watched you first 9 videos today. We looked at one from 1972 recently and after watching your project we might take on this project. Just wondering where you found this project- which state? What state are you located?
I found this in Minnesota. I am located in Minnesota as well. Thanks for watching! It can be a lot of work but it’s a fun project so far!
Great channel, you have some skill! Love your vision on this camper. What is used between the upper and lower part of the camper to seal it from drafts? Thanks..
I ended up putting in a rubber strip. It’s a soft rubber.
Here is a video I made for my Facebook group for tow low campers on ho I sealed the upper to the lower.

If you find the group Ratclif Tow Low campers on Facebook, I have a video on there under the photos and I show what I used. It’s a garage door seal for wooden garage doors.
@@BackyardGarage1 Thanks, man. Great idea!
Can’t wait to see what you do with this! Cool old camper!
Still in the planning / fixing stage but I’m also excited to get her going.
Famous last words
"I ran into a project...."
We had a 70 Apache Masa III, that her dad took as payment around 74 she used it in her teens, then it sat for years, when her Dad asked if we wanted it, fully restored it and we used it a lot till we decided to upgrade to a '24 travel trailer. So we sold it.
Good luck they are fun to work on.
Lol yep projects are fun! This is turning out to be a fun project so far. Different than the camaro but I’m enjoying the change of pace from the body work lol
Wow, that's cool!
Thanks! I’m excited to see what she looks like when done.
Would you happen to know how much space there between the bottom and top section side walls, ie 1/2" per side, 1" per side etc.?
I would guess about 1/2 to 1” per side. It’s not perfectly straight. That is after the walls were put on. Some spots are like 1/4 where the window trim is.
What happens when you're camping and asleep inside and some smarta$$ turns that wheel on the outside to make the camper top go down, can you still get out? LOL
Cool project, can't wait to see what you can do to it?
Yes you can. Lol but there are also locks on the thing to prevent that.
@@BackyardGarage1
That's good to know, don't forget to lock it before you go to sleep! LOL
@@itseithergonnaworkoritaint7852 this sounds like something I would do to a friend though when I was younger lol
@@BackyardGarage1
Right, that' what I was talking about. LOL
If it did happen, would you be able to get out? Looks like you wouldn't have access to the top door and the top door would keep the bottom door from being able to open?
