This is one of the best Boler videos I have watched. Very nicely done. I wish I had your talents. I've put a new Dometic 3 way fridge in our 74, as well as a set of cushions from Scamp (exact fit) and a modern furnace like the Scamps use. The fridge and furnace required spacers as they are deeper than the cabinets. I had Metro trailer install the frame and axle. These frames are a significant upgrade. The trailer tows far smoother and backing up is easier. Anyone that needs a new frame, which is almost everyone, should talk to Metro trailer in Winnipeg. I have a galvanized roof vent from Vintage Trailer Supply as the plastic ones deteriorate in 3-4 years.
Got a scamp, basically exactly like that. And it's in need of the same treatment! This is motivation. The lady don't care much about my car projects, but our scamp trailer is somthing we both can do.
It is fun to do with the partner in your life! Scamp was started with the original molds from the boler (way back in the day) which is why they are soo similar 😁
@@deadcrow6888 the history of the boler (and the scamp and others) is really interesting. If treated well these shells will last practically forever 😁😁
@@TheGrantAlexander I had fond memories of my dad renting one to go on hunting trips with when I was a kid around 7 or 8 years old, my younger brother had the bottom bunk and I got the top, dad obviously had the dinette bed. I remember rolling off the top bunk and hitting my face on the stove.. haha it sucked then but it's a vivid memory. I have always wanted one. And few years ago we found one.

@@deadcrow6888 that's awesome to hear! My sons have the same arrangement (older on top bunk) but I built it up so they can't fall out 🤣 good luck with your restoration
bro clowned something serious on this restore🥹pretty sure he handmade every component that needed to be replaced, that’s another level of greatness right there
Nicely refurbished and looks like there are many more years left in that camper now. Should be proud of it. I know a lot of hard work and much thought went into it... Thumbs Up!
Thanks! I have access to the princess auto one (because we don't have harbour freight in Canada) and I've used it lots. Definitely thought about grabbing it from my friend🤣🤣
😂❤😊Wow that Is Beautiful. I Realy Love It. The Vintage Camper Is Wonderful looking anyway but Yous Did A Beautiful Job. Job. Realy shine With So Much Love And Care
I was nearly vomiting in the first 45 seconds from all the camera whipping around you were doing. Muted it, watched it, finally, and you did a great job. Kudos!
Wow! What an amazing transformation! That was a lot of work, amazing how you were able to make it all come together and all the people that came out to help you along. Amazing job!
Thanks so much! It was a lot of work, but I feel like it was worth it in the end. Definitely made it easier to have some friends and family help out 😁😁
Great job from start to finish mate. Impressed with the paint job, looks great. I can see a lot of fantastic memories in that thing over the years with your family.
There is so much work in that, but what a result mate. Glad to see this one hitting its straps too and getting some love. Years of family holidays in her now!
Thanks Dave! The first time I used a jack to apply pressure on a drill really blew my mind! It makes it so much easier when you are drilling from under neath and can't really get the leverage. I agree the paint turned out better than expected!!
You did a fantastic job and have a lot of views to prove it. You should really consider flipping trailers. People would be thrilled to have a renovated trailer that you worked on!
Thanks so much! It was a fun project, but I don't think I would make any money flipping trailers 🤣🤣 I'm not even sure I saved any money doing it myself. 🤣🤣 And I'll be honest, I'm very happy this project is complete, it was a tonne of work!!
This was epic Grant! I enjoyed watching entire renovation process in this video, especially after following up your previous videos. Love the end result, well done 👍
Thanks so much Boris! It was a fun and challenging project. Even trying to get the video edited was hard (I had over 8 hours of footage!!) I hope you are having a great December so far 🍻
@@TheGrantAlexander no worries! I know how that goes with to much material to choose from but I think you nailed it. Not to much not to little 👌 Yes, so far so good! Cheers 🍻 Have a good one!
Merci JD! C'était beaucoup de travail, mais je suis heureux de l'avoir terminé.

Hi Grant, This is a legendary restoration. You brought the trailer (caravan) back to life. It was a beautiful renovation that took a long time. I enjoyed watching. Quick and good summary. The ending is magnificent. Cheers mate. Take care of yourself. See you later.
Thanks Rory! I spent more months fussing over the edit than I did actually working on the project! lol. I had somewhere between 8 and 12 hours of footage (it was hard to tell with the hours of video where I forgot to turn the camera off, lol) in the end I think I made the best 11 minutes of video that have ever graced my channel, lol!
Thanks so much Ethan! It was a fun project, but a lot of work at the same time. Was a beast to take the 8 hours of footage and put it into a 12 minute video🤣🤣
@@TheGrantAlexander Yes! It will be your new favourite destination I guarantee it! :) Big beautiful skies and lots of room to breathe! Shhhhh. . . it'll be our secret :) L

Thank you Eryk! Don't worry I took many days of rest after being finished (probably too many and that's why it took 4 months to release the video🤣🤣) if you ever come to Ottawa you are more than welcome to spend a night in it😁
@@TheGrantAlexander That is kind of you to say so Grant! Years ago before I bought a house the landlord I rented from had a caravan with gas lighting by the side of the river Blackwater SE UK and I enjoyed a few holidays in it, rain on the roof was a treat and I watched sail barges plying up and down - absolutely magical. Happy days. The only way I could get to Ottawa would to be reincarnated there! :-) I wish you and yours many many hours of pleasure in that wonderful abode! Eryk :-)
Fifth of November? Perfect date - that's firework night in England! Welcome Archer (what a brilliant name!) and congratulations to you all, especially Mum. God bless and a very happy Christmas.
Thanks Luie! I was super impressed with the paint job as well. It is a specially formulated paint for fiberglass boats and is meant to be applied with a roller. (because lots of boats are too big to be painted in a booth). Turned out way better than I expected that's for sure!

I like the uhaul orange. You did a great job.
Thanks! I think it's pretty close to the original colour 😁
Those cabinet doors were a great finishing touch! Nice sandals
Thanks! The doors were so nice they got their own video 😁😁
Looks like the old U-haul campers with that color .
But still a great make over 👍🏻
Thanks! U-Haul did make a version based on the boler, it was pretty cool 😁
See now, if I made this video I would have called it “adding a bathroom to my vintage camper” 😆
Lol why would you call it that🤣
That's a cute little bugger of a trailer! Needs a lot of work though. Good luck! 😎
Thanks so much! It was a lot of work, but now that it is basically done (90% I would say) I would say it was totally worth all the trouble!
Wow nice Sandals
Haha thanks, I'll pass the compliment along to the welder 😁
Beautiful job!! Well done!!
Thank you!
The music is perfect
Thanks 👍
Awesome man! Love your Dad's beard!! :)
Haha ya! He has quite the beard going these days 🤣🤣
Nicely refurbished and looks like there are many more years left in that camper now. Should be proud of it. I know a lot of hard work and much thought went into it... Thumbs Up!
Thank you very much! I hope one day I can pass it along to the kids 😁
That looks excellent. Harbor freight pneumatic rivet gun is one of the best things I've got in my shop though.

A Boler after my own heart. I own a '13 Magma FJ Cruiser. Hopefully, some day I'll own a Boler like your build to match my FJ. Love it!
