I believe it is a 1980's model box camper but I have not been able to find anything on what make and model it is. I have been busy working out of town for the last 6 months so my little brother was nice enough to go and pick it up for me which was a 3 hour drive each way.

The one down fall to having my little brother go pick up for me is that I didn't get to see how much work it was going to need, I paid $500 for the camper and once I was finished the demo and seen the extent of the water damage I definitely think I over paid.

But I was already to invested into the project to call it quits. The roof seem on the drivers side had rusted out in a few spots which is what caused that wall to rot away. Every piece of wood was a custom mill which had me on the table saw for a good 3 hours. On a positive note the part of the project that I was not looking forward to is now done.

It was about 10:30 pm Saturday night when I had finished the siding and windows by that time I was beat and had to leave back out of town for work on the Monday so Sunday I just put a few covers back on and called it good till I was back in town.
