Welcome! Thats so cool to renovate a truly vintage camper and bring it back to life. Please document and share your progress. Start a thread to keep us updated. And we like pictures of before, in progress, and complete. :) and we can be your virtual cheerleaders. Your experiences on your build...

Maki, thats an impressive resume, regardless of gender. I admire your ambition to keep learning new skills. One of my philosophies has alwas been that "Learning is living". I think I may have to pick your brain when I start my build, if you don't mind. I have always wanted to incorporate some...

Might I suggest a garage door pulley and a length of rope? Use a xxxl carabiner clip ($.99 @ Harbor Freight] to hang the pulley and rope, then hoist and tie off to something. Pulley: https://www.lowes.com/pd/DURA-LIFT-5-in-Gold-15-Gauge-Steel-Garage-Door-Pulley/1001417036

I would consider doing some kind of waterproof rubber flooring as your bottom layer directly against the metal. You can always top it with throw rugs or indoor/outdoor carpet. The rubber would add a bit of thermal break as will as protection from spills. Those same stores may sell the fitted...

Nature Lover, Just be careful your sweeties don't get fed up and kick you in your Funny Bones. :D :P

I feed ferals around my area. A rubermaid tote, sans lid, on its side works well as a feeding station. Rubermaid totes, with lids and straw, make great shelters. Just cut an entrance and a smaller escape hatch on opposite sides, and duct tape the larger hole scrap over the smaller hole on the...

Just so. You only have to be 5here as long as it takes for the paperwork, then off to the desert you go.

Maybe you can use some Command Strips and solid backed plastic closet rod cups? It should provide enough of a lip, even at an angle, to hold your curtain rod up. If you pop the endcaps off the rod you can always put a screw (in the reverse direction from normal) from the outside of the cup into...

I would also check into Nevada as a state of residency. I believe there may be a tax benefit as well. Most of AZ has a 10% sales tax, fyi. When I moved out there to AZ last year they required an ORIGINAL birth certificate at AZDOT. They tried to tell me that my NY birth certificate wasn't the...

There's always the simple butterfly vent in stainless https://www.etrailer.com/Enclosed-Trailer-Parts/Polar-Hardware/PLR24-002.html or aluminum https://www.etrailer.com/Enclosed-Trailer-Parts/Polar-Hardware/PLR24-004.html Or this style with louvers also to be more weather resistant...

A few years ago I got a bar that expands and contracts made for hanging clothes across the backseat. It had hooks to attach to the grab handles. Somehing like that with a shower curtain with some magnets to keep the curtain to the door might work well. Or even just a 1" curtain tension rod of...

A cup or two of oatmeal works great in meatloaf. It absorbs all the yummy juices and flavors and makes a lb of meat go much further and be much less dense. Just add about 1/2 again as much seasoning or it may end up a bit bland.

I know you are talking about attaching a table but would something like this folding banquet table for $40 work for your purpose? It can also double as a picnic table when/if necessary. And you wouldn't have to empty it off if you need to drive somewhere. Sorry for the stupidly long link...

I have no practical experience in using them. Only what I see on the interwebs. However: The LION batteries get high marks by many on YT. as good as or better than the BattleBorns. Check out Jared Tocci' channel, I know he talked about the Lion brand ones in a number of his vids. His friends at...

Kurbmaster, something like this vent from etrailer? https://www.etrailer.com/RV-Vents-and-Fans/Ventline/V2084.html Though I dont think that vent has a way to open or close airflow. Wonder if it could be easily modified with a sheet metal flapper like a flue? Or add a traditional hvac damper on...

PoG, maybe you can tightly insulate around the fridge and use 2 more of the vents you previously used by the front passenger seat. Heat transfer into cabin would be minimized. One installed at bottom and one at top to provide airflow as per bullfrog. You can partially of fully open or close the...

HighDesertRanger, or HDR, is the expert on cargo trailers around here. Definitely pick his brain or loom for the thread on his amazing recent buld out. He doesn't mess around, build it right and tight. Welcome to the nomad road!

Don't forget to check for paper napkins or tissues, they can be a fair substitute for tp, if it's all you can find, if you can find it.
