Trying to figure out what make/model this camper was
Tuesday, October 16th, 2007Should have taken pix of this thing before tearing it down but hindsight is 20/20. The tag receipt I found the other day shows it to be a 1974 “Harm” model 7ft (???). The heater paper work was printed 5/66 and the water tank has a date stamp of Oct 66. No serial # on the frame that I can find and if there were tags anywhere else I can’t find them either. So, can anyone help me get any closer?

Camper Inside Going In Slowly…
Monday, October 15th, 2007Getting closer. Got almost all the ceiling panels bent and in place. One more on top and the front wall to go. Hope to get that done tomorrow weather permitting.
Camper as of October 10, 2007
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007Got the windows in (and yes, Steve, they ARE the only type of Windows that I do) as well as the door. Still got a lot of the inside to finish but getting a LOT closer every day.
Camper Outside Almost Done
Monday, October 8th, 2007Outside of the camper is almost done. Still got a lot to do inside, as well as all the wiring both 12 and 120 volt, but getting a lot closer.
Camper Progress Today
Saturday, October 6th, 2007Trying a new version of the posting program for iPhoto. This one is susposed to put it all in one post if that’s selected. Will see…
Well that didn’t work like I thought it would
Friday, October 5th, 2007Last 13 posts were supposed to be one post. Tried to use iPhoto to auto post to wordpress but it didn’t work like I thought it would. Was gonna redo the posts but think I will leave them as is. Going to work up a album of all the pix of the camper rebuild and post it at some point so all the pix will be there anyway.
Looking like it will take a couple of tubes of caulk to finish the roof and exposed seams. Those will get covered with aluminum edging, salvaged from the popup and the camper the windows came from.
Closer than we were this morning. Hope to get the outside sealed up tomorrow. Then will move on to the inside and see if I can decide what to do in there…
More as I get it done.
Back Skinned

Right Side Close
Friday, October 5th, 2007Right side skinned except for one piece. Front roof piece will have to come off tomorrow and be cut. Then one more piece will have to be cut for the front curve. Red strip will continue there also.

Left Side Close
Friday, October 5th, 2007Left side with almost all the skin on. Top pieces lacked 2 inches meeting the sides and needed a bit of color anyway so I lapped a piece of red over the sides and under the top. Will cut the last piece and get it on tomorrow.
