check out www.uncleweiner.com they have tin roofing for pretty good prices, and if you're coming up for the snow show anyways you can always stop in!

Funny you mentioned them! I called and they have roofing in Edmonton only. They are so far the least expensive, but I'm trying to see what used stuff I can find first. Doesn't have to look pretty, and literally is only needed to shed the majority of snow. I am unfortunately under the gun to get this trailer done and to Revy so no snow show for me.

Well the rig held up driving to Revy and I am all done! Great first night in it. Still some minor things to do but all in good time. Let it snow!

Krista, I can't remember, did you increase the insulation in the walls and roof when you had it all opened up?

No I didn't open up the interior that much. You literally would have to demolish everything and I wouldn't have been able to reuse anything from the interior.

Well Rowdy, I am wondering if you have been using your camper and how it is working out for you. What did you learn and what would you change?

seen a few in truck campers over the years, seemed to be happy. definitely cut there cost, although was a bit cramped out at the staging.

The camper looks perfect but am wondering how it is for condensation. Small area and not particularly well insulated so would need lots of air exchanges or frost would build in the corners. Just interested as I think it is brilliant.

I’d lower the stove, which I’m going to do. But other than that, nothing, it works amazingly well. I moved my drying hooks further away on the ceiling and my gear drys pretty darn quick. No moisture issues that I’ve found.

shes for sale if you are interested. I have a new project in mind.
