Ratrod camper Lol! Yeah, several people thought I was nuts for making all that new wood look like it was leaking but it just adds to the whole theme.

Ratrod camper I used glaze on the ceiling and the walls to create a water damaged look. All of the wood was stained with regular stain before the glaze was added.

Ratrod camper I made this table using a metal frame , some old wood, some Mdf board and a lot of old yardsticks. The table opens on the top and I keep my plates, cups, and dry goods inside.

Ratrod camper It's a 1972 Lark and it's 14 feet long. I completely gutted the inside. You'll be surprised at how much room you have in a camper if you take the upper cabinets down. I used regular furniture in the trailer . There's a twin sized bed with a headboard , a small dresser, and a...

Before you guys get all excited this is a female version of a ratrod camper. I was going to do this for my husband so he could take it to weekend swap meets and car shows and not have to stay in a hotel. Unfortunately the floor to ceiling height of the camper I bought is 6'1 and hubby is 6'4 so...

In memory of your son Go for it buddy! Build it for your son. Put a picture of him along with the truck and take it to car shows and tell people about him. He won't be forgotten! My husband did a tribute car to a friend who was shot down in Vietnam and we have the honor of being invited to...

Forgot to tell you guys...the white wall tires were done with paint. It was a heck of a lot cheaper than real ones and I just repainted them when they start looking bad, lol! Can't get any cheaper than that and they've held up well on my trips. Here's a picture of the artist painting them.

Thanks guys! The artist that painted worked for 3 days. He's only 21 and this was only the second camper he's ever done. Paint, labor and all was 1300 which I thought was a steal considering every inch was painted by hand. I did the inside with plywood floors. I got my husband to score them...

Hey guys! About a year and a half ago I posted a message about doing a ratrod camper for my husband to use when he goes to car shows. I got a lot of helpful information from all of you members. Unfortunately I failed to measure the floor to ceiling height inside the camper when I purchased it...

Rat Rod Camper Ok guys...Back in 2012 I said I was going to do a rat rod camper for my husband. It's done . Unfortunately my pictures aren't loading. What's up with that? I'll keep trying. Would love to get everyone's opinion.

Hi guys. I'm Swanee and I live in Ga. I'm about to start work on a ratrod camper for my husband. I'm a member of an all women's camping group called Sisters on the Fly. Just happen to have an extra camper sitting around in the yard and thought it would be a great opportunity to do a ratrod...

Great ideas guys. Sawzall I like the pillow idea and the pictures of his cars. I think I'll definitely do those as well as WillowBilly3's idea on a cabinet with an outside drain for the cooler. I have one of those expensive coolers I got as a gift and always worry about leaving it...
