http://thisoldcamper.com/1978-alaskan
The rebirth of some vintage camper trailers. Here’s the finished camper:. And here is the restoration. Bought it in Richmond Va. 08/15/2014. Here how the top and bottom halves stack together when lowered. The width at the tailgate of my truck is 60 1/4″ and the camper was originally 64″ wide at the rear. That’s why I needed to modify things. Here are the original dimensions for my 1978 Alaskan. Got some decals made and painted the emblems…. Since most campers come off the production line as fast as they ...
Torpedo Teardrop « This Old Camper
http://thisoldcamper.com/288-2
The rebirth of some vintage camper trailers. At Hunting Island State Park, SC. After attending a couple of rallies hosted by the southeastern chapter of Tearjerkers, I thought that it would be fun to build a teardrop camper. I took the basic shape of Wally Byam’s 1935 Airstream Torpedo and scaled it down to teardrop size. I started my teardrop with a Jayco pop-up camper. All of the canvas was shot and the interior had been removed. I welded a curve to the frame to support the rounded front end. I framed ...

The rebirth of some vintage camper trailers. Alaskan camper wheelwell area modified. Here’s a before, during and after look at the modifications that I made to the bottom section of my Alaskan camper so that it would fit into my truck bed. Curbside: the box is now 3″ thinner than before. Roadside: the box was completely removed. I added electrical inlets and outlets, plus moved the water inlet from the overhang along the bedrail to the back of the camper. This entry was posted in Vintage Campers.
110 Volt Electrical Done « This Old Camper

The rebirth of some vintage camper trailers. 110 Volt Electrical Done. I cut down a shower curtain pole to run the wiring from the upper kitchen cabinets down to the lower cabinet and I used two metal surface mounted boxes with metal raceway for the wiring that I couldn’t conceal. The circuit protection is a huge upgrade from the original ceramic fuse block (that’s the original fuse block sitting there between the outlet and the power cord). Back to the 1956 Shasta page: 1956 Shasta. And tagged 110 volt.

A cave full of bats. No synthesizers, no female vocals, no fucking compromises. June 28, 2011 • 1:13 pm. Vinterland – Welcome to My Last Chapter (1996). Formed in Kvicksund, Sweden in 1992, Vinterland is the underground Wintersun of Swedish black metal, giving us one perfect album before retreating into relative obscurity. Like the force that draws us toward the chilling nature of black metal, maybe it’s better for some things to remain a mystery. The main riff laid down in A Castle So Crystal Clear appe...

Skip to main content. Skip to secondary content. Old Cameras and the pictures they make. Every Now and Then…. March 22, 2011. You find one that you know you shouldn’t sell. I’ve had a few Nikon rangefinder cameras over the years but they’ve mostly been S or S2 cameras. Never an SP. The cameras came with either the 50mm f2 lens or the 50mm f1.4. Oddly enough, the values of the camera/lens combinations are about the same. This one is the f2 lens. Posted in Uncategorized. Bookmark the permalink. May 19, 2010.

Really like the Shasta, it is amazing that any have survived seeing that they were built to have a ten year lifespan half a century or more (like yours) ago. Thank you for sharing.

Friday, June 11, 2010. I know it has been awhile since my last post approximately 7 months by my estimation. It has been a busy 7 months. On March 20th 2010, I tied the knot with the most wonderful woman in the world. Also, my parents came up in late February and helped gut the entire living room of the south apartment upstairs. Today though was a different area. The next picture in our demolition slideshow is of the heap of plaster on the floor after removing a portion of the south wall and half of the ...
