this note makes the story 10x better!
Re: My camper for MTB adventures
That's awesome, sikocycles! Thanks for posting the photos. I really enjoy seeing the restoration.
Re: My camper for MTB adventures
Thank you for all the kind works. A lot of blood sweat and tears went into the build. Took a little under 2 years.
We wanted it ready for Memorial Day 2020 but everything was closed. So first time out was at Ray Town Lake in PA 4th of July week.
We were in a sea of 30 footers but our camper got most of the attention.
Re: My camper for MTB adventures
Inspiring work! Definitely created something special.

This is my wife's camper fantasy come to life. Nice work.

When spring rolls around contact me offline. I know a camping spot near Pine Grove SF with limitless dirt riding and some other locals will join.
Re: My camper for MTB adventures
I love the looks of that. I would love to have a little camper like this to drag around when it isn't convenient or practical to take our 28 footer.

Sounds good. I almost bought a few airstreams and probably will do once I find the right size and price to restore. My friends are big in the Airstream community and does all the festivals.

Re: My camper for MTB adventures
Amazing and impressive undertaking! Final rehab is very nice.
Re: My camper for MTB adventures
can confirm. I was just up there this morning before the snow hit. Lots of new trails for our bouncy-bike, knobby-tire brothers and sisters.

Re: My camper for MTB adventures
I know DIY is all the rage here, but this new one from Winne is pretty awesome:

Hard to think of something out of the box that would work so well for my needs.....or maybe it's just the marketing..

Re: My camper for MTB adventures
Dan that's real nice. Does anyone recall who made the campers shown at last year's Philly Bike Expo. There were incredible.

Almost double the cost though. I don't think I need 4x4 to drive to places where I want to ride my road bike.
