Adventure Camper Shell Build

Got measurements and made a blue print type thing. Will scan them tomorrow at work then upload!

 

@Cold_Toad @JPinFL Here is my best at creating plans. Everything is measured to the outside of the board unless noted differently. The bases of the two cubbies are flush with the sides and not nailed underneath the sides if that helps you. I'll try to answer any other questions! For the other side just do the opposite

 

Thanks, man. Appreciate it. I may have to tackle this in a couple of weeks.

 

I'm by no means a carpenter so I do not know how to assemble it. But if you have the knowledge of how pieces go together then you should be fine!

 

Thank you very much, greatly appreciated

 

I had one in the late 80's.
Put the long middle piece on the truck bed, and the short one upright in the notch. Lay down and lean back on the upright one, and it will angle back until it locks like a recliner.
If the notch is forward, you get more lay down room.

Such a rad setup.

 

Nice!
Just add this:

 

Oh shoot that's awesome! I thought maybe you place that small piece straight up and down with the large board on the rails to make some sort of compartment. Did you have those extra pieces of wood too? Are they just varies sizes of tables? On for the camper rails and one for the cushion rails is all I can think of

Thanks man. It's how I got my ex gf. Opened the tailgate and when I turned around her panties were already off. She dumped me when I changed the color of the carpet. (probably other reasons but pretty sure she missed the shaggin wagon color)

definietly next mod

 

Don't know about other pieces. I had the 2 sides, left & right, and the 2 boards, short and long, for the middle.

loving this build! I need to put a net up top like yours

 

Thanks guys!

I need to start adding some things.

I'm thinking of adding a shovel and ax underneath the covers. What would be a good way to attach them to the wood? A cheaper version of quick fist? Maybe Velcro zip ties?

 

Rerouted the control box from the roof to the side. Also took away the 8 battery battery supply and hooked the wires up to an extra motorcycle battery I had and placed it under the middle seat, fits snug between the side and wheel well. This allows for less waste of AA batteries as well as not bashing your head when you get in

Painted my reflectex black so it wasn't so ugly driving around and is more stealth. When I am using the campershell I will switch the sides so the non painted surface will be facing outwards and will do its job



Also bought the ArcHaus above.

 

Wanted to make the side nets hug the side. Was looking for some kind of hook that I can easily disconnect the net from so I can move the reflectex. Found these bad boys at ACE. Man fit perfectly and exactly what I was looking for!










Also straightened out the angle brackets so the top net hugs the roof more. Added screws so the net would catch on the head

 

Great Job!

 

Thanks!

I want to do something more but don't know what. Like little things to make somethings more convenient. Like flip up a seat and there is a paper towel roll, or have a swingout table... dunno!
