SOLD - Restored 6' Wildernest with New Canvas

TW price - open to reasonable offers. Thanks for looking.

Purchased in Grand Junction, Colorado. Restored by myself in Dolores, Colorado over countless hours and days. New tent patterned and sewn by Canvas Replacements in Loyal, Wisconsin. New latches, hinges, stainless steel hardware. A rare find that I'm ready to pass on to the next person.

Hard to beat a Nest livability wise, with cathedral-like ceilings and enough room for trapeze practice. Even harder to find one worth owning, or completely restored like this gem. Awesome breathability and water resistance; I've waited out lengthy afternoon thunderstorms outside of Ouray no problem, with three people in the Nest, one sitting in a camp chair.

Includes 5" memory foam mattress (like new), new bulb seal, one new helper spring (not yet installed).

Includes two new REI stabilization poles to keep the bed stable when you're moving around.

For 1st gen owners primarily no matter what gen you're welcome to the following:
-Includes storage cabinets wired for 12V, BlueSea 6-circuit fuse block, dual USB outlets, one 12v outlet. Cabinets attach to bed corners using turnbuckles for safety-third's sake.
-Includes insulated flooring with custom wood floor (linoleum for easy cleaning) with perfect space up front for an RTIC/YETI and bluey (water jug)
-Includes custom sewn mosquito netting to keep the truck bed open when it's buggy
-All sorts of other stuff I can't recall

So your CL add is dead. What exactly did you do to restore it? Looks awesome btw.

 

Damn. I was gonna be in Walla Walla this month before the shutdown too. I want to be this thing’s buddy. Feel like taking a trip to basically Mexico? Please hit me up if it’s not sold by the time closures start lifting.

 

What the sh$#? Thats odd...shouldn't be expired. I took the lid off, removed all the original hardware (latches and hinges), cleaned however many years of Moab dust and grime, then replaced everything with stainless steel components. I removed the original tent, sent it to Loyal, Wisconsin to be repatterned and then reinstalled the new tent (quite a task) with, again, all stainless steel screws. Just the price of stainless steel crap alone was insane. Pretty sure it's about to be sold in an hour folks, I'll let you know if this is just another Craigslist flake, but I've got an hour drive to meet them so it better not be.

 

Best part of this Nest is the fact that it was structurally sound and not a rotting disaster like most of them, so with solid bones I went to work.

 

*sniff* It's gone. Thank you guys for your interest. Like giving away my fricking kid or something. Ordering parts for the new camper, NOW. Quarantine project, commence.

 

Watch a gonna make??

 

Building @Ripcord 's DIY GFC Camper with a few design tweaks. Ordered just about everything but the steel and canvas last night. Pretty pumped.

 

How did it end up turning out? Your wildernest was sick!

 

Hey @lightnfast, I understand you sold this thing years ago but had a question about your restoration, I'm running into a little problem on my resto. I'm replacing my hinges right now and I'm encountering two problems. First, the both hinges on the far end maybe only one screw will come through to the inside where I can see it and put a nut on it, the others aren't coming through I'm guessing because the pillar that's in the way on the inside. Second problem, for the top half of the hinges, I can't seem to for the life of me get the nuts on the bolts since there is so little room for my hands to move in there (see picture), any suggestions?
