Create your dream getaway on wheels with this all-encompassing
companion to choosing and restoring all types of classic camper
trailers.
From Airstreams and Apaches to Shastas and Winnebagos,
vintage campers have an undeniable appeal! But how do you know which one
will work for you? Or if the one you have your eye on is a good deal or
a money pit? Before you get too far down the road, picturing it bouncing
along behind the family car, arm yourself with Camper Rehab, the
comprehensive guide to all things camper.
Campers are not quite homes or cars. They have their own unique
systems and demands that make fixing and upgrading a challenge. Even
if you are fluent in DIY, campers might seem like a foreign language.
Consider Camper Rehab your Rosetta Stone:
-
Explore camper options: Whether you're considering a
fifth-wheel, teardrop, pop-up, or other style of camper
trailer, this book runs through all the popular choices.
-
Buying guide: Camper Rehab walks you through the process of
evaluating a potential purchase, identifying which issues are
fixable and which are deal-breakers, as well as how to spot
hidden problems.
-
How-to tutorials: From basic troubleshooting to electrical
and plumbing projects, replacing interior surfaces, and clever
decorating ideas, there's no shortage of how-to information.
-
Special considerations: How do you work with painted aluminum
siding? What's the best way to re-caulk camper seals and seams? How
can you re-align a camper door? Even those handy with automotive DIY
are sure to learn a thing or two!
-
Visually driven: You'll find detailed illustrations as well as
extensive color photography to help you get your travel trailer into
shape for your next big--or little--adventure.
Written by accomplished DIY author Chris Peterson, whose light and
approachable tone is coupled with the hardworking DIY information you
need, Camper Rehab is a must-have for anyone with a camper--or
seriously considering one!
