VINTAGE CAMPER PHOTO BOOTH REBUILD 🔨TOOLS & TIPS

She's skinless! Not boneless, at least not yet. Another week working on the rebuild of my 1961 Aljo vintage camper photo booth and the skins are all off. In this video I'm sharing some tips and tools that I use to remove the skins of vintage campers. My biggest tip if you're thinking of rebuilding a camper? 📣 YOU CAN DO IT! TAKE OFF THE SKINS 📣

Wow. I have never seen such beautiful bones on such an old camper. Later. OK I see. The bones are beautiful because this is the one you rebuilt a while back.

PREPPING THIS LITTLE TRAILER IS THE BEAR OF A TASK. LOVE YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR TO GO WITH IT!

Thanks so much for the great videos! You really peeled back the mystery there and alleviated my trepidations about re skinning our 64 Aladdin Gene! 👍

I believe you said in an earlier video that if you were to do this again you would do it in a shop under cover. My biggest concern is leaving the framing exposed to the elements. I bought a big silver tarp to cover mine, even with the skins on, as I have some leaks. It is just too rainy in Tennessee to even think of doing this outdoors. My garage doors are too low to get my trailer into. Thus, I procrastinate to get necessary repairs done.

I’m also in the middle of restoring my 12 foot 1957 Calcraft trailer. My goal is to restore it back as original as possible. If you have any cabinet hardware you are not using I would like to talk with you to see if you would be willing to part with anything.

I enjoy your channel and have been following you since you started working on your Claymore.

When you cut the wires to the tail lights, it seemed like you cut them kind of short. I can't be sure. I saw you pull them out and then cut them. For a newbie watching this and they need to remove a tail light, I caution in cutting the wire short. If that's done, then there isn't much wire to work with and sometimes that wire coming out of the tail light hole is already really short. This becomes an issue if you aren't removing the skins. Make sure you leave enough to work with.

I've been looking for a vintage camper, all the decent looking ones in my area are 7k plus. One day i will find one that's less than 5k, what I can gut and rebuild.

Question on all the exterior screws on the wall skins like the vertical line you talked about. How are those sealed for water where the screw penetrates the skin, like a neoprene washer like you see in roofing? Or is there butyl in-between where the skins meet?

So what’s all the gunk under all the seams and around the windows? And how do you reseal everything?

Hey Conan, I do have a question I am in the middle of rebuilding a 1965 Santa Fe cub and I noticed you said you want to put the weight toward the front and I was thinking to put mine towards the back so I can use the countertops in the front. They were existing to place the printer and the camera . What are your thoughts?

I’m really stupid, are you sure I can do this tho ?
