Old campers have an appeal that reaches back in time and can send your imagination soaring. Lets face it: they are cool. Who hasn't seen one parked on a boulevard with a 'for sale' sign and pictured it bouncing along behind the family car, ready for adventure and fun?
Unfortunately, campers are not quite homes, they are not quite cars, and they have their own unique systems and demands that make fixing and upgrading a challenge. Even if you have plenty of DIY experience, a camper speaks a foreign language. Consider Camper Rehab your Rosetta Stone for the language of Shasta, Dutchmen, or Airstream.
This book is a top-to-bottom guide to getting a fifth-wheel, teardrop, or other camper trailer ready for the road and beyond. From basic troubleshooting to electrical and plumbing projects, replacing interior surfaces, and clever (sometimes 'retro') decorating ideas, this book uses detailed illustrations, colour photography, and a wealth of step-by-step, how-to information to get help you get your travel trailer into shape for your next big or little adventure.
And in case you haven't pulled the trigger on that trailer you're eying on GumTree just yet, Camper Rehab also walks you through the process of evaluating a potential purchase, identifying which issues are fixable and which are dealbreakers, as well as how to spot hidden problems. 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 any camper owner or dreamer.
