Pimp My Ride: Camper Shell Edition
Loading...
Uploaded by stickchewer on Sep 7, 2010
The renovation of an old camper shell bought on craigslist for $100. The camper shell didn't quite fit the bed of the truck, and so some modifications were done so that it would. We built a carpeted bed-liner in addition to re-carpeting the terrible carpet on the interior of the camper shell. We replaced the old/broken/keyless locking mechanism with two side locks. We spray-painted the exterior black, from the faded purple that it was. Then we took it on a road trip to California.

Nice work, creativity and elbow grease, many happy trails

Nice video thanks for sharing. Makes me feel better about my rebuild project on a used camper shell, but unlike you I am moving to California coast to coast driving.

Good going. You should be very proud. You have inspired me to try one on my pickup.

Awseome Job... nothing like camping in the back of a truck.
-
nice vid. What did you use to cover the foam on the bed (over plywood)?

@stickchewer cool to see a labor of love come to fruition! I just found "anti-fatigue foam padding" @ big lots, and lined the bed of my truck! I will test sleep in it with my dog soon...thanks for the inspiration!

I am in the same boat. I just bought a camper shell very cheap on craigslist. However, it is a tad beat up and I would like to put a fabric (marine carpet?) lining to limit condensation. What kind of adhesive did you use for the carpet lining?
P.S. your project came out looking great!

Pretty cool video. How much did all the supplies cost?
