Amazing,,,, arent you glad you had an assistant engineer and product tester?
I am restoring a 1989 e250 coachman van camper, and like you said “dont do it to save money, do it cause you love it”…..

that must have cost a fortune to buy all the supplies
June 12th, 2009 at 10:19 am
$9,300 is that a fortune?
June 12th, 2009 at 10:23 am
only $9,300! it looks like a lot more because of all the plywood, the fridge, beds, wood, tvs, couches,trailer, and what ever else you used

Great job, congrats to you and your able crew. Would you list a couple of the companies/websites where you got your materials/supplies? I’ve been considering building a smaller version. Ignore the comments from those that do not understand the pleasures and challenges of building. Thanks for sharing!

July 15th, 2009 at 1:52 pm
hey men I envy you, I planning to do a slide out on my semi trailer, any advice?

But BUYING an actual fifth wheel can easily cost almost 8-10 times that much. He saved a HUGE crapload of money! Unbelievable. You wouldn’t know it was home-made.

Still, you gotta admit, he saved a colossal amount of money. One of these days, I’m gonna buy a Sprinter van and make my own Sprinter James Cook. The only headache will be making sure it doesn’t leak when I chop the roof off.

that is pretty much the coolest thing i have ever seen in my life.That is awesome. I could barely put something together that comes in a box with instructions. You need to start a “Man Camp” so i can come to it.
