If you haven't installed the air conditioner yet, you may want to consider making it on a slide out as the side of the AC is where the air comes in and the rear is where it goes out. This would allow proper use of it and storing it during travel lessening drag.

Hi. Very inspiring idea. Is it possible to list the products you used for the roof inside, outside and the height inside. I am planning to build one from a Coleman Taos shell. All information will be welcomed. Thank you.

The sides are 3/4 plywood with 26 gauge roofing metal glued to the plywood. The outside top is same roofing metal attacked to 1 1/2 studs with sheet metal screws. The inside of the roof is 4x8 sheets of pvc I purchased at Lowes. In between the outside and inside roof is 1 1/2 compressed Styrofoam I purchased at home Depot in 4x 8 sheets and cut it in pieces on my table saw.

The height is 5' 3"... I would have loved to have it a little higher, but the sheet of metal were 42 2/4 inches wide. I wanted solid sides, so I will live with the shorter camper. I find it better than the teardrop design.

I've just started disassembling a very old coleman popup today to convert into a hardside. I'm good with everything except when it comes to the wiring. I plan on having both solar and plug-in. Anything you didn't put in that you shoulda, coulda, woulda or done differently now that your project is finished?

When I was installing the solar wire into the camper top. I forgot about the inside light wires. The drill bit catch the wire and twisted it up on the bit. Ruined my wiring job on the ceiling lights. I tried different arrangements for two beds instead of one. I wasn't pleased with any, so I just left the sectional one bed. I am thinking about raising the seating frame, for the sectional, up 5 inches, so there will be room for a sleeping bag on the floor. That will give me an extra bed.

The metal I used on the outside is flat metal roofing. I contact cemented it to the 3/4 plywood. Side framing is 2x2 and roof framing is 2x4 laid flat with 11/2 insulation foam in between each joints. The inside ceiling is 4x8 sheets of pvc. Attached to ceiling with construction adhesive and decorative screws.

Find a Metal roofing company and purchase 26 or 28 gauge sheets. They can cut it any length and it is 43" wide. This is the stock they make metal roofing from.

In our county you can get a title for a homemade camper, and you have to have it weighed.
