After the road test to Twin Oaks, you should point it northwest and bring it out to the Black Hills to hunt turkeys!

Thanks Guy!  I had plans of getting a lot done on the camper the last 3 days but I decided to play with my chainsaws first.  I got a little carried away and didn't get much time to spend on the camper.  I did work on framing up the walls this afternoon.  I'm going to focus on it this weekend and try to get caught up.

Today I finished putting the cross boards in the walls so I will have something to screw the barn siding to.  I attached the walls to the porch roof I have it parked under.  That will allow me to take the temporary supports out and still keep the walls straight.  I got started on the roof ribs.  I'm probably 1/3 of the way done with them.  Tomorrow the goal is to finish the ribs and then get started on the barn siding.  Progress is slow since I am doing it all by myself.  Its starting to take shape.

Thats actually starting to look like a camper Clint. Can't wait to see it with the siding.

Shaping up nicely Clint, I've always thought building a camper would be a fun project. What are your plans for a roof material?

Great idea attaching the walls to your building roof for support.  Looking real good Clint

Thanks guys. 

Greg, I'm planning on using corrugated metal barn roofing.  That's what I spaced the ribs out for. 

I spent another solid day working on it.  I got a lot done but not as much as I had hoped for.  Since I'm by myself I have to clamp a lot of boards in place before I can screw them together.  Another set of hands would make it go a lot faster. 


I finished installing the rest of the roofing ribs.




I framed up the storage area/bed frame. 




I cut out the door opening. 




I covered the walls with roofing felt.  That should help keep the water out.  I used a chalk like to mark where the cross boards are located.  I moved all the barn siding to the building where I'm working on the camper.  I should be all set up and ready to start putting them on in the morning.
