For once I've done it! I typed in Norris camper , trailer, travel trailer .... the obvious ones. For the life I've me I can find pictures for the layouts, interiors, rebuilds. Have a found a rare one? Or have I found the POS, rip it all down to the chassis and start anew?

I want to say it's fixable and at $300 bucks I think the trailer itself is worth that. I have the build know how, I've done framing, both metal and wood, all types of trim out capentry .... so I think I can re-do this very nice but here's the ticket. I need to be able to take it 11 hrs up to PA for a glass blowing event. I was going to buy the $200 tent but passed once I found the slide in truck camper that got bought out from under me 8)   Happens and if someone offerned me $400 more I'd done the same. Was still a bummer. I wanted a small vacation trailer for me the wife and my little 11 yr old. I've found it.

Never done this before. I've been watching video after video on restores so I should be ok. Hope you don't mind me asking a ? here or there. Other then that I thought I would just share like everyone else which is a great thing might I add 8)  TY

I plan on doing a bandaid build so im ready for August. Wish there was a manual or company that had all the papers or even just pictures 8)  Nice knowing the inside will be from my design. I plan on visiting the camper sales and walking thru some of the newer ones.

~ reese hitch and reciever on the truck - on order

~ finish ripping out everything inside down to the studs / insulation - forward motion 8)

~ get two new tires, have em check to make sure their "packed" and everything is ok with all the stuff lol

~ replace any and all rotten wood from the floor, walls or roof

~ say a daily prayer that I don't just flip it over and start anew lol

 I'm in the same boat. I found a 1963 Beeline Hornet in my town.. besides 2 pics of it, a brief History on the company and a brochure of it on Ebay I can't find anything else. But it didn't stop me from working on it. I know that its not one of the more popular campers out there but, that's what I like about it... its very rare and different! So I may not find exact replacement parts whatever I do use will just make it more different. Just fix it and use it....have fun
