converted popup camper wiring problem.
I'm pretty sure it's Operator Error, but just in case I'm asking for help. I renovated the utility trailer I had that used to be a Venture popup camper but was just four short walls on a frame when I got it. The walls more or less collapsed from exposure to the weather, so I stripped it down to the frame and wire-wheeled the rust off, and painted it with rust reformer and primer. No problem there. I rebuilt a nice sturdy frame with 2x3s and clad it on the outside in a temporary way with…See More
"I've found a few such places, too. So far I've still had no luck finding the fix for this loittle stove. No rush, I'll just keep looking."
"Whatever you do... safety first. Sometimes you can make things work OK, only to find it later blows up in your face... If you can find an old camp stove, just change over the fitting so it fits the propane cylinder... good luck! Be…"

"Looks like the adapter/hook up is attached via a flare fitting. So, I'd look for a new bottle fitting that has a provision for that flare fitting. Looks like a 3/16" line with a 3/8" flare nut. Been browsing the interwebs but…"

Looking for advice on transforming truck camper...
...into a small trailer.
I'm selling my truck and buying a van, so I don't need the two camper projects I've gathered. I only have one set of jacks, so if I get rid of the '68 Frolic, and keep the (approx) '70 Real-Lite, I was thinking of cutting off the cab-over bunk, and slicing off the two feet at the back that currently has no floor and fixing it up and attaching ti to a trailer frame.
I could leave the two feet on the back, it'll have the trailer floor…
