Hello , my name is justin . I recently bought a 1995 hilo camper that needs a little , well a lot of tlc . To make it kinda short , it had roof damage and was leaking . I've installed a white rubber roof witch is working great . I moved the a/c unit to the vent spot in the middle of the trailer because I kept hitting my head on the control boxes , and eliminated the vent near the couch or front . The white rubber seems to make a difference in heat , so got lucky there. I moved the control boxes to the wall next to the door . Way better design. Also removed the shower skylight when doing the roof .
So I've known for a while my ceiling in the bathroom was lower than the front , figured it was slack in the raise /lower cables . Tried to adjust but no luck . So I was wondering if anyone has taken out the raise and lower function , and just made it a regular camper ? I really don't wanna loose my raise and lower function , but if it was raised all the time it would make things a lot easier to work on inside , I.e. a standard shower . Cabinets in kitchen , and a wall mount tv . Use the rear wardrobe from ceiling to floor , I think I could get a lot more outta it space wise . Also I have a big gap on the passenger side near the wardrobe,
it seems to wanna bow out in the rear end ?
So I was thinking just jack it up , bolt the metal frames together and get around 5 inches raised inside re do the walls and build the inside any way I want , wondering if anyone has done something similar . I've got the upper section gutted and windows removed . The lower section is in great shape . I've redone all the metal framing with a wire Wheeler and painted with rust killing agents . Started to re insulate , so just need to know if I should attempt to fix hydraulics, or just bolt it together. Keep in mind I'm doing the exterior next and have ideas on how to make it look like a standard camper by framing the bottom section and re sheeting the 2 sides . Make it look one piece .
I've also changed the layout of the camper and really made a lot of room on the inside , I'm a single guy , I don't need a card table lol . Any ideas or comments would be great . Thanks for looking at my post .
