Seawolf Vintage Campers

It’s not a camper but golf carts and campers go hand in hand. This is my next project - A 1986 Yamaha G3. Currently it has 4 flat tires, broken fiberglass, rust, and a motor that may or may not run. Stay tuned.

Rosie is done and already with her new family.

Almost there. Have a few more items on the list to complete.

Making progress. Got the exterior of the camper painted. Getting the the inside put back together.

I have had a lot of questions about where I got flooring with a Scottie dog in it. I made it. I Drew an outline of what I wanted. Then cut it out of the flooring with my jigsaw. Then I cut that same shape out of the indoor outdoor carpet that I am using in the storage area under the couch of the camper. 

Making some progress. Got the flooring installed and one of the dinette benches. I have a lot more aluminum trim to install on the floor but it all needs to be cleaned and polish first. 

Got the drop floor in and the inside painted. Next is to install the flooring, cabinets and the trim.

Got the walls and ceiling installed. Next is to paint all of it and install the floor that I had to remove due to dry rot.

On to fixing the door. After removing the outer skin of the door it was obvious why the door was so flimsy. It was mostly made of old cardboard that is now waterlogged. I removed all of the old cardboard and the few pieces of wood and replaced it with new wood and Ridgid foam insulation. 

I’m back at it. Now working on wiring. Discovered the wiring wasn’t done correctly, and the wrong kind of wire was used, so it was a potential fire hazard. The wire used is the kind for a house-Romex. There is way too much movement and vibration when moving a trailer where it is like a mini earthquake every time you pull it down the road. Replaced with stranded wire that is made up of many little pieces twisted together and is more flexible to allow for movement.

After a surprise inspection from my supervisors I got to pulling the drop down floor out. There was only a little dry rot, but I chose to pull it all out given how it was originally installed. Will make for a much stronger floor when I replace it. The rest of the floor in the trailer is super solid so I will keep that in place. Now that the floor is open I will be able to run my exterior trailer light wires much easier. The frame has some surface rust but I will clean all of that up before I put down the new floor.

Rosie is all cleaned out and I got everything organized. Next step is to replace the areas of the floor that are soft and any other areas of dry rot. Rosie is on her way to looking good.

First thing to do is get Rosie cleaned out.
