Hi All,
I am new to the forum.
I have a Bush Motel Slide on Camper that my Grandparents had built in the late 80s. They got the best part of three decades of enjoyment comfort and travel out of the camper and over its life it sat on top of a number of vehicles. I bought the Bush Motel and the Dodge Ram from them in 2011 and have thoroughly enjoyed them both thus far.

I've decided that the Bush Motel needs a little love so I am undertaking the task of restoring the interior, repairing a few little leaks, replacing the major appliances and just generally modernising it. This has me pretty nervous, mainly because I don't want to make a mess of it and partly because I know very little about carpentry and many of the finer details associated with cabinetry and caravan building etc. I am pretty confident that I can manage installing major components and new jacks etc. However from time to time I will be appealing to many of you experienced caravaners and the like for some advice and opinion on some of the finer points of repair, configuration, component restoration and sourcing. I believe I certainly have my work cut out for me here, I promise to post heaps of photos of the progress.

Cheers
