Default Homemade Campers

Was reading on here awhile back(can't find the thread now)homemade campers.
I am thinking of building something that quad will fit in back of truck and sleepable for hunting mostly.
Lets see some pics of your homemade campers.

Yes, I'm just finishing mine up.

7' Wide x 9' Long x 5' High. It's a pop-top build.

$234 for the lite 1" steel frame. Fur plywood outter shell, insulated with unknown idea for the inside as of today.

I can fit my dual sport bike or Quad with tracks into the camper, unload at the staging area then set up camp.

Big back door for loading what ever.

The problem with homemade campers is, well, they look homemade.

For a camper, why is that an issue?

It's only an issue if you're into designer jeans and brand name watches.

Although I do enjoy Swiss timepieces, both collecting and wearing. I have to agree with the case of what a camper looks like doesn't matter. It's not like you are going to be entering the 'look at me' contest in the local campground.

I always wanted to build one of these or a custom trailer. I have been toying with the idea of stripping an old horse trailer I have on the inside and making a hunting/camping/biking trailer but leaving the outside looking old. Not many thieves would ever break into an old horse trailer with the windows boarded up.
Might even add a "Phils Animal Rendering Service" sign on the side...
