Build Your Own Truck Camper Plans

I own an old car dealership and have been in the business for quite a long time.

I do not restrict myself strictly to cars however. When I spot some good trucks or busses, I try to acquire them too.

Whenever I come across an old but good vehicle, I sometimes keep it for my own use.

Over time, I had collected a good amount of old vehicles, which I had a plan to convert into recreational vehicles whenever I found time.

I started searching for a good book to help me with my conversion projects. It is always good to start off with good plans and schematics to begin with. My search brought me to “How to Convert/Restore Old Cars, Station Wagons, Vans, Trucks and Buses into Rv's”, a 192 pages hardcover book that had an incredible number of interesting photographs of vintage units that were built right from the 1913’s.

This was the kind of inspiration I was looking for. When you get to see pictures of what other people have been able to achieve, that inspires you to try your own thing. The book really got me started and I was well on my way converting my old vehicles into some of the best recreational vehicles seen on the road.

The photographs in the book almost serve as a historical and pictorial overview of the designs conceived over the decades throughout the last century. Some of the designs are outlandish while others are incredibly creative.

Although the book does not have much of how-to material, the pictures do provide a good idea of what is possible as long as you can build whatever you can conceive on the drawing board. I ended up making a couple of truck campers purely from the inspiration from the book. I was even able to sell a few of them to my customers.
