Redneck Ramada II

[osage outlaw]

I'll bring it to Moontree next year Dave.  I might have to get someone with 4WD to haul it around back to the flat area.


I woke up bright and early today.  I wanted to spend all day working on the camper since the weather is so nice.  I put the hinges on the door and then got my Dad to help me lower it down and haul it to my house.  His utility truck handled the job easily.  That makes me think my truck will have no problem pulling it.  This is the first time I've been able to get back and see how it looks. 




We parked it in my driveway and just as I was getting ready to start on the roof I got a phone call asking if I could help the neighbor lady remove a big dead ash tree from her yard.  So my full day of working on the camper didn't get started until after 2:00 pm.  I was able to get the rest of the roof screwed down.  I still need to trim the edges and do a little finish work to it.

There you go, Clint.  You could rent out the "woodshed" for camping at events.  The more events you attend the quicker RR II pays for itself.  Win/Win.

That is super cool man! That siding turned out wonderfully

Thanks guys.  I've been getting some stuff done on it this morning.  I added another roof support in the front and screwed down an overlap that looked like it would catch the wind.  I trimmed up the edges of the roof where it didn't line up even.  I cut the plywood for the bed support.  I'm going to wait to screw it down until I frame up the back doors.  I'm starting on them now.   I also finished the front door.

Clint , that is one impressive looking mobile shack!

[osage outlaw]

Thanks Wildman.


I've been putting off making the back doors because I knew it would be a pain to figure out.  When I framed up the walls I had no clue how I was going to make the back doors.  I had to move some boards and chisel a couple more back out of the way to make room for the doors.  I had to bend the hinges around the corner to make them work.  There was a lot of redneck engineering involved in making everything fit.  I still need to put the top, bottom, and angle boards on them.  I'm still trying to figure out a way to lock them shut. 







They swing open wide to allow plenty of room for loading or unloading the storage area.  Knoll, I think you are right.  Two twin size air mattresses might fit in there.

     Might want to put a "Fart Fan" in there then.

     You could put some Luan Mahogany, door skins, in there to cover those boards, and make sliding stuff in and out easier.  You could put a coat or two of poly urethane on both sides, to water proof, and make a smooth sliding area.  Looking good!

Man Clint that RRII is looking awsome

[osage outlaw]

Wayne, I'll probably put something down in the back just to cover the seams in the floor. 

Thanks Gutshot.


We had some storms blow through last night and they dumped a lot of rain.  I just checked the inside of the camper and its dry.  The only moisture I can see is around the door frame.  I haven't put any weather stripping around there yet.

Man that is looking good, can't wait to see it up close.
