ptree Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Needed a small camper for hammer-ins. Built this Anvilstream camper from an old pop-up camper and stuff I had. Weighs about 600# empty, has a 1000# all up limit and tows great. I got 25.7mpg going to Quad State behind my S-10. I use a huge 400 watt heater and that warms it nicely:) It has screened windows from a truck topper and 3 computer pancake fans for an exhaust fan. tows very straight and nicely and gets lots of on road stares and photos.

Alan Evans Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Wonderful!...You are one of the few that can properly claim to eat, sleep and breathe blacksmithing! One could even say you have earned the right to be asleep on the job! You know that ptree? He's so skilled he can be at the anvil with his eyes closed..... :) Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptree Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 ThomasP, Tsk tsk, you know I already made anvil hats, a working power hamer hat and a swage block hat. I needed a camper, that met the folowing requirements: 1. light. Weighs about 650# 2. cheap. Built with almost all salvage. The spray foam was not salvage:( 3. Needed to be warm and dry. works 4. Needed to make people smile. Works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
