Here's the main damage. The right rear corner that jacks up and is a tie down point has water damage. The ceiling as well. I'll be replacing the wood on the corner and removing the top to rebuild the roof. I didn't want to start this process if I couldn't get a new canvas. I finally received a...

I have the same camper,1997 TC650, it's a project I'm working on right now. Yours looks like it's in great shape. Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk

We've had the 072s on a 1st and 2nd gen Tundra, 1st and 3rd gen Tacoma and it did great. Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk

I salvaged a canvas from a Skamper project and mounted it on my Northstar to create a pattern for the canvas shop. It's approximately 20" too long so I have folded each side and marked where it should be for proper fitment. Everything else lines up fine. We'll see how it goes.

That would be great if they did. I'm probably going to have to connect with them about the canvas. Every time I go to a website that does camper canvas they never list Northstar which is odd unless Northstar only has their specific parts for dealers only. Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk...

Well I did it again. I picked up another project. This one is a '97 Northstar TC650, fits my Ram 3500 SB perfect. My last project the Skamper 072s that I have(my son uses it) is laid out pretty similar. This Northstar will need a new ceiling and canvas. I'll remove the roof and rebuild it like...

Here's some pics of the roof exterior. The plastic corners cracked and I reinforced them with the metal corners. That has made them a lot more stout. The aluminum plates on the back are to reinforce the HECO brackets and prevent the dreaded pop through the roof. It is well sealed and has held up...

I used Henry roof sealant (the non silicone) it is supposed to reduce heat, it goes on easy and made it look cleaner. I sealed the seams on top with dicor self leveling lap sealant, the sides with dicor no sag sealant. Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk

Finished up and test loaded on my son's Tundra. Fits good let's go exploring. Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk

There is a process to removal. Raise the roof, remove the 4000 screws from the canvas. Basically fully raised removes the tension from the internal bars inside the tubes. Once fully raised remove the hardware from the corner mounts( there may be tensionand this is where it can springa hole...

The dogs we towel off as best as we can. For the other stuff we use a tote that we toss the waders or boots in. Maybe a hitch mounted carrier would work for you. We haul a pop up camper so don't use that but the tote ends up sliding in the camper with all that stuff. Sent from my SM-N981U...

So I replaced the Bergman lights with the LEDS that were slim and close to lining up with the old holes as possible. Rewiring was quite a challenge with the only wire crimps that would fit back in the narrow channel were not what I normally would have chosen. I wanted to get it done so I could...

Replacing the running lights with some LEDS, they were the closest I could find to line up. They should do the trick. Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk

Well I purchased the Skamper pop-up camper awhile back and have been working on renewing it for trips across the state of Oregon or fishing/duck hunting while towing my boat. We have a Ram 3500, a Tacoma, and also my son is excited to use it on his Tundra. It had a leak and needed a new...

Some more interior pics with the new hardware. Also painted the window trim black.

Adding some electrical upgrades, 12v water pump, and a porta-pooper (might get a fancy one some day). Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk

The new ceiling, this was the original problem that needed to be addressed. It's what started it all! Major holdups including, extreme plywood prices, adhesive shortages, insulation shortages, and final selection of ceiling material kept this from completion. Now it needs new running lights,then...

For the kitchen I chose a FRP panel from the Depot that was durable and easy to wipe clean. The butcher block counter top was also from Depot I'm re-installing the stainless sink but upgrading to a 12v water system with a new faucet. The stove works fine but don't know if I need three burners, I...

Post up some pics of your Skamper if you have any! Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk

You might need to reclock that corner torsion bracket, the angle when fully raised in your video looked extreme. It wasn't under load I get but when I raise mine it's not at that angle. Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk
