Hi all, new to the forum. I am thinking about making a camper and am quite capable of the fabrication and welding but i am stuck how to join sides to floor.
The bottom half i would like to construct like a caravan, a flat bed chassis and clad sides. I have made several attempts to go and see how its done with no success.
Hoping someone can help.
cheers shane.

So are u trying to build a camper trailer? Like the Jayco style with the canvas wall sections? If so then attaching the sides (cladding?) would be fairly simple.

maybe post some fotos, sketches of what exactly you want to achieve.

Thanks for your reply, yes on the lines of a jayco but no canvas. My idea is to make a small two person camper with a tilt up roof from one end. Like a pop top i suppose. bed one end cooking other end where you need a little hight. four foot short end to six foot cooking end.
It needs to be water tight up to one metre and highly insulated. A quick setup and down and on your way..
cheers.
