here's some recent pics of it. Just took them today!

I'm not aiming for the rat look by the way. It just sort of ended up looking that way.

The links below are to bigger versions of the same pics if you wanted to see them for some reason.

The undercoat patches were applied after I got it out of the shipping container. Heaps of bits were rubbed raw. And the big crunch on the left hand rear corner, well that was an old tear. I fixed it. Then it got crushed upward by something in the container. I bent it out with a crowbar to get it to roughly the right shape. Still have to do the repair though.

The pictures don't reveal how much spraypaint I have used on it. I found a pretty good match 😉

Can anyone else see the face peering out from the drivers window in the side-on shot? It's not my reflection and there was no-one else around. Talk about weird.

Hm..there seems to be a second one that I can see in the thumbnail. Is it just my old curtains, or is my camper haunted?

My bet is on curtains by the way.
