Say, i'll need an e-mail address to send the drawings! and, the plans will come from "ahammitt" which is the resident e-mail program on our computer, and which is also my wife's name. I will not give, sell, save, or do anything with your address except send the plans.
I built the stove mounting so we could either cook indoors, or outside under the awning, with a metal flame deflector between the stove and the screens on the side of the trailer.
You'll have to get a long hose with quick connects to use the stove with your front mount bottle. I would run the hose inside thru a screen area to cook inside!
There is no charge for the plans!

Is it possible to find such a no-frills pop up camper these days? We are considering buying one, but all the ones I see are fairly well equipped with AC, showers, potties, stoves and grills, etc. We love tent camping, and one of the reasons I love it is for the no-frills aspect of daily living. Primitive, yet comfortable. I like the rustic living (although I do need a clean shower house and flush toilets nearby!)

Before looking at them, I had never been inside a popup, and was surprised to see that it was more than just a way to keep sleeping bags off the ground. I liked what I saw, but I'm hesitant spend so much money on options that I don't think we'll ever use. The price of new ones is outrageous!!!! And all those bells and whistles! I feel like I would be betraying my love of primitive camping! However, my husband feels differently. Sitting inside a tent with two toddlers for a hour during a downpour helped shake him of my opinion!!!

I've priced used popups, and there seems to be some good deals to be had, but I still would rather chose something that has the least amount of frills. I just know I wouldn't use them! Can these types be found?

(I also keep thinking that if we're going to be spending a few thousand dollars on some nice toy, I'd rather get new furniture for our living room!!!! (LOL!!))

Thanks!

Mozy - it is possible to buy a "sort-of" bare bones popup camper these days (I have one!). Over the years I've been downsizing just for the fact that less weight and size is better for getting back into primitive sites. Now, mine did come with a 3-burner cook stove, L/P tank, an itty-bitty sink (which I like!), a built in ice box - which I removed and made the area into a large cabinet for storage space. Have no shower or built in pottie, no furnance, no refrig and no A/C. Now you can get into a small popup camper like this (8'box), brand new, at the right time of year (and off e-Bay) for in the neighborhood price of $3,000.00 - considering some of the larger ones that have all the whistles & bells are going for over $12,000.00, not a bad price.

Please send me your nifty cook top plans. I just bought an old 85 Jayco tent trailer to replace my lovely Colman tent trailer that the mice ate :( soooo sad! Anyway my new to me but very old tent trailer had the cooktop taken out years ago and I want to replace it on my own and need suggestions.. Aka, your plans ;). Clf82272@gmail.com thank you so much! I will let you know how it goes! Also if your wife wants to throw in her "how to camp and still have money to pay bills plan" I could use help there as well, lol!

I have a pop up that has been gutted out all there is left is the 2 beds with mattress cushions so I started by putting in a laminate wood flooring but really don't know where to go from there. I really want to modernize it and maybe figure in a small bathroom area...really small. lol

Please send your plans on how to modify a pop up as well. I'm inheriting a 1981 statecraft pop-up soon and this would be of great help. Thank you.
