I bought a 1964 trailblazer Chief 10' camper on FB recently and have been started working on it. I thought folks might find a build thread interesting so I'm going to start one and see if I can keep it up to date. Starting condition I thought was pretty decent, shell wasn't to beat up, most of the lights were missing, had some separation of the skin along the back edge, one window has a broken pane and one has a dent in the frame otherwise they were all intact.
Interior has some obvious water damage in the rear along the curves, and a lesser amount on the front by the window. I'll know exactly how significant it is once I dig in. Layout is a bed with a bunk in the rear, this bunk may have been a homemade add in, kitchen on the drvieside middle with sink that was a direct connect to a hose, 2 burner stove connected to a 5 gal propane tank, and ice box, front had a dinette that turned into another bed, there was a vertical closet on the passenger side middle, there is a propane heater in the floor, and a manual vent in the roof. The camper had an exterior plug which operated 1 light and a standard outlet in the camper, there was also 1 gas light.
Planning to redo the layout to better suit our desires and needs, once I get it gutted I'll spend some time figuring that out, better bed, fridge, solar setup, maybe a fireplace in the brainstorming. I know the wife wants some kind of bathroom, not sure it fits but we'll see.
