Well, I guess it's about time I posted this build up thread on mud since I think I'll get better feedback from you guys than the regular popup forums. This is a copy and paste from those forums.
Back in October of 2011 we picked up this Coleman Taos from craigslist.
It's pretty much the smallest modern camper made which is exactly what I wanted for the trails. The previous owner did a SOA conversion to give it a small lift. As it sits now, I have 1.5 feet of clearance between the ground and the frame.
I'll probably end up doing a couple inch block lift and maybe put bigger car tires on. It also definitely needs armor.
Other possible mods include a larger water tank (existing is 5 gallons), water heater, shower, electric water pump, propane heater, residential wood flooring.
Here's the interior:
It'll be a challenge to figure out where to put everything, but I think I can do it.
Oh, and the ruffled curtain hanging thingies have got to go.
One last pic of the back.
