I always wanted a camper. My husband bought me a pop up but when we popped it up it was covered in mold. We cut the pop up off the base and built the walls out of used pallets that held a 600 ton generator. The flooring is recycled and the windows are from an auction. Coincidentally the paint was destined for the dump as-well.

I asked her if she used any plans for the build, and she said “No, we just designed what we wanted.”

Take a look at some photos of Meghan’s camper.
