What kind of things do you put in your side drawers?

 

How deep are they?

 

Do you think that other campers could be modified in that way too???

@DrJ: I think you can modify all campers this way. But you will have to raise the camper to get enough freee space for the drawers.

68 Siesta got the place with the big drawers beneath the floor.

 

@68 Siesta: You did a great job restoring this camper. Thumbs up!  Compared with this our work was amateurish.

               

As an Alaskan-Fan (waiting for the lottery-win or an old one to restore)  i like the siesta hardwall-popup very much.

 

Thank you for sharing your  work and your ideas.

I've followed your build thread and your work was anything but "amateurish"! It was incredible.

Thanks for the kind words. I wish I would have documented my rebuild as well as you did.

Awesome!!! I just bought one of these yesterday. Fit great in my 93 f150 extended cab. This is my first camper I've owned. It's really hard finding info on these siestas. I have so many questions for you lol, great work man. Your thread helped me talk my ol lady into buying it because she could see what you have done! For $350 I'm happy.

Nice work!!!

You are going to love it and I'll answer any question I can! There isn't really any information out there on them. I've learned by 15 years of trial and error. Post up some pics!

Saw another old siesta on eBay and couldn't resist another restore project. My brother and I drive to Portland to pick it up.

The ad said no soft sides, just needs a cleaning and is ready to camp. Wasn't exactly as advertised. We had a hard time scoping it out before we loaded it because the lift system was inoperable. When we got it home to the shop and got it popped up we found more soft wood on the upper portion than hard. So we completely separated the top portion from the lower portion and began tearing off rotted paneling.
