S250g camp/hunt shelter build out...

10Lugger · Oct 19, 2015

We scored a S250g with heater out of PA with no signs of use. We brought it back home to convert it into a camper. Dimensions fit a 2012 F250 short bed for use. We have been documenting with pictures, figure we would share as we go.

Very cool. Been looking for one for a long time. Have a bare 101A3 frame begging for one of these. What did you pay for it?

Are you planning on attaching ducting to the heater since it is in the cabinet now?

It was around $750 before fees.

Yes, I will pan that section. I will remove the heater completely first though to confirm that it is indirect sealed flame unit. It is a multi fuel unit 15,000 btu that seems a bit much. I have to do a lot more research on that portion of the project then anything else.

Table with fold under wings that span over to wheel well sections.

Table unfolded. Cabinet in the bottom front of the unit supports the front side of the bed and a 1" steel rod supports the rear side of the bed.

We found a new sink and faucet for $75 shipped, so I built a cabinet to match it.

Is there a way to put the table completely out of the way?

It hooks into the front wall to a horizontal bracket. The poll unscrews in the front bottom of the table. It will lay flat on the floor. With the wings folded under, it is only 1 1/2`` tall.

Great Job. How did you secure the cabinets to the ceiling ?

taylordurdan · Sep 19, 2016

man, this is a super cool idea for a small camper setup! Can't wait to see more

Ended up spending 63 days camping out of the 250 as we built a cabin and camp. It sets for guests. The project opened up a whole new freedom.

Do you have any measurements on the bottom/base part of it? I've got various trailer chassis sitting around wondering if it will fit any of them. Can't find any specs online of the base, just the overall size. Looks like it fits well in an 1101/2.
