Russell and Marisa’s Camper Project
My cousin Russell and his wife Marisa decided to buy a camper, and remodel it. They found an old camper that would fit in the back of their truck. They have a boat, so this would be the perfect set up for them! They can camp, and take their boat. Little did we all know…
