Topagee camper

Adding secondary supports to the fold out bed bases of the Topagee poptop camper.

Usually I research stuff before I buy it but the Topagee was one of those things where I didn't really care where it came from or how it was made, I just knew I wanted to give it a home. Recently I've started digging in to old manuals and pictures online and this is what I've come up with...

It's Thursday morning as I arrive to a green tin shack on the side of an agricultural warehouse in Kyneton. Framed by two rusty stakes in the dried out grass, I peer through the damaged window and see that there's nobody there...

Before I grab the sawzall and start hacking away at the Topagee, it's probably a good idea for us to take it camping in its raw, unadulterated, newly purchased state to see just what we've got here...

Just like every good origin story, it all started with Facebook marketplace...
