DIY Camper conversion..
So anyone done it!? Just about to embark on Mk 3, Mk 1 and 2 were too small!
Looks a mine field but it's an interesting project to do, all skills at the ready, timber working, electrics, plumbing, going for a solar panel or two this time, and a bog! (wife wants one as the kids stop us every ten minutes when we're on the road.) Looked at mini busses - void idea, deleted, most of them are too heavy unless I sit another test. 7.5 tonner - void - deleted, unworkable on single track roads and ferries and tolls would kill you! And I'd need another test! Small Japanese 4x4 campers - nice but over priced and too small and we already tried that one! Really want a 4x4 base but they're all inflated in the price department these days unless you buy something reallly old, like 1970's old! Old VWs - Void, too rusty and too predictable. Will update but may go crafter. Mk 2 is this thing, (if I can get any image hosting sites to work!) works great and drives up mountains, easier than setting a tent up but just tooo small now... someone could have told me that children stretch over time..

Wow, just discovered you can get them already for a Freelander.
I'd better remember to pull my hand brake on firmly. And not park too close to the edge of the cliff. Other than that happy days! Last edited by audi80fan; 13-08-17 at 08:49 AM. |

Currently winding up a scammer from gumtree who is a 'divorced surgeon who is selling their ex-husbands van because - I sell at this price because I need money to leave UK [sic]. Apparently on a training program [sic] in Germany and wants me to instigate a £4K escrow transaction and have the van delivered to my door within 48Hrs. Aye right... Amazes me that people have no shame. |
