Evening all!

A friend "out East" send me this earlier today:

"URGENT: BEAUTIFUL HOUSE FOR SALE (CAR INCLUDED)
FIRST COME FIRST SERVE
NO BROKER

3 BEDROOMS 2 BATHROOMS
ASKING FOR B$30,000.00 (INCLUDING LAWYERS FEE)"

If anybody is seriously interested in *buying* it I have the e-Mail address of the seller. However - it surely makes a conversation piece alongside the "Garbage Truck" conversion!

I stand to your knowlage obey one kanoby ( FORGIVE ME MASTER ) I will try to use the force ;) :eek:
 
have yo seen me in my moroccan djelaba. i have one just like them .i have travelled tunisia quite alot salamalikum. i,m known as alibaba grand djelaba over there . i have picked up quite abit of arabic. usefull for buying things in birmingham and places like that. ha ha .have you been down there its really very friendly. tunisia is abit cold in winter . a trip for the future is tunisia ,libya and egypt, winter in the sinia desert.bit difficult at moment as we have to pay for a guide /escort through libya. will be ok soon i hope. after all this is wild campimng for motor homes isnt it. cheers alan.
 
i have a teardrop here .used it behind the trikes . dont think the one with the goldfish bowl is much cop for sexual encounters bit tight in there.
 
My friend is thinking of 'vanning' his reliant robin for cheap accomodation while he lives away from home on a course he has to attend
 
thats the way ,will be cold though this time of year, . the answer to wild camping is hardly any windows and lok like something else. stealth van/trucking.more busy the town easier to park .park in the country some one complains .in a city every one is too busy.to care.
 
I;m sure he'd not mind me calling him money-sensitive, although he'd rather spend his cash on his bikes or any number of other diversions,
he lives in ireland right out in the sticks of Mayo,
he needs to attend some course in the bright lights of Dublin, but resents paying for a hostel or such, so hit on the idea of the pig'

some rudimentary measuring confirms its long enough & he can get a work surface for some cooking alongside,

if it comes off I'll get him to send me some images

I've done this so can offer some pointers. I had the "Estate" version so it was easier.

Take out the front passenger seat. Remove the bench seat pad. Fold down the bench seating, This gives you a surprising amount of length into the front footwell area. Construct a box support and fix into seat mountings - on the top of that goes a board that stretches from the folded down bench seat edge into the footwell area - from memory about a yard long and tapering at the front. This gives you your sleeping area. Storage then at the extreme front of the footwell area under the board AND in the box upon which the board locates.

In the back on the offside you can pick up on the chassis rail and securely mount a box which houses a camping stove and pots and pans. If you're super-paranoid or likely to be careless remember that Reliant threewheelers go up in flames in seconds. I say securely because a friend rolled his and got a toolbox in the back of the head.

Instead of curtains at the back I simply cut hardboard precisely to shape which pressed into position - needed a spoon to prise them out they were that good!

happy days ,,,,,

Mild Red
