been around along time that idea ,heres my mates merc he did about 15 yrs ago. there was a company in uk doing it about 30 yrs aco .carcamper or something must look through old mags . but ideally use a eriba or hymer caravan as they have aluminium frames .most uk are wood and break up .they dont like the rigidness of being layed on the flat.
its easy takes a long weekend . there are no regs . do what you like so long as you keep with in construction and use for lights etc.
actually the one above was a van to start with .cut the van off and blended in the caravan best we could.

i used to like the sahara willies show when he was alive .its changed now but fantastic guy he was . spent many a chat around a fire with him on our travels . the germans do know how to travel put most uk to shame .
 
What can I search for on google for more info and pictures please?
 
Of course i would also say hymer and would also add that my hymers chasis is also spotless,also 20 years old,going to keep her to co full-time in along with our coach motorhome.
As the cupboards e.t.c and work tops are all made of chipboard and is as heavy as hell its going and will be replaced from something else.
We are going to visit a breakers yard on exmoor in a few weeks to see if we can find something that could suit.
 
Come to think of it does anyone know what the company is called that sells the silver roller doors that come with the plastic that screws to the inside of the carcass of cabinets and cupboards???????
 
Thats the type but a lot cheaper lol
All i want is the doors ,without the cabinets.
Had fogoten the name but yes tambour doors.
 
try googling ,,off road camper trucks .you tube .that might give some ideas of camper on trucks.

Have looked at cheaper ones but can't work out if they will rattle. No knowledge of the Waivis ones in practice though.

Where did you look at them and did you know who the manufacturer was?

I've looked at tambour doors in general builders merchants etc. They all seem to me like they will rattle.

Waivis are the only firm I have found that show them in Motorhomes, I have not seen them for real though.

I also seem to remember finding a VW conversion company that use them too, can't remember what company though. I'll go through my stuff, see if I can jog my memory.

Just because a Land Rover can't get there, doesn't mean it's off road. lol :lol-061:

I've done the mountain passes above Todra, well done in those trucks, especially the Dodge.

well you dont always need 4x4 . mind i did break the rear springs on the trailer that trip. bought some peugot and bedford springs in maroc made them fit .welded a couple with inverter welder anything to keep the wheels turning .
think its called wild camping . hee hee.
 
lets be fair though no matter how far out you go .there is still that old couple .him washing the camper her knitting or doing jigsaws . they say havent seen anyone for weeks . we always come here its so quiet.
you always find them possibly in there 80,s been going there for the last 30 yrs .
they are in a camper could be any make . how they get there with out breaking it is the question .
