Oh yeah? For ur truck? Or the same thing? It's turned out better than I thought it would. And I reckon it's gonna be heaps comfy to travel in, I tell ya what it tracks nicely along behind the truck. And I barely notice it on the back, doesn't have too much weight hey!!!

Nah mate I may be a gardener but I dont cut a blokes grass...he he!!!!!!!

As I mentioned I have 2 trailers and you have given me ideas.. I see Andy all comfy in his camper trailer and I want for myself!!

It would make a good project and make going away much easier on the body...

I think I will look into starting soon???

Bloody top job there rusty. That annex is a sweet thing to..
The only thing I would have done different was reverse you build. Do frame, then interior, wire it, insulate and then outer skin..
Would make running wires and pipes a lot easier.

but all in all I want one to BA..

I thought the same mate, but I was talked out of doing it by the old man, he suggested I build the outside first then check for leaks that way I would be able to find and fix a leak rather than not be able to as inside went on first.

Yea fair call. Also don't forget to grease those leaf springs.. don't wanna keep the others up all night..

it's about 10mm and silver foil one side and blue on the other, cheap as chips, don't go to clarkes, cost
a fortune IMO. Looking great BTW

thats a great idea about the solar panel, I was considering putting a basket ontop with a spare wheel in it but after seeing the height i dont think i want to increase it any more. A solar panel sounds like a great way to give it some more protection from the sun.

i plan on putting a battery box under the overhang at the front with the leftover steel box and colorbond. its all coming along nicely, its nice to feel encouragment from everyone too thanks guys



hey mate, sorry call me stupid but whats OW? would be good to find out an alternative to polystyrene from clarkies, they are very expensive!
