I think i have at last decided what to do with myself over the next few years LOL, well i hope a bit sooner. The thing is i have wanted to go over to Spain on a driving holiday, but now as i have got this Portuguese vehicle i think its a good idea to go there instead, well aswell, so i can visit a few car breakers for parts for it, i havnt told SWMBO about that bit yet so sshhh LOL
At first it was a 5th wheeler i wanted but its way to expensive for me to build it properly, so the demountable came along, but then i came across this caravan which looked ok at first, now it was cheap for what i offered him for it so i wasnt bothered what was underneath, i was going to renovate the C`van as its a nice looker.
This is my pride and joy which i have been using in the last month or so for my off road toy aswell as everyday car.
And the C`van i was going to fix up
I like the van but as i was ripping out it got worse and worse, then over the few weeks i have had it, and still with the idea of going abroad and towing a c`van the idea came back to do the demountable camper for the UMM.
I am still deciding if to use the whole caravan body and parts, electrics,cooker, fridge, cupboards etc etc, or build a new body and use the accessories, the thing is i dont want it looking like one of them campers where it looks like a c`van just dropped on the pick up, i think i can make it look half decent though.
Most demountable have a rear door but if i use the c`vn body then i will be able to keep the door where it is, on the side, i will need to shorten the back end and loose the rear kitchen as the overhang will be to much i think. But also keep a small loo room.
I have been wanting to do some proper measurments but i have once again lost my beloved tape measure...like i do.
So keep watching and see what happens
Wolly n T
