Hi folks. As a former trailer manufacturer who is crap at precision woodwork, I'm cheating when I build a camper for my wife and I. My intention (and I've done the following before many years ago), is to purchase the longest wheelbase crew cab chassis cab/pick up I can find that is fairly new (10 years old or less) and bolt on a small caravan body minus running-gear onto it to make a camper. I don't want walk-through facility and anyway, for reasons not relevant here, I need to take my adult son and his girlfriend away when my wife and I go on holiday, hence the crew cab. As mentioned, I did something similar many years ago with a Citroen C25 converted to a 6-wheel recovery vehicle (bolt- on chassis conversion, similar to an Alko conversion) with an MKP caravan on top. It went like stink and was great fun. However, that conversion had the MKP as a demountable unit that sat on a welded subframe that lifted via 4 Lada Niva jacks on tripods (still have the MKP and tripod jacks! lol). This time, it'll be permanently fitted, as much as any bolt on body is permanently attached to a chassis, partly as I won't need the vehicle to have any other use, and also so I can meet DVLA's criteria for a motorhome. I'm just wondering if anyone else on here has done similar. Cheers and Happy New Year or Blwyddyn Newydd Dda as we say around here in North Wales.
