4x4 camper

[BorderReiver]

ps border reiver you almost got the breed right, it's a deutsch drahthaar.

That's a new breed to me.

I googled it and it's a great looking dog.

Do you work him?

@ borderreiver: i guess the dd is the original gwp. it's a breed i totally love. they're real versatile, very hard dogs. you can get them to do almost anything under any circumstance. i don't really work him, but he's very useful where he has to be. got any dogs yourself?

@ nemesis: i didn't know about it untill i recently read an article on it. doesn't sound bad, but i got the idea that it's very time consuming, and a pain to install. if i'm wrong please let me know, cause i'll be interested to hear what you got to say.

I've got two.

A Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever bitch and a Hungarian Wirehaired Viszla dog.

Got to be careful what your Google Image search terms are... I tried "camper 4x4" earlier and got this:

...too many implications to list

Sure you didn't type in camp rather than camper?

Nice camper! I thought my Mazda Bongo Friendee was cool (apart from the name!) - I doubt you would want to move around in it too much if you were living in it anyhow.

I've got a 101" Forward Control Land Rover (one tonnie ambulance to ex sqds) which we use for expeditions and while we were home educating the kids. I'd like to put up some pics but can't upload for some reason. Anyone able to help please (I want to show off ;o)

Always liked the Forward Control ambulances, though mainly drove the air portable LR with 'Vague -O- Matic' steering.

With you on the lightweight. Only had a couple of the GS 1 tonnies for LLRP. Loverly V8 noise tho.

Use the Landy every weekend and holiday. If you ever see a big orange one with a roof tent and smoke coming from the woodburner in the back, give us a wave!

Ref Image Insertion;-

http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13734

In short , Upload Photo's to Photobucket account or similiar , grab the associated web page details from the photobucket account for same picture, high tail it back here and then use the Image button ( Little square with two mountains and sun ) to insert image details.

Hope that helps a bit.

You still got the 101?

DId that do it? Nice instructions by the way.

And yes it is still pride and joy (although in need of a new petrol tank.. and some new paint, and some leaks repairing in the roof. but it is a land rover.

That's brilliant

hi all,
i got a 4x4 swiss army camper truck, perhaps not very bushcrafty, but very cool though.
i have been living in it for a while now, and try to obtain a 100% autonomy, and wonder if there are any other users on the forum living life the same way...?

Have a look at this site buddy..... lots of good ideas

No Way Hose! (for Father Ted fans)
I'd never part with it. It is home for us for a lot of the time and gives us complete freedom. We designed it to live out of not live in so it fits very well with our outdoors existence whenever we venture out.

The tent takes two minutes to raise and sleeps two full size adults and is accessed via either the ladder (which we rarely use) or the escape hatch in the roof which also allows heat from the woodburner to heat the tent as well as the truck.

I'll take some pics of the inside and post them up - now that I know how to...

This is probably one of the best Unimog expedition camper conversions ever seen!

The design and workmanship is superb, she's an absolute beauty.

No way dude.

Ceck out the Maxi Mog.

I rather like the Russian Urals though.

 

[Overlander30]
