    Leesurelite Wheel Mod

    Yep! All valid points. My biggest obstacle right now is to convince the wife that ‘any’ of it is a good idea!

    Leesurelite Wheel Mod

    Good information to have. I would have wondered about why those ‘little wheels’ would have been stock for that unit but I think it might have something to do with the intended tow rig? These are marketed to the Trike/Harley/Gold wing crowd. Not sure that’s the reason but I appreciate your...

    Leesurelite Wheel Mod

    Not sure this is the right place to post this but I’m sure someone will be kind enough to tell me where to go! :cool: I’ve been looking at the Leesurelite (Excel II) campers by Sunlite. Traditionally, for use by bikes and trikes, they are ideal for taking into some narrower logging roads...

    Spacekap camper question

    Thanks! That’s a great description of his build. Lots of photos. I’m getting the impression he’s using it as a trailer to haul stuff rather than a place to sleep in. Not 100% sure. I’d forgot about the MUD group. I’ll have to spend some time checking them out. It’s a long winter so that’ll give...

    Spacekap camper question

    Yep! That’s more or less exactly what I’m envisioning. Not sure what the dimensions are of the box or the trailer but at least it’s a proof of concept. Do you remember where you found the pic? Was there any interior shots? Thanks for this. Now the big question remains, why don’t we see more?

    Spacekap camper question

    Haha. I have followed Joel and his build. Some great stuff in there and certainly was an option I had considered strongly. There’s also a couple that have built what they call a Rescue Wagon. Again, great stuff but I’m a firm believer in the KISS principle. 95% of the time it’ll be just me...

    Spacekap camper question

    I agree about the truck bed as a starting place but I think that’s overkill for what I envision. I still have to convince my CFO(👩‍💼) that this is a good idea.

    Spacekap camper question

    Most SpaceKaps I’ve sourced are for an 8’ regular pickup. So they are probably on the vicinity of 5-6’ at the widest part of the shell. However the majority of them are designed to fit between the wheel wells in a truck box and I’ve seen dimensions anywhere from 48-50” for that span. I’m...

    Spacekap camper question

    Light in the sense that the unit I’m considering is just under 500lbs before add ons. Cheap in the sense that a quick search of Kijiji near me lists units that would be suitable for my plan at under $1500. In today’s economy when a piece of plywood is pushing $100 that’s attractive. Not to...

    That’s sort of what my thinking is as well. But I do love a challenge. 😎

    Spacekap camper question

    Love the build. Checks a lot of boxes for sure. Seems a little more ‘involved’ than what I envision but to each his own oui? Plus I’m really keen on having something I can slide off the trailer allowing it to be used as just a trailer for dump runs etc. I’m thinking of Mounting the spacekap on a...

    Spacekap camper question

    Interesting thought process. Have had that idea but decided against for the following reasons: 1) truck campers tend to be heavier and with waaaaaaay more stuff than I will ever need. 2) some of the places I’ll be trying to go with this unit I’m thinking of are somewhat gnarly and closed in. I...

    Spacekap camper question

    I’ve looked at a lot of Cargo Conversions ranging from a cot inside with a Hudson Bay blanket to something that a person could live in full time. My main goal is to have a relatively inexpensive and lightweight unit that doesn’t stay permanently attached to a trailer, freeing it up for other...
