bloody show off!

one day Alan one day
it will be your turn :victory:
mind you your 2 years in and still have an un galvanised un welded chassis sitting in the shed
if you dont extract a digit you might end up being to old to throw a leg into that cab (just like im getting)
tell you what if you can match my current pay, offer free board and lodgings with all the carlton cold and whiskey i can drink (boilermakers)
ill slip over to sunny melbourne and weld up your bits for you
how could you refuse :victory:

 

[alan]

I don't know if i could afford all the carlton cold!

slide on or permanent?
im thinking if I change out the current body Ill build a slide on
that way ive got a flat bed if needed and don't have to drag the house every time I want to go somewhere

There seems to be a million slide on options for 2 people slide ous I've been playing with sketch up trying to design one for 5 people, its tuff.

I like your trailer hitch design very much. The angle supports not only look very great, but add a nice mechanic advantage to whole setup.
I look forward to your continued progress. :Wow1:

Definately a slide on, 80% of the time it will be a flat tray daily driver and when we go away strap the camper on..:smiley_drive:

I should have about 14' x 7' to play with which will be just enough for 2 people with a shower and dunny,, five people would be hard, i did build an off road caravan years ago for 5 people, 2 adults and 3 kids i think that was 16' triple bunks at the back for the kids and the front dining table made a double bed for us at night it work really well.

I don't know how you design your stuff but I've been using sketchup, its great for testing ideas.
