Off-road caravan build downunder

[perpetual.transient]

Here’s a few snaps of my caravan build this year. Independent airbag suspension, 320L water storage, 930w solar, 489ah lithium, 1500kgs tare, 2800kg max load.

The whole build is on going on YouTube if interested, new episode every Friday for rest of this year (Ep1-5 already up on the channel):

Finally, a camper with the door on the correct side.

That’s cool. Is that a hatch door on that rear cutaway?

 

[scruff1968]

yep its a hatch, i store the joolca shower tent, awning walls and a few tubs in there with spare ect.i have also fitted a diesel heater in there as well.i was going fit a pre made door there but had a small error which resulted in having to fabricate from scratch.i welded the beams on the wrong side of my marks

Lol. So many examples of same in my build. I call it getting creative. Like when i made the bumper bar legs 100mm too short and had to shrink the whole camper by the same ?

Looks like you nailed the dimensions. track, overall width, length, tongue, overhangs look bang on.

930w solar, 489ah lithium

I am envious.... I thought I over built with a 320W system and 100ah AGM battery..... ps, I did overbuild,,, my cooler takes less than 1Volt overnight. Now I'm looking at a 3000W Inverter..... it never ends I'm going to scrap all the propane white gas ideas and go pure electric for cooking and refrigeration.

I'm a bit smaller with a 5x10 Square Drop and 700KG fully loaded. Where I overland showers are readily available and the lakes are real inviting....

So many nights staring at SketchUp on the computer.

Whoa really nice build! Did you build the doors yourself? They look like recpro baggage doors except with t-handles which recpro doesn’t offer as an option.
