Sawtooth Unlimited - Off Road Pop Top Camper Trailer

[indiedog]

Really looking forward to seeing this come together, I know it's going to be awesome.

triangular kitchen' = end, cross-section profile isn't rectangular (as drawn), but the top is wider than the bottom, fitting the contour/shape of the trailer around it.

I looked at doing a wider slide out like you are talking about but that meant getting custom storage doors made with a truncated corner. Those are worth about 3-4 times what a normal storage door is.

Really looking forward to seeing this come together, I know it's going to be awesome.

Thanks mate

Not with the fiberglass pop top. However if you did the pop top straight up instead of hinged you could add a bed up above the main bed probably depending on how big it needed to be and who would use it.

The old micro busses were hinged pop tops and had a bed - not sure if your pop up is long enough for that though.

Where can popup kits in various sizes be purchased for DIYers?

You can find replacement canvas parts from vw resto places, but that would mean building one to that size. Any boat canvas shop should be able to make you something for the fabric stuff. Not sure where fiberglass parts/whole units can be purchased.

Yes I meant the hard parts.

Besides scrap yards, want to buy new.

FYI relevant gypsy style

It seema a bit narrow? Any particular reason behind that?

 

[john61ct]

Offroading into fed land and parks, both too wide and too high will create big problems.

With low narrow and ground clearance, and the right TV you can go anywhere
