Handmade Matt: Demountable Camper Van. 4 x 4 Pick Up Truck.

Ill just leave that there.

some of the things this guy has done are awesome.

this is one of them. I love this camper.... even if it does look like a shed(litterally)......

Looks like a well executed top gear project...... I expect it would demand guffaws of laughter if you saw it cruising down the a92.....

impressive, some people just have it, very reminiscent of a gypsy caravan.

I wonder how much that lot weighs and if it's within the weight limit of the truck.

The article says 890kg, a quick Google says the L200 can carry 1145, so yes.

I'd prefer to convert a 110/defender ambulance, or better still one of those Aussi wide track jobs

Ambulance bodys are out of my budget.

I like it, well put together .

would look nicer with a canvas and size roof IMO, with the corrugated one looks more shed than gypsy caravan,

I bet his mpg is impressive dragging that thing thru the air !

it has a powerful 2.5 L engine ? I have a l200 and there quite slow with out a shed on the back lol

Looks like something you might see across the channel, probably on the back of a Citroen

I had a Walker de-mountable that fitted into the back of an S3 109 but the drawbacks were the inability to move the DM when it was on it's support legs & the almost total absence of any storage, due to the LR's full-length rear wheel boxes.

Wow some people really go the whole 9.

I kinda love that shed on wheels look

went to look at a tandy pony at the weekend.

its just that bit too long - 50cm shorter woulda been fine and too high fixed in position - again 50cm shorter would have been fine. How ever it gave me some serious ideas of what is possible in a such a small space and a pop top.

officially a 3 berth - although it would be tight - 2 on the luton and one on the bed to the right. has a fridge , sink , cooker , grill and toilet. I could live with just a fridge and a sink to be fair - Gas BBQ for cooking under exterior awning.

Looking at extruded plastic cladding , kingspan, box section steel and different bonding methods atm.

If i can get the pop top roof design ironed out. we will be cooking with gas

The bed on this is short- 90mm longer than the 90. but it fits
