    off road camper on a budget

    A mate of mine had an Ex-Military Uni-Mog fitted with a Radio Box which basically is a small room. It had desks and chairs which the radio operators sat at whilst transmitting/receiving but once removed or re-used you have a great base to work from. Of course if you are 6ft 6 you may have...
