Stripping and welding


Most of the internal cladding and frame are out now and the skin is marked ready for cutting. The roof structure is fine so I've left it and two acrow props are now stopping it from crumpling into a heap.


On the right is the basic plan of the frame and skin. The overhang sits above the cab.


This is an approx. layout, with bed above cab and a little storage. There is a table and seat below that could convert to a single bunk and at the back a sink/hob, fridge, water tank and more storage. I will also fit the gas bottle and 12v battery in there too. Might be a bit tight!!



Here is the frame welded and ready to try for size. Note the high tech welding props.

And now on the truck. A perfect fit.


Next step is to take it over to the caravan and a good few coats of red oxide primer.
