Mate thats an awsome setup. You should be really proud of what you have made. Definately different to others out there and some really good ideas I think some of us will use.

I think it cost me about 6-7k it took me a year to build,(working on it weekends when not gold detecting) and I'm very happy with the results.

That's awesome. If you were following it would look like a hilux about to mount another.

Might do that with mine one day.

I'm really impressed with your creativity. Top job.

Awesome setup mate well thought out & excellent finish 8-) 8-)

Just one thing you might want to consider is puting a vent in the tool box (might be one there but i didn't notice it) on the front for where the gas bottles are kept i'm pretty sure they have to be vented, if you wanted you could use a 12v fan off an old computer

Well done on a top build love the kitchen & independant suspension

G'day Jonny,

I had a thought about your camper as I was driving along. I don't think the glass in the front of the canopy is tempered, and if you are driving on gravel roads, there is probably a high likelihood that stones are going to smash the window and end up all over the bed. Just a random thought.....

Anyway, still love your work, how much do you want to sell it for once your WA trip is over? :P

Cheers, Christian
