wildfowling willy 6 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 i have got more photos of the build but this should give u an idea of how i built it 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ferreting 22 22 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 How much did it cost to build as I am very interested in having a go Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wildfowling willy 6 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Around 750 but that just a rough gess but I had the roof made at doncaster plastics that was £100 plus but it as not leaked so worth every penny and I had an old folding camper that I used every thing off that stood me at £300 but u could do it cheaper if you hunt about for a camper with no canvas Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like you've done a really nice job of it to mate, where did you get the chassis? Was it a trailer tent? Once again well done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wildfowling willy 6 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Ye you need the folding camper it as it all on it already the trailer tents are to small and have no breaking or suspension Quote Link to post Share on other sites
air gun ant 1,666 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Ok, was there any safety tests it had to pass once it had been finished, or was that it? Just aslong as the chassis is sound can you just build and go or is there any regs to adhere to? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wildfowling willy 6 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I just built it off the chassis that was road worthy just like building a trailer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And what width/beam? I was thinking I'd need about 8 ft by 4ft but would like something around 10ft by 5ft? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wildfowling willy 6 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I did it in 8+4 ply no waste and no joints but I think the camper base was just over 4 foot but all the side where 8+4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

air gun ant 1,666 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Sounds a good idea, less joints = less places to leak I'll have to start trawling the bay for folding campers then lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
