RowingBoatmanSteveParticipantRowingBoatmanSteveParticipantCompleted after 12 months of evenings and bonus COVID lockdown time here in Australia- a few custom modifications and personal touches along the way…
I reshaped the steel trailer to suit, adding Timbren suspension and a 130 litre water tank with pressure pump between the wheels. Battery is concealed in the ICC, with wiring hidden in the most part behind insulation. Fuses are accessed behind one of the small drawers in the galley module. LED lights throughout, including within the galley cut-outs and ICC lockers. Small drawers added to the galley module, as well as a pass-through into the cabin (provides fantastic ventilation as well as a servery for hot chocolate!).
Brass accents add to the retro feel alongside analogue Voltmeter and Ammeter dials, as well as a hydrometer and barometer in the galley.
I constructed the camper in my driveway under a tent – and got to meet every jogger and dogwalker in the neighbourhood over the 12 month build! Credit to John Harris and the CLC team for a brilliant camper concept in teardrop style – perfect for our camping and hunting trips…
