Thread: Spudboy's super-sized camper replacement for a 130 - and no it's not a Unimog!

Sounds rather like the stuff we are using, except ours is fibreglass on both sides. It got manufactured up in QLD:


The thinner stuff is for the internal walls, table and bed base etc

Very nice, great project.

Firefoxgc has just built his third caravan using insulated fibreglass, I dropped a link into goingbush's thread......might be worth dropping him a PM

Mate ....

fantastic , .
We considered an Amesz Man 4x4 4WD Off Road Motorhomes and could still be on the cards in the future.

First bought to our attention on the Tanami Track whilst driving our 80 series Landcruiser & Jayco 'outback camper' settled down to a speed somwhere about 70kmh on the huge irregular corrugations and a Man 4x4 sailed past us like we were standing still with the suspension hardly moving and the corrugations all but completely dissolved by the huge super singles . a beutiful thing.

will watch with much intrest (end envy)

I'm heading off to Braybrook tomorrow to load the trailer up with 50mm EPS panels aka Coolroom sandwich panels, will see what I'm like at building a house of cards. not going to be fun outside in this gusty weather Melbourne has been inflicted with the last few weeks !!.

Well I've being watching your Iveco build with much interest, as we started to head down that track. It's a size in between a 130 and a full size truck, so I think you'll get more places than us.

If there is enough cash left over at the end of the build, I'd like to get central tyre inflation fitted. There is an Australian company that fits aftermarket CTIS to all sorts of things but mainly trucks:
AIR CTI

yes, you will need a big compressor to make those SS's go up and down

You obviously have a bigger backyard than I do! ha! Yet another thread I will watch with interest.

Super sized alright, can i get that with a boat and dirtbike to go- hold the fluffy dice.
