SubscriberAlright, this is a must do for me if things turn out right in the money dept.
For a long while I was fawning over every other brand of vehicle for the basis of a 4x4 motorhome and then it hit me like a ton of bricks.
I have the best 4x4 in the world siting on the front lawn, so why not turn that into a motorhome?
The 110 is a 09 puma ute and I want to build/prefab a home onto the chassis.
Not so much of a problem as it will be sorted out when attaching the module, but I need to extend/open up the rear of the cab so that my 6'2" 110 kilo frame can squeeze in a bit better than it does now and offer through passage in emergencies or nasty weather.
Want a bed over cab arrangement and probably pop top for less wind resistance.
So why am I posting, well i need ideas from you lot. For example: beefing up the rear suspension, fitting a flush toilet that I can pump out as I hate the idea of carrying the poop in a cartridge if that is what they do and of course inside/outside H+C shower.
Solar power requirements for staying bush longer and of course the batteries have to go somewhere, fridge options like, pull out shelf types that take up less space and are at an ergonomic height. (don't know why they don't produce fridge type shelves for the back of wagons as it would be a hole easier to slide out than all that contraption like device that swings the fridge low so you can see inside)?
Decent bloody stove and sink, this could go outside, but remember it is not always fine weather and without flies and what is this new diesel cooker option?
And to top it off, a 2 seater dinette.
What have I forgot? Well I will leave that up to you.
Remember, all of your ideas will be of great use when it comes time to seek quotes for the build, so knock yourselves out............

SubscriberHmmm... King size bed, kitchen sink, Big plasma TV.....
110 is a bit small, 130 cab would be a better starting point, stronger chassis, more capable rear suspension.

I would be quiet happy with the length of a 110 if that's what you have already.
To keep the centre of gravity low, I would have a pop top roof for when you need to use the bed.
With the sway, look at fitting anti sway bars front and back, that should make the on road travel a lot more comfortable.
Cooking is best done on the outside of the vehicle so cooking smoke and/or smells don't get into your clothing and bedding, with an option of only using the stove from the inside when the weather get's nasty.
With a pop top roof there should be enough height to stand inside, but don't shower inside the camper because of of the potential of mildew forming.
The other function, well! privacy sort of over rules the other concerns, its about personal comfort.
Look at a rear mounted spare wheel carrier that instead of swinging sideways, is hinged to fold down with a aluminium plate attached that then becomes the floor for an ablutions tent.
LED lighting keeps the battery power drain low, with a couple of solar panels attached to the poptop roof to top up to it's capacity and then you only need to use the vehicle alternator when the panels can't do their job due to cloudy weather.
In line with keeping weight down, a Sat phone and a EPIRB should cover that obvious need, maybe a UHF CB as well, but only if you need to keep in touch with other road users.
With the bed base and mattress use bedding and a supporting platform that breathes, again of being mindful of the moisture from sweat. With the inside of the camper use plenty of insulation, with some ventilation, to stop the condensation forming under the roof and on the walls, maybe you could look at fitting a tropical roof skin to the camper poptop.
Yes I have been thinking as well! Hmmm!
Maybe a rear V8 engine auto on gas and a forward control driving position would be the way to go.

Buy the book!
Space is going to be your biggest problem. I'm trying with a 130 and it is still a squash!
