i showed him the trekover job in lroi magazine and he quoted me that, but i am going for a tub top fabrication that allows me to have a gas strutted secure tub, but also allows me to lift it off like a land rover bonnet, for when i need the tub space for loads,it will have a spare wheel carrier(so spare on gas struted bonnet and one one on the back) i'm having it done in 4 weeks i'll show you the pics.
he is also doing my chequer plating on the bonnet and wings for $400 which will be screwed on rather than riveted .....means as i am doing it arse about face i can remove it for painting when i get the bulkhead changed. all up $2000 for fabrication and gas struts on tub top, and 80 for gas struts on bonnet....he has an excellent gas strutt chap, will gas then and adjust them until spot on unlike some buy and good luck to you strutt people.

an after thought if you are looking for security on any fabrications, you couldn't go far wrong with these bad boys they are steel, and will be going into my tub top when finished. think they cost me 300 gbp each but!!

Here is my pride and joy, we are exploring Oz now, and when we finish I hope to sell the camper and do something similar to Mulgos rig. She has the kitchen sink, dining table/chairs, pantry, king size bed and heaps of storage.

Very nice 130 Pooh.
Did you made the camper?, if yes perhaps you can post some info in how you have made it.
Cheers
