I thought a few of you may be interested in the slide-on camper I built for my 130 a couple of years ago.
Car + Camper - details for the interested (https://watsonwalkabout2021.blogspot.com/2021/02/car-camper-why-did-we-build-what-we-did.html)
We ended up travelling and living in it for most of 2021 and it worked exactly as planned - about 3 minutes to set up or pack away and super comfy. It was designed for outside living / cooking / eating and so isn't ideal for long periods of rain, but that didn't affect us.
After the trip I realised that the aluminium tray was knackered from the weight distribution and sideways swaying forces, and so I have since replaced that with a steel frame tray.
