    Perentie Camper Build

    Anybody on here own this? It may divide opinions. Its in murrembeena as I walk to the train station. Fair play to the owner, the camper has been added pretty much in the street. uploadfromtaptalk1429083633374.jpguploadfromtaptalk1429083762513.jpg

    Looks a bit out of proportion perhaps? It illustrates the problem that the original chassis/body is a little small for this type of mod.

    Extra shade for the driver may limit view somewhat, interesting awning over rear door which may increase dust build up in this area (a problem with rear facing doors in any case.



    Thanks for posting

    It looks horrible! I imagine with could springs and no sway bars and the high COG would make it handle very interestingly.

    I don't know much about campers, but wouldn't a pop top be more effective?

    You see the abomination in the flesh. It had a lovely canvas soft top before the camper was added.

    Sorry, it might be functional, but it doesn't do it for me!

    It's certainly not the epitome of style, but I guess if they get out and get amongst it then good for them.

    I think progress would be slow but steady. And hairpins would be taken at a very modest pace.

    When I bought my County it had a roof rack that extended over the windscreen like that but not as far. It was covered in sheet metal so air couldn't get through. Driving on the highway was like driving with an inverse parachute facing forward!

    I'll pass thanks!
