    That's a 130 Dual cab HCPU tub - not enough length for a kip unless you're seriously height-challenged.

    Don't mind the price though.

    I wonder how much additional weight the RR axle set up adds...and the advantages of it over a standard leaf spring set up..

    May need too add some protection at the front, those pole carriers and fuel tins would last very long otherwise.

    That diff setup would need too be changed to shed some weight too.

    Made my first Camper out of a 130 tub, full length bed (drop down extension), SS slide out kitchen, 2 slide out drawers under the bed, 12v water supply 6o litre tank inbuilt gas stove, annexe extension out the back. Was a good setup.
