Nominal Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Sorry this looks terible. I'm sure it's fine but my gosh... it's not my thing. It's OK, I wouldn't buy one either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willdat? Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 http://www.remotemoto.com/ Is a NZ bike focused site, but will give you a pretty good indication of where you might be able to take your camper. The latest project Binky episode has Lycra with resin laid over top as a way of extending flares on a mini, the concept could be a cool way of creating a watertight repairable skin for the 'roof'.

8ball Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Most 4x4 offroad campers that takes boats have a hitch mount setup that sits a tinny ontop of the camper. As for the suspension. Well when offroading the trailer tends to bounce around more so than the tow vehicle on rutted tracks. So a full on suspension is necessary if you don't want your camper shaking to pieces. Build an old school bus/motorhome and tow a small zook behind it. Or chuck a few scooters inside the bus for getting around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy to unhook the camper and go 4x4ing. if there is somewhere cool to drag the camper back to then go and grab it if it's worth it.. most NZ trails are so short.

I know when I lived in ozzy the troopies were let out to tourists on fraser island.... they just about all got flipped many bad accidents. I have this gut feeling that they are not ment to be stacked with bulk stuff up on the racks. Great wag's though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewaysickness Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 The pog and I followed that truck and a burgundy one over the wangamoas, fuck we were both fizzing over them. Also I will note they were both very courteous and let us pass as soon as they could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dustybenz Posted December 17, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Building your own camper is fun , look at how happy felixx is I like the truck above because of the duals , great for stability . I have sometimes thought that would be a sensible addition to mine , and a front diff ........................ But really ,, I find my off roading is just down some shingle track or grassy paddock so the chunky tread tyres and plenty of ground clearance work just fine . If you do build , put at the front of the build consideration ..... light , lighter , less is more. My camper is 610kgs and I would do the next one lighter. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
