Everything except for the chassis, which is a Jayco chassis, been making it up as I go along.

I wish I did build the chassis, I could’ve saved a bit of weight and changed the style up a bit.

Slowly making progress, just put in the diesel powered heater, water heater, shower and new toilet. Couple of Maxxair fans and just working on the gas bottle box on the drawbar so I can get the hot...

Yeah it doesn’t look as bad in person, it’s a Jayco chassis.

The ball weight is only about 80kg so I will load all our stuff at the front of it.

It tows really nice as is though, no sway at...

They were on TM, the guy had them listed for 200 each then relisted them at $50, he had 20 but I only managed to get 4. He was a commercial guy in Hawkes bay.

I can find his email if you like.

I think it was about 10mm, not far. About how far the blocks sat above the main casing.

Not bad for its size and fully laden apart from empty water tanks. Kitchen, beds, solar, batteries, fridge, cabinetry/cupboards all installed, just needs windows, toilet and shower...

It has a 6.8m body, panels only came 6.5m long hence the join near the front.

It's a 75mm Ali angle extrusion, 50mm on the interior joins too, all glued and riveted. Couldn't get anywhere to roll...

They will be one of the last things I put in, as I'm making it up as I go along I'm not 100% on what size and placement I want. That's the beauty of these panels, just cut a hole out anywhere.

I ended up drilling into the terminals and tapping them and putting in a 8mm grub screw, just waiting on a BMS for it now, $250 for a 100a/h LiPO4 battery is a bargin. they're far lighter and have a...

Trees have almost blocked it out, another year or two.

Still working away at it, just put on 480w of solar and some Lithium batteries in it to run the fridge that my wife demanded.

Still a lot left to do but will be able to sleep...

Still making it up as I go along.

Haha I just use it for manoeuvring the trailer around. Moved it around no problems even with the 400kg of panels on it.

Finally got mine underway, very much a make it up as I go along build, I know bugger all about caravans apart from watching 'Snatch'.

Jayco Chassis which I've raised a bit to make it a bit better...

Has anybody here ever used those large plastic honeycomb panels like the Europeans use for making caravans? Structural so the chassis doesn't need to be so strong.

I'd like to build a lightweight...
