After a BIG trip from The NT to Tasmania, we decided that having a RTT on the vehicle was more of a pain than we needed. So I bought an old Army trailer (No 5). And set about modifying it.

I have many photos of us out camping. The following are when we had the RTT on top of the cruiser.

Very nice, this is on my list of places to explore. I have done some but that was over 10 years ago... Early December we are heading to Alexander Bay for a relaxing beach camp and fish.

Patriot Camper has something like this for their awning on the camper trailers.

Another addition I have done is the slide in chopping board which also doubles as the door for under the sink.

The best thing about building it yourself, is that you know how it goes together and if you need to modify/improve anything you can quite easily with out destroying it. Even with this build I had an idea in my head and 'most' worked out, those that didn't I modified so that they did. Its these...

Haha thanks for the 5 stars. The hardest part is to make sure its water and dust proof...

Not finished yet ;)

Ok back into it. Built the rear door. And thinking about it I wanted it to be sealed but also removable. Simple butt hinges made this possible. It is removable and can be used as a table.

Looks great.

Kitchen in place.

The 'over the centre' latches were not working as I would have liked. So I changed them out for T Handles. Perfect fit again (NO MEASURING) must be luck.

Then I went shopping for the next part of the project. Next onto the canopy doors.

It fitted in perfectly, and I never even measured lol

Then I installed our hot water system.
