Current set of custom designed parts in this build:

So far we have mounted the heater unit just to the Canopy Camper skin. Since this is fairly thin aluminium, we decided to support the heater with brackets mounted to the side extrusions: This should be fine now even on corrugated roads. Tomorrow we'll bring a whole bunch of parts to a local...

And the last few bits for the Webasto install: Proper venting also through the cap: UV protection for fuel line and rubber fuel hose connectors: This is a velcro close neoprene strip. Likely not the final verison of this, but it'll do. Thursday all the new metal parts to to the...

Finishing the tent:

Mosquito tent done: Big enough for two people to sit comfortably at a table and eat or just relax. Set up is about 3 or 4 minutes for one person.

All still available.

This is still available!

And more parts being tested and finalized:

So, back working on the Jeep again after the time in Europe. Testing parts I had designed and ordered before I left, the rear door really is slowly coming together. Brackets for Rotopax: Mounted: The bear container on the left doesn't stick out as much as it looks like here, this photo...

Two more photos:

Yeah, happy do so. We've been traveling around Portugal last summer a bit: Some fun trips, mostly in the Southern half.

;-) It has it's downsides. I'd prefer a Troopy (78) for lighter weight and smaller size, but the 79 is what we have. It's been a good rig so far. not nearly as comfortable as the Jeep, but we didn't have to build it either ... ;-)

Darn, should have thought about that beforehand. I'm already back in Portugal right now and flying back home to California next week. I'll be back in Europe towards the end of the year, but don't have a plan set just yet.

TÜV and Service. ;-) Portugal => Germany => Portugal

All this while I've been having fun as well. Overnight spot in Spain: Camper off to seal the drawer and repair the water system: Added quite a lot of plastic protectors around water and air hoses there. The weather has been a challenge though:

And another teaser, mosquito tent for under the awning:

I've been traveling out of country since the beginning of May, but since my wife is still working on stuff, there are at least some teasers. The bracket to hold the bear container we'll be using for our trash: It'll get mounted to the driver's side molle panel: For inside, in the upper...

Again, there haven't been many updates in the last few days, we've been busy with two projects: 1. Rear Door Mosquito Screen Since the mounting of the original mozzie screen didn't work with our furniture, my wife made our own version of it. The velcro will get attached in slightly different...

Again, be aware of weight limitations. The Gladiator has a payload around 450 to 500kg (unless you have the Sport version with the MaxTow package, that one has more). Four passengers, that's already between 250 and 300kg gone, depending on the passengers. Put the Alu-Cab (210kg for the basic...

Be careful with the Gladiator. The main problem is payload and I heard that Australia is much more strict about this than other jurisdictions. It's one of the reasons we go to some length to keep things reasonably light. Still, I'd appreciate maybe 200 or 300kg more payload. In Australia...
