The ideal camping rig ?
Posted: Sat Mar 26, 2016 9:26 am
With Elders having left our garage it is time to consider our options .....
Would love to bounce ideas of experienced campers, and ear your input.
This would be for tar or dirt road camp sites - NOT 4x4 camp sites.
For overlanding few rigs can compete with a fully kitted camper van.
Limitations of a such a rig:
- limited seats
- need an oversize garage / parking area
- not easy to live with in town
Currently not a practical option for us.
Caravaning .... life style I know very little of. Would love to hear more from long time owners ....
The Sherpa looks interresting. But would need to know a lot more before I part with that type of money.
"Boswa" .... a very wide term !! The old TTT on a high Venter has grown up and there are now so many options !! In my mind (and that is a scary place to be) - a clam shell RTT on a LOW trailer. Trailer just high enough for a large ammo box .... Should provide sufficient packing space, yet low enough that getting into the tent does not require an extention ladder. Kitchen that slides to the back, with canvas that extends to the back for an afdak over the kitchen area. Have not figured out a dressing room for this setup ....
I see a project coming ....
