Ok seeing that I need to mount a RTT and unfortunately
the canopy that came with the bakkie is useless for this purpose
I decoded to give it a go at building one.



Sides have a 7 degree slant, just to give it a bit
of shape.
On the top its not getting any more slats, those are close to each
other so that the RTT can mount on those lats.
My first attempt at cladding ended up with me having fun with a
10 pound hammer, I made a mess but at least I felt better.





Ok basic canopy finnished and sort of ready for use
this weekend?



Ok, had some spare time this weekend and so decided
to give the Kitchen a go, here are a few pics just missing the Coffee
mugs and the small Spice rack and of course a good varnishing.

Ok, Canopy is finally ready for its first adventure
trip.
Under the carpet is a 60L water tank and a hidden storage space.
Finally the kitchen is complete.
Last pic is the drawer syetem installed.



Ok here we go with the costs to build the canopy,
