DIY Offroad Caravan

Post by WayneSchalk »

My pa het so rukkie terug sy eie bos waentjie gebou en hy gaan orals met die. Ek het hom een keer geleen en gevind hy ploeg ook lekker.......

So ek het nou besluit ek gaan ook my eie bou. Ek will so bitjie verder gaan en eerder slaap plek binne he, en nie in 'n tent nie, en ek reken ek sal baie minder spandee, r as om een te gaan koop. die pryse vir enige sleepwa wat "4x4" of "offroad" aan het se prys is buitensporig.

Ek vat bitjie kortpad, ek het 'n nuut geboude sleepwa aangeskaf, die bed meet 1800 X 3000, die as loop mooi in die Vigo se spoor en is op 15" wiele.

Die "box" gaan heeltemal uit aluminium wees met 25x25 square tubing as die raam, en hier kom dit, dit sal aanmekaar gesit word met Connect-it blokkies, en daan met alu sheets wat alles toe maak met SS rivets. Ek gaan nie jok nie, dinge is nie goedkoop nie, Ek staan op R20k, en daar is nog baie om aan te koop, maar ek kry presies wat ek wil he. Ek sal eerder stadig bou en die regte goed gebruik.

Hier is 'n skets van hoe dit gaan lyk. :thumbup:

Die reen het my bitjie terug gehou laas naweek so werk sal aan die gang kom die naweek :celebrate:

Thins are on track to get the basic's together. Perhaps someone can help me out. Do you get 185mm circular saw blades for aluminium and where to buy? I can not find them, only bigger.

this is to cut the alu sheets as they are too long to go through the guillotine that is available to me.

Ek het die lem vir die circular saw by Chamberlains in Centurion gekry. Dit is 'n 190mm met 60 tande. Hy sny leker, en die oom wat my gehelp het by Chamberlains was ook baie behulpsaam, hy het voorgestel om 'n spuit bottel te kry met paraffin sodat die lem nie clog nie en die circular saw krap ook nie die alu soos jy hom stoot nie.

Baie nice! Ek hou hierdie thread met al my oge dop... :thumbup:

Kan jy dalk vir ons min of meer sê wat die Connect-It's kos?
Is dit los beskikbaar / kan n mens die hoeveelheid koop wat jy nodig het of is dit net in pakkies beskikbaar?

Ek het n epos vir Maizey's gestuur, maar hulle is nie baie hulpvaardig nie....of die seker net daai tyd van die jaar wat die outjie bietjie lui is. :wth:

Nee gelukkig nie. Daardie plek waar hy gestaan het, het my net 'n quote gegee op die herstel van die tweedehandse daktent wat ek gekoop het. Ek het daai sleepwa van scratch af gebou. As die ouens nog fotos soek, dan kan ek dit post.

I managed to get my hands on this :thumbup:

It is the Jurgens Oryx, otherwise know as the trax, as this one comes off a Nissan Hardbody.

The logic behind it is that I got it for less than what the project would cost to complete if I was to build it all myself.


The bonus is my trailer is exactly the right width, and about 600mm longer that will give me space to make a nosecone as packing space is limited.

So I got the Trax home, so the plan for the weekend is to get it of the trailer and on stilts so I can get to work, I have that evil wood rot on the one panel so I want to get that fixed. And then then get working on a frame to bolt on the trailer.

SO na 'n bitjie van 'n side track is ek weer aan die gang, dit is hoe hy nou lyk.

Moet nie vra oor die Oryx nie. Ons se maar dit is skoolgelde.

Lyk asof jy aan die gang kom, maar dit is duur skoolgeld wat jy more betaal, so ek moet vra wat het jy toe met die Oryx gedoen?

Wayne, could you not repair the wood rot on the body by just replacing the wood or does that damage the pannels ?
Was the rust on the framm to bad to use the frame ?
Your built is looking good so far...

It was made out of wood with alu extrusions that held it together. I bought 3 sheets shutter board to repair some rot but as i replaced one panel i saw the rest was also shot. So i did the math. Buy some steel, cost me R800 and use the alu sheets i have. Or redo all the wood at a cost of R500 a sheet. So i opted for the alu

Looking good :thumbup: :thumbup:

Are you going to keep it with that shiny look or are you having it painted?

I dunno, the alu will fade a bit, I was thinking of just slapping on a couple of vinyl's. Paint will just add to my cost and scratch up.

I was just thinking that the bare look might be blinding at times for other road users.

So the work continues.

The Easter weekend delayed me a bit as no one has stock, so this weekend might also be a slow one if my stock does not arrive.

I have ordered the stove and sink with the tap (*a* expensive) :silent:, Chane is working on the awning, and the electrics will be going in as soon as my 2 x 105 ahr batteries arrives.


So a lot to do. I must say, all the small things that goes into building this thing is what pushes up the cost quite a bit. :?
