The all new "Road House" is in the design stage and I have searched the net and found that I like the Toyota Chinook Camper built in the 1970's. I have looked at hundreads of images online and think my Ford Ranger can handle a small camper built to give as much room inside but still be light to haul as I still have to tow a boat with a 3.3 letier V6 engine. I will build the "Road House", this year in the garage and equip it over the cold months so it will be ready to roll come spring. I will then begin the saga of this cheap camper on the road with a cheap man behind the whell looking for fun fish and good food cooked out doors and in the road houses small gally. Since I sold my other "motor home" the rust buckt, "roadHouse I" I am going to use half the money I got for it to begin this build. m I will at every turn use salvaged adn home built things to prove to my self and you that your do not need to spend over $100,000.00 to get away for a weekend or a weeks on end. I hope to have a well built small fishing shack on wheels to take to the ends of the earth if I want and still have money in the bank. I plan to build a full sleeper cabover camper for my small pick up truck. I think I can build it like a boat with stressed skins of thin plywood over an internal stick built fram and insulated every where so this home on the road will be warm and cool. I want to be able to pull over and sleep for the night and after cooking something hot in a small ship like gallie, then tolet and shower in the morring in hat water with a warm or cool cabin. I will also want to be able to sit and eat or talk at a comfortable table and relax sitting back on a couch type of seat that has storage under for fishing and camping gear. My new cabover should turn heads when I drive up. I want a usable, drivable rig that I pay cash for out of paocket so my wife will let me have it. So, here we go....let's get started working on The Road House II.
These are pictures from the Bimobil company I found on the net from germany. Ilike the overall design but want a camper that will slide into the 6 foot truck bed and that I can pull out and drive away. |
