Roof height

Currently I am pondering raising the roof and additional 400mm at the front above the bed to give us enough room to sit up in bed. I am able to do this myself at a fairly cheep cost. So the only thing left to decide is if 3.1m is too high as this will be the total height afterwards.

Progress

Did a fair bit of work at the weekend. The storage box on the rear has now been removed and I have demolished the bathroom. Must take pics at the weekend before I do more.

I took the truck into Kamo today to see the Certifying engineer about getting a certified towbar design. They will have to modify the standard design slightly so that the towbar will be clear of the body. I also found out that it will require me to move the fresh water tank as it is currently right where the towbar will go.

Next weekend I will remove the kitchen bench and the water tank provided I get the time. Next on the list will be to move the bathroom window to the other side of the truck.

Welcome

Welcome to my new blog, the purpose of this is to Document the progress of my house truck build.

I've just bought a 1982 Ford Trader fitted witha box body with crawl through. Its was convered around year 2000 into a motorhome by some unknown person. The standard of work is not on par with what I would like so it calls for a rebuild.

I'm not worried about doing this rebuild as it will be lighter on the pocket than buying something pre-built. Also I would like it to be unique and not look like one of those 'off the shelf' commercially built cabovers. Also I havnt found a layout I like yet.

So I will figure alot out as I go, but I have a fair idea on how I would like this layed out and it I accomplishable.

Anyway enough for now and here is some pics of how she is now. (If I can work out how)
