I pretty much took all the setup from my Paj. People s*** on kings over here, but honestly, I can’t fault it whatsoever. Been running this setup a year (plus whatever years previous owners used it) and can’t fault a thing.

Thanks mate. Really stoked with the budget ngl

Cheers bud. Yeah honestly it was a very cheap build. Roughly 700 minus the 12v setup I already had. Fan is on the cards for the rear too :)

Cheers mate. Yes, leaving in a month. Will live west for a while then finish the lap back at some point. Running a 160W panel, which is perfect. Replaced my voltage regulator so alternator keeps it juiced well during the day.

On went some paint

The following week, I finalised the horizontal and vertical panelling and opened up areas for cupboards. At the front would be a large storage area to house my 12v battery and other things. The bed side would feature two compartments holding various recovery gear etc, but also allow me some...

Decided to use my work breaks to make some progress. The girlfriend was going away on a family holiday across whole of August, so my plan was to have it done so I could live in it for a month while she was away. Work breaks alone allowed me to lay the forward framing and begin panelling up the...
