Re: Suntrekker with Wetroom
No not the same Romahome - ours was on a 1.3 Daihatsu Hijet. The worst thing about the Hijet are the headlights and yes the tail lights / sidelights run through the same fuse. But the worst in my opinion is that the headlights especially the driver's side are prone to rusting out. Now the version of...

Re: Suntrekker with Wetroom
Amanda - a weird coincidence but I suppose inevitable that if you like the little Romahome you will upgrade to the slightly bigger demountable - on the bigger truck. :D The sign man is very helpfull - I had a picture of the logo which I copied from a phot of the T4 project on here. Then Photoshopped...

Re: Suntrekker with Wetroom
Re the need for a "lift" today I went out and reached floor of luton to cab roof - pushing an offcut of the foam and near to the middle of the cab roof the foam was in contact with both roof and luton. So from this I think before the lift the middle of the roof had been in permanent contact with th...

Re: Suntrekker with Wetroom
Foam underneath to lift the camper body up a bit - wherever did you get that idea? Having lifted it, how are you securing the camper to the truck? My experience has been that you shouldn’t need any lift on that version of the Hilux. I had one, and, when stood still, everything fitted just fine. But...

Re: Suntrekker with Wetroom
Even a couple serve to break up a white expanse of camper don't they, your ebay contact sounds a handyman to keep note of We are thinking about the blank side. One idea is to cut our own and put "arty" impressionist trees - the problem is creating something that does not look like the side of a tru...

Some pics of the camper getting lifted.

I don't think the increase in height is really noticable looking from the front - no nasty gap between the luton and the cab roof.Jon

Re: Suntrekker with Wetroom
Today we lifted the unit off the pick-up and lifted it with a sheet of 50mm Recticel - It may be imagination but even on a short drive I thought I could tell the Centre of Gravity has shifted. I definitely have to extend the steps - it had been on a maybe list, but the 2 inch lift has made it impera...

Re: Fitting a Suntrekker to a Mk 8 Hilux
I went to B&Q today 15th May to get a sheet of Jablite - they do not have any and do not know when they will any as there has been a fire at the factory that manufactures Jablite. So we went to Jewsons and bought an 8x4 sheet of 50mm RECTICEL a Eurothane material compression is 150Kpsa which equates...
