Bimobil type
Posted: October 5th, 2015, 10:01 pm
Hi All
after considering many options I have an idea to build something , still just an idea at the moment . I am looking for something a little simpler and lighter . The Bimobil type looks good you can see a video here.

Here are my reasons
They are more spacious .
We would probably go away for a week or two at a time rather than a. weekend , so the extra faff of mounting less of an issue.
I already have an engine crane , with a long reach and wonder if I could lift off the buck with the canopy still atatched through the back door . If so the mounting could be as easy as a standard demountable that uses a canopy.
It would be great to get rid of the weight of the buck and tail gate
More storage under the seats for heavy items , gas , batteries etc , making more stable.
The option to put the door on the side .
A nice feeling of it bolted solid to the truck
More stable on its legs as the front 2 would be as short as the back.
Much easier build shape.
And not so .....well....ugly
I don't think I would have a boiler , A/C, heating ,indoor shower, but would have outside gas shower , solar TV. I don't know if I could manage with an electric cool box or would need a fridge.
I would welcome some other ideas , let me know what you think.
