Still no picture but this is the sales description:
Sadly, up for sale.
This home built demountable slide in camper was originally a rough copy of a Skarosser?
It has been modified many times during its use, to suit my changing ideas and requirements.
It is intended to be a 3 berth. One double in the cab over and a single in place of the dining area.
It has a 2 burner hob and sink unit with pump in removable water carrier.
3 speed suck and blow 400mm square roof light
3 x 10 inch led strip lights
Twin Calor Gas bottles(1 butane, 1 propane) complete with switch over and regulator to suit.
A 40 watt car stereo system with 4 speakers
2 x 110Ah leisure batteries
360 W solar panel
A Epever 30 solar controller with remote display
240V mains hook up
Exterior locking security handle
Exterior gas take off for a outdoor BBQ
12v to 240V inverter (1000watt continuous) with 2 x 240 sockets
2Kw diesel air heater with tank fitted with a superior “Afterburner” electronic controler.
Fixing to my Wildtrack pickup is done with 4 turnbuckles to the load hooks in the tub.
These are adjusted through access panels inside the camper.
The construction for the demountable can be seen, with all the good and bad bits, by going to:-

and look for “ SKarosser Copy Scratch Home build?????”
It is constructed mainly of 25mm x 1.5thick aluminium box section in a space frame design with heavier gauge 3”x 1” inch where extra strength or support were needed. The outer skin is off a role fibreglass sheet, single pieces where possible for water tightness.
Having learned lessons on previous projects, it is made to be water tight and rot proof.
The demountable has adjustable legs at the front and stands on 6 concrete blocks at the rear with the raising and lowering done using a 48 inch farm jack. All of which can be included in the sale.
It was intended to fit wind up legs all around but in use I found I never wanted to dismount the camper and found the jack relatively easy and quite adequate. Similarly, there is a separate compartment with a porta-potty toilet in it, which is handy for night time calls. It was intended to be a wash/shower/toilet compartment but again in use I found everywhere I went to camp and stay had toilet, shower and washing facilities available.
This has been not just the most comfortable and enjoyable camping I have ever done but an interesting hobby too. It was always “work in progress” to me.
The asking price is £2750 Most of which is to cover the materials build cost.
