John H here, Carawagon Junkie, 40 years of bad road behind me, most of you have heard the story many times. Busy converting my Jerry T 2009 Billing Rebuild SWB 2A into a mini-camper, not quite the Abersoch Express but with a 7'x3' demountable bedboard, rear seat, porta(ble)loo, washbasin, cooker/grill and a fridge. First outing Littondale 16 and 17 March then on to Skipton 4x4 Spares Day on the 18th. Just bought a Rapido Exportmatic folding caravan - amazing - have a look on youtube.

cheers

HI John

You've bought another caravan! There was me thinking you were going to buy Jimmy Saville's Carawagon Range Rover.

Hi John.
Love the caravan.
Here's a guy taking down in less than 3 minutes.

Hi Steve,

Maybe someone should have been filming us today then - we had it up and down like a yo-yo (with a twisted string ).

They make it look so easy on the youtube vids, but we just couldn't match their finesse

Cheers,
Robin.

Hi, It would be good to see your camper, I,v used an 88 many times as a camper bulkhead cut out and bed over bulkhead onto dash, but now I am doing my ser2 and wondering wich way to go with the bulkhead.

Best come to the camping weekend at Littondale then, the inside of my 88 should be finished by then

I would have filmed it.
At least one good way to earn us £250 on YBF!

I bet that guy in the video took about ten takes to get it down below 3 mins.

What a cleverly designed piece of kit, how do they stand up to the weather ?? What are they made from ??
