So it’s time to pay forward for all the blooming good tips / ideas / thoughts / information, that I’ve “stolen” from this forum. Being informed – knowing the theory / background really does help when faced with “what does one do”... Having spent time in a company that made <amongst other...

BACKGROUND...  (I’ve done some posting’s on the forum conversions and modifications about my project) So post shakedow, and tweeking some of the things that where not that great, and re-organising my clothing storage (from a backpack to a 3 draw plastic draw unit on the passenger seat & facing...

So I got It'l Dodat (that's my Landrover's love-hate name, shortened from: - if I want to do this, it will do that.... If i want to do that, it will blooming well do this.....) Any how, I got him back from the doctor yesterday and it's all good, so there's me, early evening, back into the...

Morning everybody. A big thank you to everybody who viewed my project posts, I sincerly hope that there was some info that I was able to pay forward. :cool: For a number of “global” reasons, living a “free life” in SA would be very difficult. That being said, I do know of a few who are...

Did I mention that part of my build plan was to pay nothing ?    :D   Anyhow this is where the wheels nearly fell off because of the wheel well. With my Waeco 50L flat on the platform, the wheel well pushed it into the bed space, and it was nearly impossible  to look into the freezer, and If...

Hi All.. Happy that I can post again.. Thanks a ton HDR I think it’s time that I post about putting my project together, so just to refresh, My project brief- outline was to re-configure my Landrover Discovery II into a one person camper in such a way that it can be re-constituted as an empty...

Another of my little "inventions" Fundamental principal of fixing.... If you can't hold it you can't fix it. so here is another of my little modifications, that I've found to be jolly useful over the years... My vice post that locks into my reciever which lives on my roofrack... The whole...

From time to time, when I've gone on an adventure, I've travelled with a tranny... Consumes a bit of alchohol, but really cooks up a storm... Unfortunately, it's  "fiddly bit's" don't quite meet my.......... Well I suppose the polite words would be... My needs.... So this weekend at the...

Morning all. From the outset, my project brief was: - My platform – tug – vehicle is my bedroom and my transport, everything else happens outside. By everything I mean: - Cooking & dishwashing / personal hygiene – showering or basin bathing / toileting / getting dressed / laundry ..... and so...

Ok, so just quickly, here is the nuts & bolts of my solar set up. I only need solar to drive my Waeco 50L fridge freezer. I use gel packs frozen in my freezer in a polystyrene cooler which is my grocery box and just swop them out. A small panel does for the lights... I dont have connectivity...

Morning all..  At some point during my project, I had to actually use it. An opporunity came up a couple of weekends ago with our local camping forum getting together for 4 days, at a campground about 100Km from where I live. So there I was surrounded by trailer palaces, micro camping out of...

So as promised, here’s going to the toilet.... I’ve got several different systems that I use,  depending on what I’m doing, but the can be grouped into 3 groups, the cassette toilet (Thetford) The cat trench and the plastic bag groups... All of you know them so this is not really about the ...

Still on the subject of emergencies and so on......First-aid....don’t panic! As a solo traveller I strongly recommend that you empower yourself with the knowledge of how to treat injuries.... By empowering yourself you put yourself in control, and if you are in control there’s no panic. Most...

Where do I start? At the beginning would seem about right, but then in true character BOB, will very shortly pitch up at my post and say “I have to ask, only because everybody asks me to ask this, how do you take care of business? IE shower & poop”? And that would be right about bang in the...
