Thats a top job.

Couple of questions:

Looks like its all aluminium? - what does it weigh?

Is the tray a custom job too?

Would like to see some details of the fold out awning - did you fabricate that yourself or is it some-one else's work?

Hi nig99,
The campers frame is alloy also the inner & outer skin with 25mm insulation on the doors & roof with 50mm in the end walls & base.
The dry weight is just under 300kg.
The tray was also made by me in the shed, had the under tray boxes folded up by a mate. Under the tray is a S/Steel water tank 98Lt & 120Ah duel battery.
We are agents for the awnings. You can have a closer look when we are down your way mid Dec.

Cheers David
