LRCC

Hi All,
Most of you know me as I am the Yorkshire area series2 rep. For folks who don't know me Idon't have a camper but i do have a very nice overland tent with log burner which can keep you dry and warm when your carawagon roof leaks.Lol
Any way i am on here now .
All the best Gordon

Hi Gordon, and welcome

Cheers,
Robin.

Thanks Robin,
All i need now is a LWB to convert.
Gordon

Aaagh - I seem to remember you asking about my LWB, although how serious you were about an S3 rat, I'm not sure, but perhaps I should have given you a chance

Anyway, Rex has gone to a very nice guy in Sheffield, and I hope he's happy there - I do miss him as he was the one I could jump into and drive without thinking as he was well sorted and so light to drive.

Now I've got two lumbering beasts, Steptoe with all his heavyweight additions & 6 pot Diesel slogger of an engine, and my Carawagon (not so much of a slogger now with the 200TDi & 3.54 diffs ).

Hopefully, if you're serious about a LWB conversion, you'll see plenty of ideas here.
MrLeadfoot has loads of pictures in a gallery - lots of different conversions viewtopic.php?f=10&t=18#p49
There are a number of ways to convert the roof - my favourite is an Australian couple's idea - hinge the roof at one side and flip it over 180 degrees with a 'pram fold' tent opening with it. That gives a double bed in the roof, and loads of space in the vehicle. I was in the planning stages of that, and even had a single skin roof lined up to start the project before my Carawagon appeared.
Perhaps I'll still do that with Steptoe, once all my other projects are finished

Cheers,
Robin.

Hi Robin
I have already trawled through all of Mr Leadfoots photos there are some great roof conversions, Just need some spare cash .
All the best Gordon

Hi Gordon, you don't need a LWB to convert, just change a Shortie!
