That is really nice mate. All the best with enjoying it to the max. Thanks Grizz,look forward to hopefully seeing you in the camping field at the gathering next year & seeing if your teardrop camping trailer has progressed anymore & I will have a lot done to the camper body by then if all goes to plan! Tim. Hi Tim, The trailer is complete..... though under-utilised It was all sorted by August 2010 when we went to the Gathering. Unfortunately, unemployment and life got in the way, conscripting it to the corner of the garage.  |

A little update I think is in order! I fitted the HEI dizzy & new leads so I could do away with the old points/condenser setup.  I got the camper body back from the repairers last week after they have had it for almost 3 months to repair the damage caused to it during the shipping over from the States but I did tell them I was in no rush to get it back! A bill for £2983.78 later which the insurance company payed I add this is it back on the truck!  Since then i've done a few jobs inside the camper. 1st was to install a 19" tv/dvd combi for the nights away!  Then today I removed the cold water sink pump & freed it up as it was siezed so now I have running water!  Also got the gas cooker working after checking there was no leaks on the gas pipes from the bottle to the cooker & fridge as the fridge is gas or 110v powered... Then to celebrate I went for a little drive down through Cheddar George & then on to Weston Super Mare & back.  |

I do love this set up. Had already spotted this thread before you posted on my camper thread! I had also already seen the original for sale video on You tube and drooled over it there. Looking forward to some more updates.

Matt Thanks for the kind words Matt.....the youtube video along with 90 photos via email the seller sent is what sold it to me & then i had to start looking into exactly how i was gonna get it over here,it was a long & sometimes stressful undertaking but i'm glad i saw it through as i have a truck/camper setup i've always wanted! |

So last Thursday i drove it to the custom exhaust fabricators......almost went deaf on the drive in on open headers but the finished result I'm left with has made me very happy as it looks good & sounds amazing as it's 2.5" stainless pipe all the way through to slash cut/polished tailpipes with a dual system with a pipe coming out in front of both rear wheels...... Here's a piccy or 2 Headers.....  Tig welded together....  Complete system shot...  Tailpipe on right hand side...  |
