During my build I constantly wondered why there was a distinct shortage of single points of reference for anyone embarking on a self-build overland camper project. It seemed to me that a contemporary build-your-own-overlander style manual specific to larger vans and trucks was something that was most definitely missing: so I’ve written one.
Based on my involvement with my own and subsequent builds, and in consultation with others who have successfully used campers to circumnavigate the globe – plus still more who have built everything from highly successful pivoting subframes to entire travel-proven trucks, this book consolidates some very valuable (and sometimes very elusive) knowledge and expertise.
Packed with images and illustrations as well as comprehensive text, it’s my genuine hope that it will be a massive help to anyone taking on a self-build project.
The manual can be purchased on Amazon, from many independent retailers, and directly from Haynes.
BUILD YOUR OWN OVERLAND CAMPER
If you’re an independent traveller you’ll know that getting to the places you want to be to do the things you want to do can prove less than straightforward; particularly if your passion is for off-the-beaten-track adventure and visiting places less trammelled by organised tourism. Within this book lies the ultimate solution: build yourself an overland camper!
Overland campers can take you in style to remote, inhospitable and otherwise elusive places; all whilst surrounded by the familiar comforts of home.
If you fancy the prospect of creating a bespoke and comfortable self-contained overland travelling solution – or are otherwise interested in building a robust and truly autonomous specialist vehicle to support a lifestyle, hobby or professional interest – then this manual will prove to be an indispensable companion.
Whether you’d be best served by a converted van, an upgraded off-the-peg-motorhome, or by what for many is the last word in overlanding vehicles: a truck-based camper, you’ll find within these pages clear and concise advice on sourcing vehicles, making vital modifications, building a habitation box and what to look out for when selecting the equipment and systems most suited to the unique demands of truly autonomous travel in tough terrain.
As well as guidance covering the installation of furniture, storage, heating, cooling, washrooms and kitchens; plus water, gas and electrical systems, this essential work also finally demystifies the ‘black art’ of how to deal with chassis-induced torsional stress.
Additionally, for UK-based readers, there’s even a unique section on relevant legal issues and a guide to threading through the officialdom involved in painlessly turning a previously unregistered large goods vehicle into a fully road-legal motorcaravan.
Armed with tenacity and moderate DIY skills – just like the self-builders featured within – you too can make the dream a reality.
