Caddy Campers?

Post by unsunghero »

Hi, I’m looking for inspiration as I’m planning to create a mini camper, I know there are a few Maxi campers out there, but I was wondering if anybody had any pictures of any SWB Caddies that have had the back kitted out into a camper.

Also, does anybody know of any problems I may encounter wilst trying to convert the back into this mini camper?

Any pics would be great. Cheers in advance!! :)

Iv carpeted mine and sound deadened it I went go out doors got 2 self inflatable mattress founded them over so like a matteres n pillow n 2 king size quilts so tbh bludi snug bed sheet over head storage so no 1 can see in. Lol. And it's workable but you do need a pop up tent / awning I have a Quebec base xl pop up n it's mint. So semi camper.

It's all doeable in a swb, obviously easier in a maxi however...

Slept in mine two of us many times now, with a double air bed in the back as a temporary fix, I'm going to build a false floor eventually.

I too have sound deadened it and found some silver screens online which are fantastic, black out, warm and means you can use the cab space for storage!

A tent is my next move though, definitely needed....

Here's my bed tonight... Some pictures for you all thinking of doing this!
Double air bed, two duvets plenty of leg room with the seats forward...

And some of my silver screens, worth they weight in gold!
