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....

Have you got a bulkhead in it too or has that been removed?

Nope no bulkhead! Sleeping is perfect for two of us:-) just struggle to find room for our stuff ends up piled on the front seats. I can sleep in it with bike and kit for a weekend no problem though
