Might look at your idea for the ladder as
well.
No luck with the camper yet, starting to get a bit frustrated at the time lines but I know that most of the trades are flat out in this region. The steel work is all but finished will be going in on Wednesday when they return to have the final work done for the lock down points to the vehicle. Pretty much it's a combination of the telstra style bodies, the one made in SA and some hints from others on this
forum. Would rather have just got the one in SA and fitted it out but it's just to far away for a quick run. The passenger side has a fridge slide for a 60 litre engel, two _Affordable_Storage_Drawers.aspx and two tables that slide just under the _Affordable_Storage_Drawers.aspx. I've used kitchen runners, the heavy duty versions so hope they'll survive. Fingers crossed I'll have the unit by next Friday then I've got to decide on either painting or powder coating, get the canvas work done (they tell me a week for that) and the
suspension lift with air bags. Then I've got to do the fit out. Probably getting one of those expensive foam mattresses from Clark Rubber, have that egg
shell type foam on both sides at different grades. All up I expect the steel work to cost around $4k painting approx $1k, canvas $3.2k plus I paid for the jacks and runners so all up no more than $10k. Thats complete including the _Affordable_Storage_Drawers.aspx, fridge slide, rear wheel mounts and made to fit my large tray. Maybe even under $9k depending on the painting costs.
Mine has quite a bit of alloy in to keep the weight down but also took the price up.
Will have to swap pictures when mines finished.
