Hi all, sorry re the late intro. Stumbled apon your site when searching for "DIY offroad camper/caravan build" and found the best DIY's anywhere on the net. I am planning a DIY build of some sort within the following criteria ..Single axle,Independent Suspension, King Size bed, Shower/Toilet, Pop or Tilt Top,basicly I want to rock up anywhere and go to bed with minimal setup. I have been inspired by the UEV 490 so my build will be modelled on this. Tug will be KK Cherokee Limited and in the future JK Wrangler (planning to buy 2nd hand CRD 4door later in the year) I have built my own service body for BA Ford ute out of ally (very different to what is commercially available, I have 4ft folder and MIG setup for ally) but am interested in the Ullrich Ultrasign  product so not sure on construction yet. Hopefully will have something to put in the Build section soon Cheers ..Michael..
