Title: Room 48 Campers - Anybody into Woodgrain finish?
Post by: Mace on October 09, 2012, 03:36:43 PM

Not shure about their offroad capability, but these do look good!

The swing out Fridge is a great idea.

That gives another meaning to "Got wood"!

How beautiful!  Something that can't be said for many of the other types of campers these days.  Cedar is certainly a good timber to use ... although it does resemble a lolly pop of days gone by. 

I'd think I'd prefer one in Spotted Gum.  Always liked the look of spotted gum floors.  However, it doesn't do much for the Koala's.

Maybe I could stick my 20year old son in it. Cheaper than an extension.

Haha, I got this email yesterday too.
My first thought was, don't get it too near the fire.
Personally, I cannot see how it could be safe to tow, camp in or cook near...
Looks nice, I love timber, but not in a camper..

This is true, but in a house, it is not as enclosed.

From my take on the photos above, the kitchen is external.  Or maybe I'm wrong  ???

I would suggest that a wood camper as shown would be much, MUCH more flame-retardant than a canvas camper. But that's just my take.

Personally, I like it! Teardrop campers have been made out of thin plywood for years, this one being "nice" wood means you don't need to paint it. I can see it being towed by an old "woody" wagon, or even a VW beetle :).

I'd tow it!
