Shipping Container camper...

[Desert Dog]

somewhere.......I have seen a picture of a euro truck with a shipping container on it for a camper box... It was notched in the front (not the door end) so it was able to fit on the truck bed and, because of the notched box end, became a cab-over camper box..

Anyone know where a pic of that rig is by chance.. i've looked all over ExPo but unable to locate..

Also, any other rigs with shipping containers as camper rig pic's would be appreciated..

Thanks,

Mike

Funny this... I have been looking for an expedition truck and when I was in the UK 6 weeks ago, I came across a beige/cream coloured Bedford truck which I think you are referring to, which had the shipping container which had the notch cut out for the cab. The website which was on the truck was www.travelling4x4.com but seems to be defunct now. I tried searching for more info on it but just can't find the details of it.

not shipping containers but still 'box' concepts, maybe you are already aware of these..

I am concerned about too much 'wind face' / clearance-height, and maybe tip-over on turns (?), exposure with a tall section above the cab and would go with the unicat style of raising the roof ( http://www.unicat.net/en/pics/EX47HD...2450L38-2.html ) if it were mine, for a lower traveling profile..(read: money is no object ...

lots of this type out there.. fun.. good luck on your search..
