Got the Dometic PW1000 awning installed yesterday.
The younger camper entusiast demanded some testing:)

This is one of the best real world 4x4 campers I have seen being put together on this site.
Love it!
As much as I love gawping at the big stuff like Mogs, I think this is the perfect real world machine?
A credit to your skills as well.
I bet you can't wait to use it! Where is the first trip going to be?

I concur with James! Just found this thread and while the Mogs are cool, this just looks epic and well done.

Thank you for kind words gentlemen.

Despite enjoying the build process very much, It will be exiciting to try it out.
Still quite a lot of work left, but we will start to use it for shorter trips to local lakes etc. this summer/autumn
First major trip will hopefully be Iceland next year.

Hi Jostein
I am very impressed with your work. I am glad you are heading for Iceland. Perhaps we could organize a Vario meeting.

10,5mm PEX incorporated in the sandwich, alu tape for heat spread. The plan is a separate circuit.
See Page 15 in this thread for some more pictures.

Going for a weekend trip last weekend in June, so have to keep up the momentum:)

Easy and fast to put down:

Kitchen is not finished, but usable. Fridge and gas top working.

Oh - and don´t take the F26 - use The Old Spengisandur track north-west og F26 - and you will have it to yourself :)
