Re: My Mountain Biking Camper Caddy build
Good job and good review. This is my "Caddy Style", not tuning!
Many thanks for share.

Re: My Mountain Biking Camper Caddy build
Hi,
Have done some mountain bike related builds in the past and yours is looking on track. Are you gonna put in something for sleep too?

Re: My Mountain Biking Camper Caddy build
Nice build. I like it.
Are you running on standard wheels and suspension, and do you have any plans to change it?

Re: My Mountain Biking Camper Caddy build
Very nice build, thanks for sharing pics and information.
Sorry these are total newbie questions:
how is your ply floor fixed in place?
if some kind of screws go into the metal floor, how to be sure drill/screws don't hit something important underneath?

Re: My Mountain Biking Camper Caddy build
My camper bed was a little on the heavy side
So I drilled 250 holes in to the frame to lose 4K
I then taped up all the holes
Then filled the frame with expanding foam to stop moisture getting to the inside of the frame and rusting

Re: My Mountain Biking Camper Caddy build
Finally got round to finishing off the carpeting in the back of the van, just the bed to finish off

Re: My Mountain Biking Camper Caddy build
Got round to installing a pressure washer in the back of the van for cleaning the bikes
15 Ltr water reservoir
Pump wired in to the leisure battery

No more dirty bikes in the back

Re: My Mountain Biking Camper Caddy build
That build looks amazing. I am planning to do something similar over the next few months.
How have you found the Pioneer head unit? I'm concerned it might be a bit fiddly to use without volume knobs.
I could also do with understanding how the ply floor is fixed down, I am assuming self tapping screws...
I've got a crazy idea of making a metal bed frame that folds up and fixes to the side of the van but I'm not sure yet quite how it will look...
