Micro Camper Daily Driver Build

[jakemcc97]

Nice work! I'm just starting out on a camper build, loads of ideas to draw inspiration from here. Hope you don't mind if I nick your idea of using the tie down points to latch the furniture in.

How do you find daily driving a camper?

I got inspiration from a previous van we had from which used the over-centre catches and J bolts in the rails they fitted. So go for it.

As a daily driver the Caddy is pretty good. The conversion makes a bit of noise that I'm yet to chase down but don't notice the weight.

Thank you

Just had another flick through your thread - do you mind sharing where you got your windows done? Do you ever find the need for a second slider or are you happy with one sliding and one fixed?

Cheers!

The windows come from Campervan Glass. I got them fitted by Berkshire Campers in Hurst near Twyford, Reading.
The one slider seems perfect. It's not very sophisticated with a big recess on the outside but it functions fine and has effective drip channels that drains water.
It provides some ventilation without needing the door open and I can open the other door or crack a window open for a cross breeze.
Good level of tint. You can't see inside but there is a good view from inside

I would probably choose to do the same again.

Great, thanks for the advice! Been tossing up whether to go with an aftermarket slider or try and get hold of an OEM one, but it's encouraging that you think the aftermarket one is a decent piece of kit.
