Do you mean, where did I buy it or where am I for now into the transformation?

The whole fresh water circuit has been done from three tanks, being 100 litres each, connected to a 12V pump, 7 litres/minute flow, going through a big 20 litres expansion tank, to a low priced (read : chinese) gas water heater, supplying two taps, one in the kitchen, the other one in the bathroom.

The three rear windows in place, with the middle one being framed on hinges and gas lifting struts coming from a automotive scrapyard, to be used as a escape hatch. Insulation inside the box, everywhere but the floor, has been done with PUR hard boards, two crossed layers of 3 centimetres thick...

next step was to put the rear windows, I pulled those out of a Mercedes Van wreck, at a scrapyard, as I wanted windows with a DOT number one, still unsure if I wanted to let the truck be titled as a commercia vehicle, or let it title as a RV. Before that, I had to remove the rear door and put...

Hey! Let's start by the beginning, then... :p The first step was to pull out all the crap mounted inside the box to carry five horses, then to put the two side rear windows, bought second hand at the guy where I park the truck. Those windows were "vintage" ones, from the seventies, a nice ad...

This project is a low cost one, I didn't want to build an expensive RV, without any return for my money the day I sell it. For now, truck included, I'm almost at 10k €, which is almost the same amount in US $. All the stuff inside has been bought second hand (fridge, genset, "Webasto" 2000...

Table is folding like in a yacht, and removable to transform the "U"-shaped settee in a (almost) king size bed.

One of my friends had bought a camper based on a newer Mercedes truck, and I've found that the settee in the back was the better option to see outside the truck while parked. The fact I didn't put an opening between the cab and box allowed me to put the bedroom in front of the box.

Hi all, hereby some pics about my home made built LP 813. This truck is from 1982, it is titled as "historic vehicle", and as I wanted to keep his truck look, there is no passage between the cab and the box. being a member of a historical truck association, this truck has been bought and...
