The start with Jake on board
A MAN 163 ex military reserve stock 4X4 truck cab was purchased in June 2012 for conversion to a live in truck for me. I then designed the exterior based on 1900’s rolling stock seen in India. My son Jake and I started work on the build in July
The first frames! in place
with additional frames in place, we laminated the roof curve over a former .
Completed frame !!!!!
internal first fix, insulation, wiring, plumbing and roof cladding
External cladding with felt an foil insulation
external cladding complete
Windiws and doors were added and the inside fitted out, it took 7 weeks to complete so we finished in late August.
Interior looking through to shower
Internal finish

Hi thanks for your comments,yes the frame work is strapped & bolted down to the lorry bed,
the timber cladding should last a good ten years or more with regular timber treatment.
the wood burner is a small Coalbrookdale cast iron stove, I heat water in a kettle on top.
regards Martin
How kool is your truck i love the cladding how long would the timber last did you bolt the framework to the bed of the truck
what type of wood burner did you use does it heat your water
Found your website, will study it soon.
