Note!Camper trailers are called B- and C-class, while the houses on wheels - only model A-Class.

is also worth noting that in some countries, without exception, called vinebago motorhomes.

Production of motorhomes car

to convert the car into a mobile home will need a lot of time and effort, as well as related equipment.

Production of motorhomes car

Note!You should first look into this matter in terms of legislation.Different recording companies by different perceptions of self-made camper and will be unpleasant, if the transport in the end to be illegal.

Step 1. First, determine the number of occupants and, on this basis, the vehicle selected and the inner "filling".It constitutes a detailed construction plan - it can be done on paper, but it is better to use a computer.

Step 3. Cut the vents and valves for the gas supply.All areas of the "bare" metal primer coating to protect against corrosion and aggressive environmental influences.

Step 4. House finished with thermally insulating material.

Insulation

Note!To do this, use only high-quality materials, saving is highly undesirable.Furthermore, the material of which the hardware (metal fastening members) should be similar to the metal vehicle body - is for additional protection against corrosion.

Step 5. trim the inner surface of motorhomes.

technology manufacturing

This caravan will be a trailer with a bunk bed in the rear.By the way, the bed is better to make the entire width of the structure - so she will be joining the side walls and thereby enhance the rigidity.Bay window will be made later and is equipped with an individual unit.The door is installed Dutch type - it will consist of two halves.

desirable to use battens of various thicknesses:

• to side walls - 6 mm;
• for front and rear - 19 mm.

Note!For thermal insulation can be laid battens two layers.

Step 3. Gender hiding plywood sheets.To use the roof bars made of poplar - they are bolted along the frame in increments of 30 cm on the parallel bars fixed plywood on top of which spreads moisture resistant material and small metal profile section..
