hello TC-friends,
in life things changes....and now we changed our rig. I want to tell you: kids are growing, daughter with her 19 years prefers to do holidays together with her friends, - same happens to our son, who makes his own "agenda". So, more and more my wife and me will travel alone, sometimes with kids, but less and less often.
So we decided to change to a smaller rig, which would produce less problems here in small european villages and parking slots.......
With tears in the eyes we sold our Dodge Ram and our nice Adventurer 810WS, which we used during 8 years. So, during all these years our kids were "growing up" in the camper ๐
Our new truck is a Nissan Frontier (here called "Navara", because it is produced in Spain). It's a 2007 model with 171HP Diesel engine, and very important: conforming to european emmission standards. The TC (made in 2001) is manufactured by the Italian "TrendUP" Company: TrendUp-Camper .
The great advantage is that the cabin consists 100% of glass fiber walls, so we get a very good isolation coefficient and we must not worry about rotten wood.......
All in all we are very happy, because we feel very cosy inside the camper. Important for us was a wet WC + shower room.
Here are some photos, hope you like them.
BTW: Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all !! ๐
(and yes, we are able to bent so much to use the toilet-... ๐ ๐ )
next projects (just i work): to take away the colored dots, to paint the blue corners into grey, to change the cushions, to install nice sound equipment and so far....

The European market of small, reliable campers is much greater than downunder, only comparable with the tough popup campers like Fourwheelcamper in USA !
No it is not Flaxi there are fewer builders than here, yes we have had fourwheelcampers pop tops and the others like Adventure, Northstar, Livinlight etc but they have virtually disappeared from the Australian market.These have not be suitable, that is why they have disappeared Problem is Japanese Pickups crack their beds in Europe but not here, you have a major problem in how you mount the TC's.
