Off with the camper
Leaving the bakkie looking naked
A big rust-removal exercise; Eighteen months based within a stone’s throw from the breakers had rusted the 3yr-old camper’s weak points. Replacement with stainless steel was called for. Hinges, clasps, washers, hoist hooks, etc. New struts to lift the roof; Some sandblasting and powder-coating; A new Brad-Harris electric point; Removal of a slide-out washbasin setup; And back together again as in the feature pic. Gerhard and Vincent and team at AHA did us proud.
Next project a new windscreen and some major rust removal for the 17yr-old Ford.*

*Done. By PG Glass and Willie the panelbeater on his farm between Mtunzini and Empangeni. Now for a new electric window windup mechanism for the drivers door.
Nice. Have you always had the Windgat Wheels?
The mag wheels came with the Ford in 2011; the high lift was from adding an extra leaf spring and Camil shocks when the weight of the camper caused havoc. As you’ll see from their website, https://camilsuspensions.co.za/ is SA’s answer to Old Man Emu. And also for old men like me.
