Go weep. Double bed. Single bed. Cooker. Loo. Kitchen sink. Fridge. DVD. Laptop hookup. Just bought a shower to rig up (outside of course).

Yeap we sleep in our 110 :-)

Nice!  I want one!  Did you buy it with the roof on or have it fitted?  I had a look through your profile pics but the inside hasnt got all the fittings?  Any chance of some inside pics?  I would love a 110 camper but dont fancy paying a fortune for a pop up roof :(

Cheers,

Mike

We  bought it as a straight matt green One Ten.

We then had the roof put on by Foley SV (just after that are the only shots of the inside). Foley stopped doing the roofs shortly after. I think they only made 15 in total but may have been 20.

Other options are a couple of companies in austria/germany and dormobile down south. I think dormobiles are side hinged and made of fibre glass so cant be used as a roof rack.

I will try and get some shots of the inside tomorrow. Essentialy we still have the 2 sideways bench seats with sink on one side between the seat and the rear and on the other there is the cooker. Both are built into/on cupboards to give extra storage. There is also storage under the bench seats which have custome cupboards built in.

The 'single bed' was made by fitting a bulhead removal bar. With this fitted we can remove the front passenger seat squab (placed in footwell) then fold the front seatback forward so it is completly flat. The back cushion of the bench seat is then placed over it giving a bed that is a little narrow but well over 6ft long.

The awning is a cheap caravan one from towsure (cost less than £80) fixed on by a caravan awning rail that is screwed to the bodywork. The awning can be slid out for storage (stops anybody with light fingers helping themselves).

We made the roof console ourselves and it houses the radio and CB.

Made the cubby ourselves and used an elctric switch console, designed for a boat, to fuse and control all the extra electrics (with a seperate leasure Batt. that also powers the winch).

The internals were designed and built by Karen (the wife). I just did all the electrics.

Jobs to do are new suspension as the old one has just about given up, make some door cards and a new paint job. But I dont think it will ever be finished LOL
