That is stunning! The mosaic tiles are amazing. Obviously a lot of work and care has gone into the restoration.

If someone ran into the side of it. Just imagine the panelbeaters face when it turned up for a quote!

Wonder why he is paying RUC's

over 3500Kg would be a good reason for RUC.

Original running gear so expect no more than 70kph max with a tail wind on a flat road and half that if you there is any gradient. Need a great interior as you'll spend many hours roadside sleeping and drinking coffee while you wait for the overheated truck to cool down, I used to own one of these house trucks. Access from cab to the living quarters is a godsend for security while parked up - enables access to drive off if hassled without having to exit the vehicle to do so.

I thought those were only made in about a 2.2 litre petrol motor of about 1/2 horsepower so I don't know why he needs RUC.

I have seen the guys work as he posted the entire build progress on oldschool.co.nz. A lot of hard work has gone into this and he makes a bloody good job of it too. Not my cup of tea but watching him build it and also all the cars he builds I take my hat off to him. He has wood and metal skills that only I could wish to have. His missus also helps out to and isnt afraid to get her hand dirty.

did he actually build it Jason or did he just refurbish it. I could swear this is one a friend of mine originally built up himself. Although I could be wrong. I have emailed a link to my friend to see if it is the one he built.

LOL you can pretty easily spot the people posting on this thread who have never even set foot inside a motorhome, let alone lived in or driven one.
The LAST thing that you care about in this type of vehicle is an aerodynamic streamlined shape.
Looks like a nice job. It would be even nicer IMO with a modern VW light truck chassis like the Maui campervans have, to give it a bit of performance and fuel economy, but I guess everything comes at a price.
