Camper Designs:
There
are 18 different camper designs
for Slide-on Campers, Truck Campers and Campervans. These 18 designs
provide you with a good choice
and a range of ideas. Most of the
designs are for a removable camper that will suit most small flat tray vehicles, utes, trucks, pickups etc. Equipped with camping and sleeping facilities for
two to five the designs are to
scale and incorporate fridge, sink, stove, double bed, seating with
table, benches and cupboards. There is space provided for a small TV and a
small microwave if required with most designs also incorporating an additional
single bunk and shower. The designs incorporate some unique aerodynamic
features, to reduce drag, and take into consideration weight and weight
distribution. The camper designs and wiring diagram are also accompanied
by a comprehensive 53 page publication covering topics like
how to install optional extras such as an auxiliary battery, low voltage
isolator, water pumps etc with explanations on the use and advantages of these
appliances. Many other camper tips are also included.
There is no frame work shown as this may vary depending on the materials used to
manufacture the camper eg timber or metal.
Electrical Systems:
This information
is mainly on the 12 Volt system
which in simple terms explains how the system works and what various components
are used for enabling you to design your own circuits.
Alternative Energy:
Explains the
advantages and disadvantages of alternative energy including solar power, wind
and water generators etc and how to determine which is the most efficient and
effective method for your needs including connecting your system to the grid.
Also explains the different types of lighting systems available and their
advantages. Compares the efficiency of different technologies used in some
electrical appliances and exposes some of the myths.
How this book came about:
I've spent 9 years on and off writing this
publication. I am an automotive electrical mechanic by trade (auto
electrician). I did 3 years camping around in a campervan attending camper
club rallies and expos along the way. I have designed houses with energy
saving concepts, including connecting solar power to the grid, a couple of which have been built and I also designed
approx 37 slide on campers and campervans. The publication does not
contain all of these, just a good variety of styles of the best designs.
Thank you for your time in reading this. Regards Geoff CamperWhiz
