More camper, less van: Touring Africa

[Pieter4x4]

I recently purchased a 2014 T5 Beach that has seen quite a number of upgrades. This include: Seikel Desert suspension, all terrain tyres, aftermarket rear bumper to carry the spare wheel, and a storage box. Other items include the addition of cupboards and workspace, 3 burner stove, WAECO caravan fridge, 60l water tank with level indicator, basin with water pump, 2 leisure batteries (with DC2DC battery charger), porta potti, 800mm single bed and even a microwave oven. I believe this to be the ideal vehicle with which to visit some of the lesser known game reserves in Africa. I previously owned a VW camper. I have wonderful memories of holidays in the 1980's and 1990's in my 1970 single-port 1600cm pop-top Kombi camper! I expect to have a lot of fun with my recent purchase!

You´ve turned a beach into an ocean man.
Now why would anyone want to do that

Fair play to ya, It looks good
Is that a microwave that you have fitted ?
Can you make a bed downstairs ?

I think if i was to camp in a game reserve i´d have the roof
down and everything shut.
Forget about the condensation build up, what do you say @WelshGas

I think you could have the cab windows open a little.
But a Beach converted into a Full blown Camper. Whatever will they think of next.
