Toyota Land Cruiser/Bush Lapa Bosluis Project (3)
To keep the inside neat, an easily removable cargo net was installed to keeps the matrass and bedding in place when travelling. That ensure that it can’t fall off and be in the way when you open the door. We had an aluminium box made to our own...

Toyota Land Cruiser/Bush Lapa Bosluis Project (1)

After two or three camping trips with our small tent we realised that we needed to find a better solution. What we needed is a solution that would offer: The same flexibility that the small tent offered, but would have more space to utilize against the elements. We...
Camping with a small tent
After selling our Sprite Sunway caravan early in 2005 we reverted to camping with a tent. We had a small 2.5mx2.5m canvas bow tent stored in the garage, and decided to give it a try. We did however need a few extra things. The fully equipped kitchen of the caravan...
Camping – How did we start
