Volkswagen T3 Survival Pod Homebuild

We built a survival pod/ camper pod for my VW T3 DOKA
It’s way way too heavy.

What I like is how achievable this is. Sometimes these projects can seem so daunting, so well done. I'm thinking of doing this with coolroom panels. I think it might bring the weight down

Well done Tam, there's nothing better than a well placed screw, especially in an apocalypse

[@sprintdevil]

hey what a project.......bullet proof.....

[@we_wonder_the_world]

That thing looks really awsome and comfi 😊👍🏼

[@subarcticlife445]

Thanks dude.

[@stephenrogers9664]

It looks bloody good but heavy. Made for a good price though 👍👍

[@subarcticlife445]

Yup. It’s now going to become a treehouse !!! A solid but cheap one 😂😂😂

[@ronwalboom3409]

Line borrowed from the movie "Jaws" and slightly modified "We're going to need a bigger vehicle !!!"...... :D

[@subarcticlife445]

😂😂😂 yup Ron, I have a feeling ....

[@Matthews_Media]

Good ol South African accent 😉👌🏼

[@CriftinsCampers]

Well that was quite entertaining so where’s part deux?

[@subarcticlife445]

Well… turns out the pod I made was waay too heavy for my lovely little T3. Not sure where to go with it at the moment. It’s complete and ready tho 😂

[@CriftinsCampers]

@@subarcticlife445 Perhaps you could mount it on a trailer chassis, a four wheeled old horse box or Caravan chassis might do. I built an easy clean chicken coop on a caravan chassis a few years ago, they are very versatile 😃

[@subarcticlife445]

@@CriftinsCampers yup, great idea. Have thought about a trailer and even a treehouse. Will see what happens. We’re just at the beginning of refitting a 1979 Albin Vega. Too many projects 😂

[@philipfieldhouse9229]

With your experience and skills, which should I convert to travel to Sweden? My volvo v50 or citroen berlingo? Unfortunately I don't think either will take a Woodburn er like Ash Pollards.

[@subarcticlife445]

A woodburner doesn’t have to be big. Size depends on space. Whichever gives you the most comfort is probably the one to go for

[@davisdesigns1153]

I can spot a south african accent from miles away

[@subarcticlife445]

Yup, it’s a quirky one for sure!!
