That's nice.

Somewhere to sleep while you wait for the flatbed.

It'll cost well over R3 bar.

It'll be unstable.

It has a massive rear overhang - may counterbalance that tiny 2.0 milk bottle motor...

Its a bit high.

But otherwise it looks crap...

On a positive note - it looks very well done - great workmanship...

It's like something out of a Harry Potter Novel. The interior is much bigger than the exterior.

I dont like any of these bulky overloaded US-style camper-suvs ...this one included.
Not really practical as Overlanders in our part of the world, anyway:
cumbersome and awkward
high fuel consumption
slow
etc etc

A more compact sleeper with a
pop-up roof might be a better way to go.

That ladder on the side is as useful as tits on a nun. Unless it could slide down to the ground that is.

I wonder how much LR will charge you for the optional banana extra?
