new stuff and recent changes
added 13/05/2010
Adventure
Dismountable & 5th Wheeler Club
- a new link but not a new club. The Adventure Club was initially set
up among owners of North Star 'Adventure' demountables, imported by
Niche Marketing many years ago, but now apparently welcomes owners of
all makes of demountable and fifth-wheel. It's on the forums and groups page.

loading
and unloading - a brand new page offering guidance and
techniques for the successful and safe loading and unloading of a
demountable camper. You can find it here.
where-rv-now.com
- Teresa Petrykowski and Sterling Udell's blog. Although out of date,
it was written between 2002 and 2005, it includes useful material and
interesting experience from this couple who lived and travelled
full-time in their demountable. The link is on the odds and sods page.
breakers,
salvagers and dismantlers - caravan and motorhome breakers -
a useful link for those building their own demountable and looking to
save money. It's on the build-your-own/sources
of materials page.
added 16/04/2010
'1964
Truck Campers' - a splendid article, and an insight into
camper design at the time, from Popular Science magazine courtesy of
Google books. You can find the link among the items of historical interest.
afzetunits.be
- Belgium's first appearance on this website - you see, it's not just
chocolates and Jacques Brel! It's on the European
manufacturers/importers page.
added 14/04/2010
AnGib
- Andrew Gibbens' site offers pdf and CAD downloads of plans for four
different pop-up truck camper designs. You can find a link and
description on the self-builders
plans page.
kommst-du-mit-zu-bishi.de
- the few photos on Jochen Sprenger's German blog are a useful reminder
of how badly things can go if a camper's tie-down system is not
appropriately designed or fixed. It's alarming stuff! The link's on the
odds and sods page.
Reimo
- a new link to the renowned online Reimo catalogue of parts, materials
and equipment for self-builders. You can find it here.
added 11/04/2010
Thanks are due to PeeJay from the Motorhome Facts forum (see forums and groups) for the following two links ...
exkab.de
- German manufacturer ExKab are trying to fill the niche between
expedition vehicles and motorhomes.
wagner-kunststofftechnik.de
- Wagner, also German, produce a more 'conventional' range of
coachbuilt demountable campers.
You can find them both on the European manufacturers page.
added 04/04/2010
about
- not really a new page, in that it contains no new information, but
the 'about' and 'contact' sections of the s.a.D home page are now on a
page of their own in an attempt to reduce the amount of scrolling up
and down when moving around the site. The about
page is here.
www.massif.iveco.com
- I've included Iveco's challenge to the Landrover on the pickup manufacturers
page but, as far as I know, no demountable manufacturer is producing a
camper for it yet.
www.siamax.com
- Siamax fabricate aluminium flat-bed conversions for most of the
popular pickups. Of potential interest to self-builders, you can find
their link here.
added 01/04/2010
snapshots - previews of
external links enable you to decide whether a link to a site is likely
to be of interest without having to open it. They're available on all
the pages where you see this logo 
in the
right-hand column. To see a preview, simply shift your cursor over the
'speech bubble' to the right of the link, e.g. s.a.D's
home page. If you prefer not to to see the SnapShots at all
click on the 'disable' option in the upper right corner of any preview
window, or simply avoid the 'bubbles'.
added 27/03/2010
s.a.D
guestbook - resurrection of the s.a.D guestbook which was on
the site last year but got very little use. The website's receiving
much more traffic now though so its reintroduction seems timely. You
can access it through the contact
info.
added 21/03/2010
"Ads by Google" - this is a bit of an experiment really. Hopefully the ads will be a helpful and interesting addition to the site rather than an intrusive one. According to Google, their relevance to the context of the site (and therefore their helpfulness and interest) should improve over time.
added 20/03/2010
demountable
insurance - finally the long-promised page on the
complexities of finding insurance for a demountable is online. You can
find it here.
added 16/03/2010
www.ukcampsite.co.uk
- the COLIM is a German project that has been featured on a number of
websites including UKcampsite. Designed by Christian Susana and
described on one site as being a "cross between a fifth wheel caravan,
a demountable motorhome and a normal caravan and car", it's on the odds and sods page
added 14/03/2010
vintage
stuff - an entirely new page which, as its name suggests,
brings together vintage material from a variety of sources and,
hopefully, offers some insights into the history of truck campers. You
can find it here.
www.azalai.co.uk
- a link to the UK branch of the French parent company. You'll find
them in the UK listings on the European
manufacturers page.
www.neneoverland.co.uk
- not really a new link but Nene Overland, in the same UK listing, have
recently changed their agency. You can find them here.
www.phoenixcampers.com
- not a new company (far from it!) but a new link. Phoenix campers are
custom built by Coyote RV. They're in the US manufacturers listing.
