Time to change gears again, it’s been a while since we’ve had something that isn’t a car/bike/garage to soak our eyeballs in. A little while back, Alex submitted his 1985 Hino truck to me. But this isn’t just any truck. While it might have started out as a regular flat-bed hauler, Alex and his partner spent many a day and night converting it into a bespoke wood cladded home complete with extendable slide-out sections, allowing them to explore the New Zealand landscape in the comfort of their own hand-built multi level mobile home. Make sure you check out the finished images at the bottom of the post, it just looks so damn cosy!

Must be terrible to drive, but i quite like the idea and how it ended up 😀
Alex’s RX-3 thread on retrorides is one of my all time favourites, and his Viva one is pretty cool too!
Hi
When I owned a housebus called Brocaliande, 1959 Hawkes Bro Bedford,we lived on the road for about five years and met awesome people and saw amazing New Zealand. Wow.
It has been a long time since and I now find myself looking to do it all again in a new vehicle. This time round I would like to put in a small pop-out. I see you have a beautiful home with a pop-out.
Would you be so kind as to avail me of any detail plans or ideas/guidance on how to build one for myself. I have excellent carpentry skills and medium welding skills and a friend with a welder.
Any input would be great please
Are plans available for this build?
