Frage Norwegian dud entering the forum

Unsere Kabine ist innen 1,80 m breit,ich kann da gerade so mit meinen 1,64 drin schlafen, aber ich dürfte nicht viel größer sein. Ich glaube schon, dass das Bettmaß mindestens 20 cm größer seien sollte, als die in ihr schlafende Person groß ist.

These offroad cabins are only about 1,8m wide (outside measure), so you need wo substract at least the 6cm for the walls.
If you build a cabin on your own, you can make it a bit wider, but then you loose some offroad capability. Your choice.
Then you can have also a bottom bed from left to right. But still this is a very small room for 4 persons!
you need at lease 1,2 m to sit with 4, so the bottom bed will be 1,2m. This will give you 30cm to stand if the beds are made, so you still should spend some overhang to gain a bit of room, maybe to pull out a toilet and use it at night. Just draw a sketch and think about how it could look like.

Everything is a compromize !

The Man doka and Unimog doka we met in Iceland 2010 would be the optimal choice, but not for my wallet.

The Landy 130" will be the best comfort / space-compromize i guess... i wish i could affore an Azalai!

May a pop-up camper also be a good alternative perhaps ?

I see they are quite popular in the states. My wife on the other hand, say we should go all in; and choose the Azalai !

ganz breit auch,
viele der Marke unnötig eng wird, gibt das schlechte Platz zum Schlafen auf


ein Überbau 10 cm breiter als das Fahrzeug auf jeder Seite, nichts zu tun

also a nice concept; Gazelle

You need no frame. Just some pallets for Defender.

wooden-frame is also a frame...

Frame is tailor-made. I had just a few standard pallets from the builders under a big amercian cabin.

Hi,

one possible choice:
www.trayon.com/which-trayon/dual-cab/ in the "wide" version sleeps 4 on a double cab.
But it is an expensive solution with only a tent roof.

American Popup campers are a bit wider so you can sleep "East-west" like they call it.
But most of them are too long for european/japanese DoubleCab Pickups + most of them need
approx. 1,20m between the wheel wells. Only the Amarok provides this width in his truckbed.

Cheapest solution can be a Palomino-camper:
The Palomino SS-500 fits on these Trucks with ~1/2 mtr. overhang and a dry weight of 590 kg

But i think teh bed in the seating area is not wide enough to sleep 2 Persons.

the SS-550 fits on Amarok with ~60 cm overhang and 725 kg dry weight.

Palomino-Outlet:

The Problem for the final price are the shipping cost + customs taxes in Norway.

But like the others told you: a double cab is no real and dependable solution for off-road travel and a popup is not the best for camping in strong winds like in Iceland!
BTW: i know one Guy in Iceland who wants to sell his Chevy 2500 Duramax/DoubleCab/Camperbed + 10 or 11 ft Alaskan-Camper.....

Know from before, and absolute noted. Still - this is the possibillities we have....

Another quest: is any of the new, quite large Pickups usable for a family in 1,5 cabin size ?

I had a Taro back in 1990,with an " emergency rear seat". But since the modern pickups are conciderably larger, maybe the rear seat could to for two kids, 10 and 13.....

Hi , ich denke ein 1,5 Kabine ist nichts für 4 Personen für ein längere Strecke . Alternative zum Defender ist eventuell ein Toyota Landcruiser HZJ/GRJ 79 DC ,hat halt viel Hubraum . Da hast Du Platz .
Gruß Steffen
Eventuell ein Single Cab und dann Sitzplätze in der Kabine .

HZJ series Toyota are not available in Norway. Defender 130" is possible ...
Yes, seating in the cabin could be done, but then we will need a " fully integrated camper " like the Azalai i think...

Hi in Deutschland darf man hinten Personen mitnehmen wenn eine Sicht und Sprechverbindung besteht .
Das kann man auch bei einer Absetzkabine machen , Ist bei so eingetragen .Weiß natürlich ob das in Norwegen möglich ist .

Es gibt einige andere, die hier mit Kindern reisen?

es gibt nur wenige Camper für 4 Personen
