Truck and camper advice required

[saDgit]

I've had the following email from a guy called Dimitar in Bulgaria who is looking for advice regarding trucks and campers. I've sent him my two penn'orth but I'm sure he'd welcome more. His email address is dimitar.n.naydenov@gmail.com. I've also given him the link to the forum of course and suggested he signs up.

"Hello

I`m interested to buy truck camper. I`m from Sofia Bulgaria(Europe). From the things that i read in the net there are too many brands. I`m really fascinated from truck campers with the sliders and big luggage place. I`m a kiteboarder snowboarder biker ... ets so i`m travelling a lot with lots of equipment so the space is important. This is a perfect solution form me - living the camper somewhere and using the truck for sightseeing....

I have a lot of questions but firstly, i do not have a pick up yet. I`ll will choose a truck considering the camper.

Can you tell me which models of pick up trucks can i choose from, to fit the campers?
The fastest solution for me is Toyota Hilux. I`m looking for low fuel consumption truck .... not like the f 150 raptor it is insanely more than 20l/100km When i buy a truck i`m going to lift because i said i`m kiteboarder and snowboarder and i go to lots of mountain off road places. Please make me a proposal of a truck

If i lift the truck is it going to be a problem?

Do you have a dealer in Europe?

For a first camper i`m looking for a new or old one i`m not pretentious.

I`m looking for your respond soon.

Best wishes,
Dimitar"

Well, work didn't pan out as expected and so we gave up and have just got back down to Aups. Everything here's as dry as a crisp after a long, very hot and dry summer. 'Unwrapped' the camper this morning and guess what - it's slashing down now!! Anyway, forecast for the next week or so is back to the sun and 30+ temps so hopefully building will resume.

Zildjian, I need to add my congratulations for the very well-deserved success of the group's first year. Thanks for all your work and I'm glad my initial misgivings have been proved unfounded.

Understandable looking back but thanks, we've all had a go now,


can we expect normal service to be resumed on the progress pics once the rain stops?
