Expedition Car – make our dreams alive

[olga]

Pickup is undoubtedly handy body type, but as practice shows not for traveling. Therefore, we decided to install a canopy and re-equip it in an expedition car. For this we made a list of what we need:

• rear bicycle carrier

• 4-person tent on top of the roof

• drawers in the body

• light bars in front and behind

• shape of a canopy in one design with the car

• minimum weight

• preservation of aerodynamics

Based on our requirements, it became clear that it’s impossible to buy a canopy that satisfies all our needs. We could limit appetites, but skillful fingers resolved.

How we dealt with all this, see in upcoming posts.

So the first we have done was the project:

Interesting video. I like the idea of the pop-up tent.
