While waiting for the parts to arrive to start building the DIY roof tent I thought I’d design a simple fridge slide using Aluminium Extrusion. To get some experience working with it. The concept was to only use ready made parts bought online with very little DIY, so anyone can do it. I’ll list the…

DIY Jimny Roof Tent Research
If you ask me I have not spent enough time over the holidays researching this project. If you ask my wife she’ll say I’m ridiculous and to shut up about bloody roof tent designs 😉 It’s a bit late writing this as I’ve already been through a few early designs in Fusion 360. Exploring all…
Problems to solve designing my own Jimny Roof Tent and a brain dump.
Getting these thoughts written down on paper (screen) will help get them out of my disorganised head and hopefully avoid a few of the unexpected issues along the way.

Custom Rainfly on Front Runner Roof Tent

The crash course last year on how to use a sewing machine from my mother and sewing a triangle awning…
Jimny Tailgate Molle Storage
NOW AVAILABLE TO BUY In preparation for more camping this year (if we’re allowed out lol) I was thinking about improvements to the camping set up. One problem area that jumps out is the storage of small items and other camping kit. The smaller, easy to misplace items that need a dedicated home and to…
