Ok, then here are the last ones then.


Here you see it in front of the Holuraun lava field. You might remember that outbreak that started last year and ended this spring. The white clouds over the field is where water is hitting the still hot lava. There is a whole stream heated up to 30-40 Degrees Centigrade by the lava. Great place to take a bath!


And the last one is in the middle of nowhere in the east, driving home after a great holiday.

Some new ones

By the way: This camper is a celebrity in Iceland, on every camping ground it gathers people around it. Its also one of the most capable rigs it seems. A true go anywhere do anything rig. It beats any truck camper in terms of agility and speed on the track!

So feedback from my friend with the 2 kids: Modified camper interior worked like a charm. Ample sleeping space for 3 and tons of space for storage. We used most of the box space to store the sleeping bags. The box storage also came in handy when fording rivers because sometimes the water was so high it would get in the camper but never so high that it would get into the boxes.

Go ahead

Well if you want to see some nice photos from Iceland without camper you can have a peak here. My gallery of past years http://www.pbase.com/its_tom/iceland

Only get this for you for the moment

I only have few pictures to share as my pics are on my camera which is still in Iceland.

Overall the camper performed admirably. I had some issues with excessive dust inside the camper until I removed everything and put tape over every single hole. The second issue is that in rainy environments there is no secure option to ventilate, none of the windows have a cover so rain cannot come in.

I'm extremely happy how the trailer handles rough road and washboard. Did a little bit of hard testing on that and was astonished how well it handled even under oversteer.

I filmed this as this allowed me to review the reactions later later: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ENnPz1TZI4

Right now my biggest gripe is that they had more snow this year than anytime before the last 20 years. Thus the whole of the interior is still closed because of snow. Normally most of the bigger routes should be long open and the smaller, more remote normally open some weeks later. But as every single trail is still closed this means that at least for my first visit much will be off limits.



Luckily I do anticipate situations like this and have split my stay there when I booked my travel. So on the 4th I'll travel through Germany and Denmark to the ferry, be on water for 3 days, stay in Icleand until the 24th, fly back, work 3 weeks, fly back up and stay for another 2 weeks before driving back. That second stay will give me the opportunity to visit all the places I can't the first time.

And yes PEIslander: Everyone should have Iceland on his bucket list. I've spend several months there so far camping in this wonderland and it never fails to amaze me.

Looking very nice!

Yes thats right. Biggest part is German speaking, second biggest is French speaking, third Italian speaking and fourth Rumantsch speaking. The latter is a very, very small group thought. And each one has to learn at least one of the other languages. Mais je suis desolée, mon français est horrible    

Yes, I live in switzerland. It was imported by a swiss Jeep garage. I only know of some Livinlite Pickup campers that have been imported to Europe, apart from that they are very unknown around here. Everybody says that he has never seen anything like this here and even google searches run dry when searching in german language.

Personally I would use a 2 tank system: Any water used for cooking or drinking comes out of a separate canister that is easily perfectly cleaned and can guarantee that there will be no mold. I have one like this

The other water is for washing anything but never for consumption because you cannot clean or prevent the other system to become molded. Yes there are things like chemical stuff and silver Ions that will help but it will never ever be 100%. Wherever you have standing water there will be mold and things that you don't like unless the water is so toxic that its harmful for you. So the 2 separated water tanks is the best solution.

This brought me here by the way.

I hate the Yahoo groups, not very practical for exchanging information and for some reason I don't understand they apparently have cancelled my account, so I still get the mails but can no longer log in to the board.
