could be a little like this:[frame][/frame]
- whereas a trailer tent would be more like hammond's pop-out landrover :p[frame][/frame]

ye like having the looks of the traveller bit it folds into a trailer tent

This sounds like a bit of a hopeless scheme to be honest. Minors are pretty small cars, so not the best base for a camper van. I've slept in a saloon and it was one of the worst night's sleep I've ever had!

The difficulty of creating a traveller with pop-out sides is that the wood is structural, so you can't just go hacking about without considering the strength of the result.

My advice - buy/make a caravan, and tow it with the traveller! I quite fancy one of those small teardrop caravans that you can make at home.

i have been thinking the teardrop caravan but is that classed as a small trailer?

Or better still, buy a camper van!

That would require a lot of work, a second job and a lot of overtime too I should think.
Worst time of year to buy any of this sort of gear as everyone is having the same idea.

It would be far worse and a lot more work to butcher a lovely traveller to make some unusable traveller/camper monstrosity!

Just buy a camper van- does not have to be a VW, can be a cheaper conversion from a van or buy a small trailer tent.

Have a look around here for a good idea of what is available;

The handy thing with one of these, or a caravan is that you just unhitch the car and drive it away without taking all the washing up with you.

or how about a teardrop one like this: http://morrisminorowners.co.uk/caravan_about1885.html

i have been looking to do a traveller or a teardrop thinking about it teardrop is a better idea of i can get minilite on car and the caravan do the caravan same color as the car.

The Teardrops are ok so long as you're not too tall - otherwise the bed section is very restricted

well i am 6ft 3 so i will have to put up with it because i dont want to have a tent all my life

Extended Teardrop?!

mell i have to get the funds to buy one and whats the average price of diy?

well

As much or as little as you like depending highly on your skill, time and facilities available.

Type "teardrop caravan" in eBay search, interesting...

Interesting indeed, the cheapest actual teardrop caravan seems to be £3,995.00.
However it does say;

Bed Length :: 6ft 5

Bed Width :: 4ft

well you can sleep diagonal with it only being me in the teardrop seems like you can get cheaper ones on ebay than 4 grand
