"Vlakvark 1"

Pa had this spare camper rusting away at the plot. No-body wanted/needed it, so we decided to take it! Pa made it himself many many years ago, the name is "Vlakvark 1" (Warthog 1). Pa has 'Vlakvark 2'! We took it to Afrit Repairs - the department where I work, and the boys there did it all up for us. We used left over paint from the Agricultural machinery that Afrit also makes. Now it looks heaps better, nice to have 'contacts' hey?! We are going to use it for the first time this weekend at the van de Wetering weekend, cant wait! I'll take some photos then when the tent is open.
The boys were busy painting the trailer when I went to have a look. They were all laughing, and when I asked them why, they said the cage at the front is brilliant to keep the live chickens fresh! They reckon we can just stop next to the road, chop off the chickens head and have a nice braai. Never thought of that now did you...

  1. That camper looks fantastic! Looks great with new paint. I'm sure Jeremy will be jealous when he see's these pics! Is that a roof top tent on the top? Emily
