That box could be likened to the Tardis! There’s still plenty of room to add a fridge or simply use it for camping gear. The design also incorporates a massive angled aluminium box up front which could be used for all sorts of things, and currently holds a water tank, tent steps, spare wheel and tyre. While storage behind the gullwing doors up top are used for kitchen/pantry requirements, spare parts and other camping gear. The concept brief sees each hatch slightly unique in its internal design, with lower hatches taking care of batteries, gas bottles and the diesel refilling station. There’s plenty of outside storage in the innovative aluminium lightweight hatches which have been laser-cut and form-folded to provide additional strength. This has kept the overall height in check even with the hard-lid tent fitted on top. The overall trailer dimensions were based on the oversized quad, so a centre ramp over was cleverly incorporated into the checker plate alloy floor to allow the quad to sit lower. Setting out with the initial criteria of being a single person set-up, the camper uses a combo of steel for strength and aluminium to keep things light. There’s little doubt having similar suspension and the tyre/wheel combo has been the best redundancy insurance mod made. Jacksons met our request to fit the camper with the same wheel and tyre combo as our vehicle, so a set of 35-inch Cooper STT Pro and 16-inch Dynamic steel rims were fitted with SensaTyre internal sensors. The concept saw the suspension intentionally designed to use the same set-up as the 79 Series tow vehicle, with an Old Man Emu 400kg leaf spring pack and Nitrocharger shocks put in place to allow moderate articulation to soak up the rough terrain. So this design has provided incredible strength and is the foundation for the suspension and load-carrying requirements. Some tubing and alloy bash plates were fitted to protect the wiring, piping, components and equipment underneath. A RHS straight-pull steel drawbar sits up front that’s fitted with a D035 hitch receiver, and recovery anchoring points have been added to all corners. To carry the quad’s weight and all the other gear, the chassis uses a steel ladder frame concept that’s fully gusseted and seam-welded.
