A Knockout Boxer
Go! Camp & Drive
|September 2017
Camping is more enjoyable when you’ve built your motorhome yourself. Ben Grobbelaar from Reebok in the South Cape tells us how he converted his Peugeot Boxer into a house-on-wheels.
It was with great interest that I read about Chris Liebenberg’s conversion of his Peugeot Boxer in WegSleep #86, because I undertook the same project in 2014.
In July that year I sold my Wilk caravan and Isuzu double cab bakkie and bought a 2008 Peugeot Boxer. The Boxer fits perfectly in the caravan garage and its dimensions inside were ideal for what I had planned.
I immediately started drawing up designs for the layout. I cut out openings and windows, lined the entire cabin inside with underfelt for insulation, and lowered the rear wheel arches by 100 mm to get the right height for the benches and our bed. After that I lined the interior with 4 mm plywood.
