Vagabond Drifter Camper Buildout and Mods

I’m very interested in linking another solar panel to house battery. Keep me updated on what you come up with please?

Edit: @MJonaGS32 as well - any info is appreciated

 

thats badass

 

Awesome trick....because yes I suck at measuring.

 

So rad, nice work! I cant remember are the blank covers included with each drifter?

 

Rudimentary but I think it’ll work...

 

Ok so the template sort of worked.
You just can’t see all of the horrible lines in this pic.



OMG 4 windoors to go
What the hell was I thinking?

 

Here’s the fill port for my water tank. Also has a breather hole and connection for my exterior shower





And windoor on other side

 

Easy peezy mod, loop of paracord to pull the window down when you’re inside it.

Also handy for keeping it open a little bit for some air flow, could make it adjustable pretty easily.

I’m currently camped at the SOS Concepts building and it’s raining outside...but it’s still like 70 degrees outside

 

Debated on getting one of those 270° awnings but I already had a 4’ Tepui awning (installed in the rear) and I got a deal on this 8’ ARB. Plus @Overlanerd brought up a good point where if you’re in a parking lot (I tailgate at Niner games a bunch), you wont be able to open a 270° awning.

 

I absolutely loved my Alu-Cab awning and once I get my Drifter I plan on putting one on.

I had an ARB awning mounted for 2-3 months and never used it once because it was such a hassle to set up. On the flipside, everytime I stopped on a trail for a break or at camp I deployed the Alu-Cab as it took no shit 5 seconds to set up, and maybe 15 to take down. YMMV.

 

Yea that shadow awning is bad ass. But couldn't justify the $1500 price tag when I got this this for $200. Plus this will suit my needs better, specifically when I'm at Niner games. Or maybe I'm just telling myself that because I didn't want to spend that much on an awning

 

Hey,
Any idea on where to acquire longer bolts for this?

 

A good hardware store will have bolts. Think McFaddendale not Home Depot.

 

Excited to finally head back West and really start camping..but meanwhile gotta work on some new furniture.

I'm the worst hotel guest ever.

 

That's funny! Comfortable shop though.

 

LMAO!!

 

Forgot to take pictures before it got dark. Here’s one from my IG story


If anyone is on IG, I posted in my story a super short vid of me sitting inside and a couple of boomerang vids.

 

peeped your story, build looks good!

 

Thanks! I’ll take more pics after modding a bit today

 

So do you get any funny looks from people carrying a saw into a hotel room? Under the cover of darkness?
