Unfortunately not mine, but a good friends that I have the pleasure of sorting the house electrics out !!!

Thought I'd share just for interest.

The vehicle is an ex UK MOD DAF 4x4 10,800kg flatbed.
The box body is a demountable comms body which has been converted for living.
Mixture of 12vdc and 240Vac equipment (water system, 3 way fridge, LED lights, TV, shower and toilet) in the comms body while the vehicle retains it's original 24vdc systems, with the exception of a 24 to 12vdc dropper in the cab for the CB and reversing cameras.

Nice! That’s taking things to a whole different level. I guess space isn’t such an issue. I like the way the awning is about halfway up, gives an idea of scale.

There's several MOD disposal companies in the UK, most notable is Withams.
You can get a lot of truck for your money if you shop sensibly with head, not heart.
