Many of you will know me from a couple of years ago, but i lost my website, along with the work and information in it...

I have now, after a couple of years, got a new website started...

So, as i sold the Eddie Stobart Jiffy, i only have the Jiffy Camper to concentrate on, so will add pics here and also let you know when i have updated on the website...

The Jiffy isnt everyones cup of tea, sort of a 'marmite' vehicle, but some of you may find the information interesting.

The start of the website is in my signature....

will be back soon..... ;D Attached File  Recovered_JPEG Digital Camera_54.jpg   59.09K   35 downloads

I quite like it! I've never seen one before. The Mini suspension and steering on a chassis makes it all look very simple! I like the Stella Artois one on your site, the whole design to me looks somewhat Citroen-esque.

Pretty sure I saw a white pick up one of these at Mini's By the Sea, looked at it and though what the hell is that then walked on.

Got to admitt though wouldn't mind to have a camper version to go down the New Forest every Summer :)

here is one i quickly found for you, I will be getting more pics on the main site soon, most of the files are too big to load to here.

This was at one of the shows a coupl of years back.

I have other pictures showing the cooker, fridge, sink etc etc, plus others showing the bed down too,

I will sort those sometime soon

This one shows the sink, with electric powered taps, both the water pick up and drain water go to outside 'tanks'
Also, the gas heater is also seen in the second cupboard.
The extra cvupboard (after the sink) is an add on, as the original Romahome body never came with that cupboard, as the body was never through-cab style... more about that later

Posted Image

One of the Jiffy Campers most important features is the Fridge!! This one is powered by either 12volt or gas
Above it is the 2 ring hob and grill!! The cupboard space after now houses the Leisure Battery and 240volt distribution board.

Posted Image

Here is the bed set up! As there are extra cupboard fitted which make the original bed area smaller, the bed now goes into the cab area, but it is still double bed size!!

Posted Image

This shows the front seats tilted forward, and the two extra bedding sections fit on a special board, that rests on the seats.
Not shown here are the curtains which go around the inside of the cab, providing privacy........
