    Wiring loom advice

    I had my LHD Crossdresser Westy front loom fuse box behind dash etc done by Johnson Autoworks Leicestershire pretty reasonable I thought. But I did make a loom that went from the rear lesure battery thought to another fuse box under the rock and roll bed and out. It's used for interior lights...

    Camper Jam

    I've been to CanperJam over the last few years and always had a good time in my 71 crossover. I would do both if they weren't at the same time or had the time.

    Wolfsburg Museum

    As ex military lived near Hannover and was lucky enough to do a tour of the factory. Blagged my way into the Corporate visit of last last General in Germany Gen Hennderson (late REME). Well worth it. There are some campsite around but worth asking Mr Google. The VW museum is also wirth a visit...

    Sitting issues

    Got whacked by a big storm in Polzeth whilst camping a couple of years ago. Fortunately my Kayam air awning did a great job and just buckled and popped back. Did have to re-peg a few times during the night. The posh Berghaus ( other makes are available) tents etc went in the bin the day after.

    Tailgate inside opener

    When I was in Canada I saw a bracket that fitted onto the locking mech which left the tailgate open am inch or so. Great for ventilation but did need the mozzie net fitted to the inside to stop the critters getting in. 😀
