Re: Hello from a newish owner

On our 2005 L200 Clu Cab, which carries a SunTrekker camper unit. I guess your Skarrosser is probably a few Kg heavier. We had a "droopy" rear end. Instead of going for air bags I have fitted SAX Load Helpers - equalisers. At £113 a lot cheaper than an air system and unlike airbags more durable I th...

LINAK Jacks

This is a help wanted. (You may have seen much the same post on the Facebook site). My unit a relatively unique 1999 SunTrekker has 4 electric jacks. The motor / top part has a label - LINAK LA34 MEDLINE they are made in Denmark. One of them has stopped working - I can hear the motor so assume it is...

Re: SKarosser Copy Scratch Home build?????

Mark, you said you had "BLED" the fuel line - did you bleed it open at the pump and waiting for the air - or did you prime it using a syringe to fill the filter and pipe upto the pump? Like you things have been going slowly, unlike you I had no deadline so still not finished! I think the goal is the...

Blisters 1.jpg and after sanding still not very clear - I need a cloudier day - back to the field tomorrow and maybe some better photos If you want to k...

Re: Spare wheel relocation?

Hi Mark, we have the same problem on the L200. I can access the hole where the hook thing pushes through. But the T piece winder is a non starter The solution was to weld a 19mm nut to the end of the extension and then using a ratchet drive I can lower and raise the spare. OK it is not comfortable l...

Oh NO SunTrekker osmosis

At the moment the SunTrekker is off the pick-up, usually it is in place on the pick-up almost permanently. But we need the pick-up as a truck for a couple of weeks. A good opportunity to clean and paint those parts of the demountable we rarely see! So I went under the unit, looked up and at the forw...

Re: SKarosser Copy Scratch Home build?????

That handle is really good - we fitted one on our little Romahome demountable, and we have one on the SunTrekker - would nevefr be without one!

Re: SKarosser Copy Scratch Home build?????

Mark, may I pick your brains / tap into your experience. Where do you mount your diesel heater's exhaust and how do you mount it so the hot exhaust does not damage the skin panels? I keep thinking maybe I need heat shielding of some sort - or will exhaust wrap do the job?

Re: SKarosser Copy Scratch Home build?????

wonkywheel this may interest you - I am taking out the gas in my camper, the SMEV9722 combi hob sink and the Propex to replace them with a diesel hob / heater. Chinese version of course ;) So the camper will be gasless and fuel will be simpler - I am going to put an external tank on the back of the ...
