Re: We NEED this!

Nice idea but I'm not sure about the actual placement of this item,......either incorporating it into say a clear acrylic toilet seat, point towards the bowl or at least clamp onto the hinge area would surely be better placed out of harms way shall we say??

Re: The big meet of the german demountables

Thanks, apart from seeing several videos from lorry drivers, having refugees running across their pat...

Re: The big meet of the german demountables

Sadly there's no way that we could make that event this year, hope to in the future.

We usually put our vehicles on the train rather than a ferry to ✖ the water, haven't been the last few years, is Calais safe now the refugee/jungle camp has been broken up?

Re: Access to spare wheel when camper is on board.

And make sure your jack is capable of lifting the truck and camper to actually change the wheel. Yes. I don't ever use the pressed steel OEM jack. I carry a 12 ton bottle jack instead. Steve.
