Every time I stop, I check my turnbuckles...
Re: Every time I stop, I check my turnbuckles...
I think I last saw that design on this 'adventure' camper and wondered where they might be sourced from as they look a really good idea
Re: Every time I stop, I check my turnbuckles...
Spent a few hour's today fine tuning the six anchor point arrangement,first l had
To remove the fairing,side rails and roller shutter these will stay off until after the
Christmas break.I always use a fluted rubber mat in the truck bed as l believe it gives
a bit of grip on top of the bed liner,in the pictures you will see I raised the camper with
20mm faced plywood which has a smooth finish this was done to give clearance for
the roof rails.
With the camper on the truck all six anchors hooked up it feels more secure, I think pulling
the camper down to the bed at four points is better than my previous arrangement.
My next trip will be over the Christmas break,that will be the first opportunity to test this
new arrangement.

Wheelarches, think I only didn't do that as I couldn't get the turnbuckles short enough, looks a good solution all the same.
do they access OK still through the under-seat hatches?

Not enough room to anchor to the tub floor so I used the wheel arch,l removed
arch liner and installed a 100 X 80mm reinforcing plate then cut a hole in the
Liner to give access to the bolt of the eye, reinstalled the liner and made a domed
cover to close the hole after the anchor was fitted.
I bought the shortest barrel strainer I could find in 10 mm and used It to connect to
the wheel arch and the original was just right for the front, as for access I found
connecting the front first and then to the arch simpler than the original fitting , there
is a bit more room for a hand and spanner.

Looks good, thanks for adding that. BTW. What's that on your ladder? Or have we discussed that before on the old site?

On the ladder is a home made anti climb board I made this from a piece of material I had,
it's like a 2 mm thick formica on the back side are two hooks which hook on to the bottom rung
and the top rung is drilled to take a drop bolt which has a small padlock on.l also use two
long shackle padlocks on the steps again for security.
