….sporting a “Men’s woody”…..They look good for taking the dog out first thing in the morning
Possible camping usefulness I've pondered if these tiny rechargeable fishing lure LEDs reviewed by BigClive might be useful as awning line markers...
It’s going to take more than subconscious mind control for me to buy any.
Bargain
That’s what I said, then one day I ordered themIt’s going to take more than subconscious mind control for me to buy any.
Tbh I’m sold on them now, I wear them in the house, I wear them in the van and next weekend I’ll be wearing them round the campsite. Even thinking that maybe I should buy another pair so I can keep a pair clean for wearing in the house
Gonna be a busy couple of months for me since I bought this. Some of my T6 stuff does not fit. I also ahve a paylod issue if I am not careful at 3200kg I am not left much space with a 2700kg van. Thats before water, people and camping stuff.
I need a lightweight sun canopy with side and preferably a door. Looking at another Maypole but it has to be 2.6m high at the van. Talking to Thule about what they have but it's heavy stuff. Suggestion greatly received.
I'll fund it by selling
1x Vango Kelo IV drive awning with double bedroom and other bits.
1 X maypole stratford Air sun canopy with sides and an Outwell suncanopy
1 x T6 Custom covers windscreen cover.
1 x Cadac Grillo Chef and covers

Have a word with Van Weight Engineering Ltd Mick who have up-plated a few of us on here, my T28 is now officially a T31, an extra 300 kg of wine or beer! Purely a paperwork exercise, £276 when I did it a year ago. Husband and wife team.
Definitely worth sending an enquiry form to them and seeing what’s possible. As Mick is already at 3200kg I’m not sure what the scope is for up plating without mods. Great service for me with my T28 now a T31.5.
Upplating will depend on what chassis has been used, whether standard or Alko. Autosleeper Sandhurst and IH J1000 (both coachbuilt) were 3500 kg. If you look at the chassis plate where the mptlm is it should say what the maximum permissible axle loads are. If they add up to 3500 kg it should be relatively simple for someone like van weight engineering to get it up later for you or you may need to have higher load rating tyres or air suspension on the rear. Some are sold as 3500 kg so depends on what the dealer specified I the first place. It may also be cheaper to see if the dealer can get you the upgraded plate.

Apparently they are suspended from the DVLA approved list at the moment.
SVTech the only one listed currently.
On the Motorhome forums. Maybe they have recently been reinstated?
Here’s an idea to save space.
