Have you got a roofrack? If my ex missus hasn't chucked it out I might have one off my old 811.

I haven't im planning to make one

Watching all the work you're doing tam. I think you might deserve my plate more than me. Great posts by the way

Nope not guilty. I did see this on our travels but there was no owner in sight. I would’ve loved a nosey inside.

Tam, you are keeping me awake at night I've been thinking about your trip in the Iveco.

This time you are going when you have the shortest days & lowest sun angle. I know you don't use a lot of power but I think you are going to struggle to survive with only 150 Watts of solar.

You are going to be fitting a B2B in the Vario what about getting it now and using it in the Iveco.

 

[Chrisallys]

Tam no probs but perhaps you'd like to pm me rather than hijack your post

If your travelling regularly I don't think you will have a problem.
