No Tonz, he said massive, like a full length 8 leg. That's just like a 4 leg.

Been a while between updates,
Me and Brodie have been camping in her a couple of times and the queen size bed has made it more than comfortable!

I've taken off the roof bars and added an alloy rear step/Towbar and thus far no sign of any dramas with cvs or boots from the lift which is good. Oh and the luft intake got sticker bombed.......

Today, I finally got a spare hour and made a start on the camper interior fitout and as it's a panel it's soo noisy inside. pyrotek supply various insulation type materials to us. A few of us enquired about doing a bulk order. Basically this stuff is the same as Dynamat but cost me a fraction of the price.

Started on the roof, will take the shit looking carpet off the walls and do them next.......

Na this stuff ain't going nowhere. Plus stage two will be a hard board headliner, pushing it against the roof. The change in sound against the panels is a amazing!

Drove it 100ks today, the difference in cabin noise was crazy!
I've got a three way folding rear bench to go into it, so all of us can travel in it. which will also be the base for the foot of the mattress when folded down, which will mean redoing all the rest of the mattress base too, with storage drawers and lockers built in. I'm no little guy so would rather keep the full size mattress, than have cupboards on the walls.
All the walls and ceiling I'm hoping to line in 3mm weiss faced MDF.

This thing has been parked out back for the last few months with an electrical issue I just couldn't be fucked figuring out.

This morning 2dots persuaded me into getting on with it. And with the aid of his fancy multimeter he found that the alternator was knackered :(

Luckily I have a spare parts van, we swapped out the alternators and she was happy again :)

Decided to take her for a drive to charge the battery,
Just as I'm cresting a hill, all I see is Kangaroo then power pole :(

Limped it back to HQ, not really sure on the extent of damage yet. But I got a headache that could kill ten men :(

Definitely looks like it could have been worse.

Hope you recover quickly!

Knowing how stiff these old turds are in the front sheetmetal, (from similar experience) , I know that would have hurt...
Glad to hear you are ok Rhett..
