Howdy from 01 29.3' N 009 23.8' E.
I have been thinking about how much I enjoyed my one night away and am thinking of taking the trailer a little further afield
So has anyone got any suggestions for somewhere down in Devon/ Cornwall?
SWMBO is away as soon as I get home from work so am looking to sneak away for a few days 07 Java Black TD V6 D3, EGRs Blanked, Tow bar, Full dog guard & divider, LED Spots , DRLs, GG ATs, RLD Sump guard, RLD Spare Wheel Protector, D4 LED Rear Lights, Limo tints on boot and Midnight tint on rear windows, Kenwood screen with Garmin nav, Rear cameras, D4 Steering wheel with flappy paddles, T-max split charge system, Tree sliders, Prospeed roof rack & Ladder, Alisport fast road inter cooler,

Well, a D3 never had been in my mind.
130 Crew Cab will do I'd thought and think today.
But
A Sankey was a must have several weeks later.

So finally got a few hours to my self and the trailer
So a few things on the list:
1) Fridge slide needs sorting out
2) Folding awning brackets fitting
3) Batteries and wiring/ distribution board
1) I managed to get a cheap fridge slide off of eBay while I was away (£20). It was far too big for my needs so I have trimmed it down to fit in the front locker. I deceided to make a new base for the slide as the other one was very heavy and huge:
Just waiting for the paint to dry and then will get it all fitted hopefully next week. Also I hope there is enough travel to clear the body to get the lid open
2) got a pair of the new prospeed brackets while I was away too. They are very well made pieces of kit. It now means the awning sits slightly higher but that is ok. Finally touches next week and then that's done
3) Elecrtics are laid out on the bench and the new panel will be wired up hopefully next week. Won't have much time this weekend
I have plenty of pieces that I no longer need so watch out for a forsale thread 07 Java Black TD V6 D3, EGRs Blanked, Tow bar, Full dog guard & divider, LED Spots , DRLs, GG ATs, RLD Sump guard, RLD Spare Wheel Protector, D4 LED Rear Lights, Limo tints on boot and Midnight tint on rear windows, Kenwood screen with Garmin nav, Rear cameras, D4 Steering wheel with flappy paddles, T-max split charge system, Tree sliders, Prospeed roof rack & Ladder, Alisport fast road inter cooler,

Few small items done today.
I got the electric panel looking much much better and slightly tidier behind the panel. Just waiting for my DC to DC charger and typically I got a phone call just to say it was in o well hopefully get it tomorrow
Also got my new slides very very heavy duty from GSF and they are great. I welded up a frame for the fridge to sit in (sorry no pics as I forgot as it was drying). Hopefully get a few hours tomorrow to finish that off and have a test for before fully painting 07 Java Black TD V6 D3, EGRs Blanked, Tow bar, Full dog guard & divider, LED Spots , DRLs, GG ATs, RLD Sump guard, RLD Spare Wheel Protector, D4 LED Rear Lights, Limo tints on boot and Midnight tint on rear windows, Kenwood screen with Garmin nav, Rear cameras, D4 Steering wheel with flappy paddles, T-max split charge system, Tree sliders, Prospeed roof rack & Ladder, Alisport fast road inter cooler,

Found a better pic the volt meter on the left is for the actual in the batteries and the right is the voltage from the Chargers. This will mainly be used for the DC side of things (solar and car battery)
In the picture the Ctek is charging the batteries. It passes through the big black selector switch allowing the desired charging system to be used (12v DC or 240v) 07 Java Black TD V6 D3, EGRs Blanked, Tow bar, Full dog guard & divider, LED Spots , DRLs, GG ATs, RLD Sump guard, RLD Spare Wheel Protector, D4 LED Rear Lights, Limo tints on boot and Midnight tint on rear windows, Kenwood screen with Garmin nav, Rear cameras, D4 Steering wheel with flappy paddles, T-max split charge system, Tree sliders, Prospeed roof rack & Ladder, Alisport fast road inter cooler,

Do you have a link/part number for the slides you bought? Need to replace some ebay cheapies that have pinged their bearings all over the back of the car
