While everyone was still asleep at 7 this morning I thought I would sneak up to the unit and get a few little things done.

I have sorted out power to the roof tent Thumbs Up not quite finished but I will finish it at camp when the roof tent is up Mr. Green

Also sorted the 12v charging from the car. So I could not use the positive from the aid battery as the voltage was not enough for the Ctek to kick in. So not a problem I just connected the positive to the positive lead I have coming from the starter on the the split system solenoid (this means I did not have to run yet another cable) and all is good. Really pleased with it and is a simple system.

Well my welder rang me this morning and said he had an hour to spare so I popped the trailer down and he welded in my new bracket for my beefed up jockey wheel Mr. Green






Also my parents happened to be throwing this out and I bet you can not guess what I have robbed from it Thumbs Up

I have no idea about a beefed up jockey wheel. Sorry about that.

Are you going to make some more detailed pictures about that, please?

Arlo I will indeed take some close up ones for you tomorrow Thumbs Up

It is not a swing up one like the normal sabkey jockey wheels which are pretty beefy already but it is just a 3.5ton ribbed one that is fixed to an 8mm steel plate welded to the draw bar Mr. Green

Well back to it Thumbs Up

Was not happy with the cooker and hob I got for free as the Hobs were not lighting properly and the gas flow was really slow.

So....... Got one of these to install:




I have a slight issue though in that even though the width and length are exactly the same as the old unit the corners are rounded so it is slightly narrower than the frame I have built. So what todo to make it fit better?? Any suggestions?

I had that idea too and is a def possibility Thumbs Up

I cut some wood out as a template today and fitted in some plywood just to see what it looks like Mr. Green

Really happy with the unit so far though. Also with the lids will give me an added work surface Thumbs Up

I am thinking as a cheaper option instead of stainless I will cover the plywood in vinyl wrap ????
