I have to say sailerboi I'm really impressed with the thread and your trailer. I'm very envious. I think I need to find a sankey now. Really enjoyed reading. Jarrod

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 not quite finished but I will finish it at camp when the roof tent is up
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.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 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
Also my parents happened to be throwing this out and I bet you can not guess what I have robbed from it

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
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 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 back to it
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?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,

You could get some stainless cut to size and cut out the new size,a bit like a big washer/pattress to take up the gap

I had that idea too and is a def possibility
I cut some wood out as a template today and fitted in some plywood just to see what it looks like
Really happy with the unit so far though. Also with the lids will give me an added work surface
I am thinking as a cheaper option instead of stainless I will cover the plywood in vinyl wrap ????
