Stunning weather yesterday , and a fantastic place for a festival and only 10 mins drive from home but down this morning , my new jet boil was
And this afternoon went the the caravan and motor home show at the royal Cornwall show grown and that's only 3 mins away from home
Was very tempted -------------------------------------------------

Looks great Stew, how do you carry it ?.... Does it fit in the trailer or in the D3...?
My RV5 is too big for my Sankey trailer so it goes in the D4 but its so long it ends up on the arm rest between the front seats..... I'm thinking of getting a basket so its on top of the disco.
I recon he puts it in the space under the POD Phil
My3 is diagonal in the Sankey currently, may put it up top with the Foxwing, but not sure how just yet Altox GSM FBH controller thread

Mine (RV4) sits quite happily on the standard roof bars, though for next trip to sandy places it'll probably be sitting on top of an aluminium sand ladder.

Yes, he probably does......I'd forgotten about that bloody big space under the pod.
Mind you where would he then put his pasties and cider ?
I'm looking at basket options for the roof as it would give me a of of space back in the disco, when I'm using the RV5 instead of the Sankey/roof tent.
I saw some great roof baskets at the LRO show at Harrogate in May but they were great prices too.
I believe ENT had some plans for a homemade basket, so I need to speak to him.

it fits in the trailer perfect but I've now got a roof box long enough to fit it in so the roof box will be mounted on the trailer so it can go on top , in or under the pod -------------------------------------------------

something for me to think about there, my son is an electrician and they use loads of cable trays etc in all the roofing sections where he works.... I'm sure they will have some scrap...
Hmmm !

Good to see the Cornish celebrating good old Kent oysters! Cheers!
Rather concerned about the wildlife escaping in photo 2 though....

Great pic Dave... So I guess I don't even need a basket, just straight on the roof bars ?
I imagine its just held on with bungee cords and possibly some sort of Lock ?
There's no big deal about using ordinary roof bars. The tent frame is plenty strong enough and I've done thousands of miles in that fashion.
I've only moved to using a roof box as it saves manhandling the tent when it gets wet and also provides easy storage for the multitude of other bags that make up the Oztent 'kit', which for us also includes a Tagalong.
