Hey up Doug,
Unfortunately I haven't but when I next go to my parents I'll be putting it up to do a few repairs so I'll take some pics for you mate, primarily it's not fastened to the truck, but it does have a drawstring round the vestibule flap to keep it tight to the vehicle. I found very quickly that I didn't have enough space even with just myself camping so this will be used for kitchen and storage space.
Hope this helps, Regards Chris.
I had myself and two springer spaniels in mine.
Dogs in the back of the Series and me with bed, porta-potty, cooker/oven, table, fridge and storage. I even had a TV set in the 9x9.

Hey up,

Once again apologies for the lack of replies.

Right first off and I hope it isn`t too late, Ian/Rambler



Fluffle Valve, I`m loving the setup you`ve got there bud, very nice.

I`ve built a rear step for the truck, because I was`nt happy with anything on the market and I can.

Hello you lot, I hope everyone is keeping well,

Well I`ve added a another lamp to the old girl which was going to become the reversing lamp but the plan changed, but I still quite like so this seemed like the best place.



and it`s not too obtrusive from the inside either.



and finally I`m on the look out for some 7.50 x 16 road based tires something along the lines of michelin xzy`s but I can`t seem to find anything of that size in metric ( 195 x 85 x 16 ) or imperial, so if anyone knows of anything could you me a shout.

Many Regards Chris

235/85 R16 Continental Cross Contacts are very nice.

We use them and abuse them a lot and they do very well.

Often, as a take off they could be found as they were OE fitment to the debender on steel rims.
